I must be honest, I have never been a great fan of either of the stars of the show in their other shows...but, this show is an absolute joy to watch. Bob Mortimer and Paul Whitehouse are obviously good friends, this is apparent from the very first minutes of the first episode, they have a genuine rapport that can only be built over years of friendship, they are relaxed in each others company and their 'idle' chat is natural, unforced and unscripted. Mr Whitehouse shows his genuine love and actual great knowledge of fishing while Mr Mortimer has a puppies enthusiasm and a real wish for his friend to achieve his per episode goal. Sometimes poignient, sometimes funny ( laugh out loud in parts ) but always a pure joy.....I'm hooked.

What I love about this show is you feel these two comedic stars are real buddies. They play off each other with great timing but also have a goal with a fish to catch. Whoever worked out the format deserves a pat on the back.If you want to escape the stresses of day to day life then kickback and watch these two chaps doing what most men of a certain age would love to do.

Me? Watch a programme about two old blokes with dodgy tickers going fishing? With my reputation? I wasn't sure about this but it totally works, Paul & Bob have a brilliant rapport & you get the impression this is so easy for them to pair up, albeit due to the fact that they have similar ailments in common. It's funny, thought provoking & a genuine "buddy" programme.

This show is just a genuine nice show about two comedian friends who just so happen to have had heart operations and now are living life to the full. Its a show you will just smile at throughout
