Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing

Paul Whitehouse and Bob Mortimer fish the River Tay for salmon

Bob Mortimer has harboured a childhood dream to catch a salmon, so together with friend Paul Whitehouse, he sets off for the River Tay in Scotland full of hope and excitement. A ghillie guides them up the intimidating river in a boat and they fish using various methods to catch the elusive fish. They stay in the heart of the Highlands, where Bob cooks Paul a traditional Scottish breakfast and enjoy a swift round of golf before resuming their fishing. The duo also reflect on luck and fate and the part it has played in their lives and later assess whether the trip has lived up to their expectations
