Just watched, I’m infuriated by Mortimer’s fucking around
I think Paul had a sense of humour failure but sort of reigned it in and it was edited
he is performatively ungainly!! No one can be that shit
9/10 for actual fishing and location
1/10 for not leaving Mortimer back in the accommodation

As I have noted before the scenery of the British countryside is the main attraction, Paul and Bob are a worthy support act.
Bob’s panicking and inexperience are evident throughout and Paul does well not to become even more wound up given both their medical conditions. There is nothing like an inexperienced angler trying to just drag fish out of the water.
I must admit though recently the deterioration of my own sense of balance makes me more aware of possible mishaps whenever I’m fishing, it’s no fun when you are always having to concentrate on staying upright, especially near water.

what do you mean inexperienced? It’s their third series, you’d think they would have nailed it by now (if they took it seriously lol)
Fourth series actually, but if he cannot control his reactions he will always just bumble on.
The programme is not primarily about fishing, it’s about going to wonderful remote places, with someone who cares enough about you to take time to accept your failings and health problems.
And still be there to help I assume.

More like *fanny* la rouge!
And that’s what’s great about it. I wouldn’t watch a serious fishing show. But a gentle show where two old friends laugh, sometimes bicker, sometimes get on the other’s nerves, but still have a warmth and friendship for each other, while in their own old male way, sometimes talk about deep stuff, but never too much because that’s uncomfortable for them. In peaceful scenery. And one of them keeps falling over? Beautiful. Utterly beautiful.

If I was being cynical I would suggest if Paul hasn’t imparted even the basic fishing knowledge and skills to Bob he is a very un generous fisherman
i doubt that so revert back to it just being a pantomime Bob executes for entertainment purposes. Would the show be as “entertaining” if Bob improved and took the fishing a little bit less silly, it would help with millions of watching fishermen’s blood pressures
I’m working on the principles that if this is all I have to moan about today I’m doing alright

meh
Beautiful trout btw. Great place. I’ve virtually run out of Hebrides to visit tho.no wild camping by the pair.or power drinking on the beach at midnight

Bob Mortimer eating a pickled egg in the style of a Thunderbirds puppet. Doesn't get much better than that.

Having just caught up with the last two episodes I am still marvelling at the beauty and isolation of the countryside.
What I am getting from the programme this series is much as I love Bob Mortimer, I am beginning to think his antics, the over excitement when a targeted species is caught and his lack of ability at landing fish, is an act and laid on thick for the camera. He should be learning how to be better, purely for causing the fish less anxiety.

IT'S YOUR DECISION DANIEL
Its still my favourite programme but this series seems a little thinner than previous.
Less funny chats or maybe heartfelt ones.

Didn't they eat sea bass? I'm sure your right about fresh water though.
Maybe you're right.
Maybe I need to go back and watch all three previous series to be sure.
I only considered they released freshwater fish.
