Mortimer and Whitehouse: Gone Christmas Fishing – BBC Two HD
Airs: Wednesday 23rd December, 6:30pm
Over three series, this gently profound series has become one of the very
best shows on television, and Bob and Paul are back for a festive special as
they fish for Grayling in the River Esk and Tees in Bob’s hometown
Middlesborough.
At the same time Bob aims to bring some Christmas job to Paul – who has
grown cynical about the commercialisation of the festival – by hosting an
office party for two, cooking a memorable Christmas dinner and getting
together with local lad Chris Rea, who provided one of the most enduring
festive pop songs of all time.
