Paul Whitehouse, comedian and co-star of BBC's Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing and John Bailey, fishing consultant on the show since it first aired, have been devout fishermen for longer than they care to remember. A hobby, pastime or sport (call it what you want), they have felt the pull of the water ever since they were kids and have never missed the chance to set up on the bank and try their luck. The two fishermen discuss the rich tapestry that is fishing - from mentors to memories; from philosophy to modern jargon; from watercraft to becoming self-styled 'Fishing Detectives'. They share brilliant stories and recollections from fishing trips past, rich in the wonders of the riverbank.
