Next Episode
Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone FishingPike is a programme that is presented as a single episode. It falls under the genre of an episode‑style broadcast, offering a self‑contained story rather than a multi‑part series. In this instalment, Paul and Bob set off for Enniskillen with the aim of finally catching a pike that slipped away from them in the first series. The two friends board a flight to the town and then head straight for the waters of Lough Erne, where they hope the elusive fish will finally be within reach. Their quest centres on locating and landing the powerful specimen that has so far evaded them. The setting of Lough Erne provides the backdrop for their pursuit, its expansive lake offering the perfect habitat for the sizeable pike they are after. By taking to these waters, Paul and Bob immerse themselves in the local fishing scene, intent on turning the previous disappointment into a successful catch. Throughout the episode, the pike is portrayed as a mighty creature, embodying the challenge that has driven the pair back to the lake. Their determination to overcome the earlier failure drives the narrative, as they pursue the fish that has become both a goal and a symbol of their perseverance.
