!Spoiler alert!
Fishing, mens health/heart chat, dogs with underbite, rustic bank cooking and possibly the odd forward/backward roll from Bob.

It's the same each week, but I still watch it as the Mrs likes it.

Would be good to get another Passion for Angling style show. Much more effort to make, but these become legendary. Catching the Impossible (sometimes re-hooking it too)

Nice one, something to look forward to, thanks for the heads up 👍

Now to try and avoid getting any wiff of what it's about until then, easier said than done nowadays!

Is a great series and watched by many non-anglers it seems.

One question, Paul Whitehouse and Dickie Carr separated at birth ? maybe...

Bumped into Paul and Bob on the royalty fishery a few years ago barbel fishing.
Felt a bit awkward walking past them as I didn’t want to disturb their fishing and was sure they would have been pummeled by other passers by looking for autographs etc so simply said ‘alright chaps - had any luck?’ Quick as a flash Paul has replied ‘nah it’s rubbish - Bobs ****ed if up with his **** casting’ Top lads and s top show.

How he didn't after he lost the Salmon got me but I think he was in rage/shock at what he'd just witnessed

EDIT, a episode where Bob stayed on his feet no less!

Prefer to watch the old stuff to some of the dross on TV these days. Watched the first 2 episodes last night and they were excellent as usual. How PW didnt punch Bob i will never know! Unless that was just for show!

It's the dove from above let's bring it down with coos of encouragement...or something like that...God we watched some xxxx Almost as wierd as some of the screaming reel episodes!

Just watched it, have they got a new camera operator, at times it was like Bob was looking for where he should have been.

Someone convince me Bob's not been having fly casting lessons he looked fairly o.k tonight to me.

Did you never watch Shooting Stars? Vic and Bob were about as out there as it gets, quite marmite in those who liked them.

Brilliant series, last nights episode made me want to try fly fishing for the first time.

Very long may it continue 👌👌

The show is magical and has probably done more than any outside body to protect angling from the antis. A prime time feel good show has meant millions can now understand the passion, relaxation, reflection and mental well being aspect of fishing. Whilst the threat of antis hasn’t gone I believe this show has been a great part of showing fishing in a positive light.

I'm not sure if it's still the case but John Bailey used to be credited as a 'fishing consultant' a lot at the end of the programmes, it wouldn't surprise me with his knowledge of Norfolk if he sorted the lake, he has done in the past.

Its the 'only' fishing the wife watches on TV, she thinks they're hilarious! A good watch in our opinion

Love it, two friends, fishing and life's journeys all shown, so candid.

Similar to me. Fishing is a really personal thing and everybody can take something out of it, you don’t need 1000s pounds worth of tackle or to be a superstar angler, it’s about getting pleasure out of it for me, at one with nature, not a care in the world, the great escape, which these two portray beautifully

I think the reeds saved him but his jacket was very wet There were a few good funnies. @ thicky, they're normally 30 mins, xmas specials are a hour iirc, always goes too quickly for me!

The way they talk about their life threatening illnesses, human failings, friendship / family acceptance all with belly wrenching humour is so refreshing.

Best thing on tv by a mile.

Not really seen many of these. Watched a couple on some of the repeat channels. But made the effort to sit down and watch the first episode last night. And what a delightful little watch it was aswell. Definitely shows angling as the simple pastime it is. Just two blokes, Rod & reel talking absolute nonsense. Not really worrying what they catch. And going for a few beers after.

Loved the shot of the bite alarm on backwards. Me wondered if a non angling assistant was looking for some content and got the rod on bite alarm shot arse about face. Or it could just of been Bob... " And Away "

Such a mellow episode just disappointed they are now only 30 mins long.... pretty sure they were an hour before.

It should be on I Player mate, though sometimes it may not, depends on the rights. I can't imagine due to popularity it'll be 'held back'.
And besides, Ted wouldn't be happy if they did he's such a star...but a lot of grey now....growing old disgracefully 🤣 I expect nothing less 😎
