Such an incredible series! Very emotive seeing Paul listen to his mother singing. Also trust Bob to catch the fish of a lifetime 😄😄

Yet again a sublime piece of entertainment. If you are ever feeling melancholy, Bob catching that salmon will put a smile on your face and lift your heart, guaranteed!

This has to be the most humbling of fishing shows I've ever watched. Laughs and tears. So beautiful, I just wish the whole world where like these two. Legends. ❤

the present is the greatest gift i have ever seen anyone give anyone .

After my husband died of dementia this was what we turned to as a family agentle series so honestly good we think it should win awards love and thanks to you all😊❤

What a wonderful Christmas tale of friendship, and amazing photography set in the beautiful North Eastern countryside. Thankyou Paul and Bob for taking away my loneliness if only for an hour

What a wonderful, heartwarming series. I never understood why anyone would want to spend hours trying to catch a fish - until now. It's difficult to find something worth watching these days - so much violent and depressing content offered - but this is so uplifting and an absolute joy to watch. Thank you xxx

From a pommy living in New Zealand… feels quite emotional to watch this and admit how beautiful the British countryside is and always holds a purity. These two legends of British TV have made a wholesomeness out of something I never knew I needed… please keep making them :)

What a voice - what a singer - and what a beautiful gesture to a friend as a grand finale to a great and gorgeous day on the river with a rod a mate a dog and the grandest of all fish a salmon !🙏

Paul and Bob have provided some of the comedic highlights of my life. These programmes have been , at differing times, heart warming, life affirming, touching and hilario. Less than a year ago, I was where Bob and Paul where pre-op. A simple visit to my doctor resulted in me having a treble heart bypass, a much more senior operation(no disrespect Mr Whitehouse). It was after my diagnosis, that these amazingly simple and beautiful programmes become my lifeline, my mental anchor and a great place to reflect. To anyone who reads this, please seek medical advice if something, even the simplest thing doesn't feel normal. I did and it probably saved my life, and Paul and Bob's antics and reflections saved my mental health too. Thanks guys, tight lines.

I can't get enough of these 2! My comedy heroes

The moment Bob gifted the recording of Paul's mum voice transferred to vinyl is when I clicked the Like button. How can you not..

These two make me proud to be a human being ❤️

So heartwarming to see Bobs face when he told Paul to put the salmon back . For a moment he was just an excited little boy again 😊

I don't know why I haven't watched this before. Love Bob, and he's perfect with Paul. Almost in tears about the cynicism part and how there are always decent people about. Bob and Paul are decent people and very peaceful now. Love it.

Just such a relaxing, feel good, lovely show of fishing, friendship, life's struggles, comedy, beautiful views and scenery plus ted the dog lol!!

Just a wonderful pair of characters....... funny, emotional and so relatable

Paul's mothers voice was amazing. Hits me right in the guts n heart. I love these 2.

Who ever finds the music for this series deserves a special mention, its always great

Wonderful. Thank you.

Stunning- especially Paul listening to his mums voice

As an expat that has lived in Southern California for 30 year’s, this show and these two gentlemen , almost make me want to come home.

Pickled onions in the eyes from 50:20. You can hear the TV people in the background trying not to laugh.

That scene with the record playing was pure gold, what a wonderful family history, good show Whitehouse you should be rightly proud old boy, and well done to Mortimer for setting it up.

55:23 Look at the pure joy on his little face

I really needed this. Thank you ! Thank you !

Oh, my heart, that ending 💓💓💓

It must be so good to have a friendship like their’s.

im a keen fisherman but this program is so nice, they bring a tear to my eye with there true to life antics,

Amazing to see Paul and Jackie Et al... But seeing Gazza back on form is fantastic

I tear up every time I see this.

Just finished catching up on the whole set. Came to this in series 3. A fishing programme, where fishing is not important it's the friendship, the places, the guests and the ill health. This must be up there as one of, if not the best, programmes ever devised for TV.

Such a beautiful program 🤗💕 a much-needed dose of chicken noodle soup for the soul - cheers to Bob and Paul and to you all! Edit: Cheers to sweet Ted, as well 🐕

We really do live in such a beautiful country -- get out of the cities, even just for a bit, and enjoy it. You really don't have to leave this country to find stricking beauty.

What a lovely gift from Bob.

Love your shows hope you are able to do more thank you

Bob's gift for Paul was wonderful. The joy tinged with a little sadness for Paul was visible for everyone to see.

All the trees in full leaf at Christmas, it`s a miracle

Great cinematography, those Two old blokes aren’t bad either

Best show on tv

I might be a year behind down here in Sydney but I send my best Xmas wishes for this year and look forward to seeing you in 2023. Thank you for the many many smiles and laughs.

I'm a Brit now living abroad and just stumbled across this series. An incredible insight into how two mates can just get away from this mad world and enjoy each others company. Always liked both of them but together they are simply outstanding. Nice going guys and keep it coming.

Andy's Man Club is a good way for men to combat loneliness.

Lovely show

Paul's heart must have been fit to burst when he heard his mum's voice on that record. I know mine was. But then to see Bob get his Christmas English Salmon, finished me off.

I have nearly every episode and now KZfaq has "discovered" them I can watch them all. This has to be one of the best but, well just but...

Wonderful

Pure genius 👏

Hi the most Handsome paul Whitehouse ❤xxx

I don’t live in the Uk anymore but after listening to bobs book it brought me here and made want to go fishing with my best mate, who has been being me to go for years

This makes me so happy xx

Ted's the star-----

DON'T WIND!

Great show. It's not entirely about fishing, is it? Well done.

wonderful

Looks like August to me Bob

Fabulous episode

Brilliant!

5:30 the fish popping up to hear what all the fuss is about

These guys remind me a little of the two fishermen, Bob James and Chris Yates who starred in the series "A Passion for Angling" which was shown on the BBC I believe, over 30 years ago. The series is still available on DVD. Some episodes are on KZfaq and are well worth watching.

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Looking fwd to series 5, then 6, 7, 8, 9……………..

How did they miss that jumping fish at 5:32 .... too busy larking about. Ah well, never mind.

❤❤❤

The only fault is that’s definitely not December, looks like summer

❤️

should just be a show about ted lol

I CAME: )

are they going to make any more for us

Does anyone know what aria Paul's mother Anita was singing please ?

Judg by the surrounding foliage this was filmed in August/September. I know that these programs have to be filmed in advance but,come on, try to be authentic.

Said August/September…maybe July this “Christmas special “was filmed. Get a grip,produces, At least try to be authentic. Shudder at the thought of an Easter special filmed in December. Spoils the whole thing.

This is the gayist fishing program I've ever seen
