About this listen

Joining us at Audible Studios are Bob Mortimer and Paul Whitehouse, lifelong friends, fans of fishing, and well-known comedians.

When life got in the way of Mortimer and Whitehouse's friendship, they found their connection dwindled to occasional catch ups and one-off phone calls. Then, conveniently, they were both diagnosed with heart disease! And they realised life is short, and they should spend it together, doing what they love: fishing.

Following the success of their BBC series, Gone Fishing, Mortimer and Whitehouse have created an audiobook of the same name, which is their love letter to the joys of angling and the simple wonder of just having a laugh with your mates.

We spoke to Mortimer and Whitehouse about going off script to record the audiobook, how chatting about their health has got others talking, the importance of silence, wildlife loving Bob, Paul bumping into otters, the wisdom of Paul Daniels, Bob’s expertise on white goods...and the list goes on.

This doesn't need much of a hard sell if like me you are a huge fan of Bob n Paul anyway. I loved this so much I listened to it twice. Its a very engaging discussion and the relationship between Paul and Bob is a joy to hear.

Engaging and entertaining

Anyone who has seen Bob Mortimer and Paul Whitehouse's show Gone Fishing will know that not only are these two very funny but they are natural in each other's company. I could listen to their banter all day and, I suspect, this interview to promote their Audiobook to support the TV series did not quite go the way that Holly Newson planned. Several times during this they go off tangent for examples Bob's foray into the features and benefits of various vacuum cleaners is hilarious. I would urge anyone to listen to this as it is a work of comedy in its own right. I will get round to listening to the Audiobook too when I get chance.
