One of the nation's favourite fishing TV shows returns to screens at 9pm this Sunday 3rd September, as Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing series six gets underway.
Running for six weeks on BBC2, this year's show takes comedians Bob Mortimer and Paul Whitehouse on a tour of the UK, including visits to the Scottish Borders, Wales, Shropshire, Wiltshire and Burgh Island off the Devon coast. The legendary duo will be fishing for everything from carp to chub, and no doubt staying in some rather interesting accommodation.

Kicking off with a visit to Welsh rivers Irfon and Wye in episode 1, Bob and Paul meet Tackling Minds founder Dave Lyons, who explains how angling can help people battling mental health issues. An example of just one of the many ways this popular show helps promote angling to the wider public.
Recently appearing on BBC's The One Show to talk about the new series, one of the main topics of conversation was the third star of the show, Ted the dog, who apparently according to Bob, "goes on a date, that doesn't go too well." The pair also celebrate Ted's birthday.
A seventh series has already been commissioned to go ahead by the BBC and air next year, so anglers have plenty to look forward to!
