[Andy Frances]

Hi all,

I’ve just seen that Paul and Bob are back with a new series of the fantastic Gone Fishing, starting on Sunday evening at 8pm on BBC 2

Cheers,

I reckon it's just me but I watched some of one of their programmes last week, for the first time, and got fed up with the incessant twaddle

The fishing probably comes second to the twaddle, probably why it's so popular with non-anglers.

 

[Mark Pevy]

Come on guys, it's just a light hearted, sometimes quite funny program that you shouldn't take too seriously, any sort of fishing on normal telly should be appreciated imo

 

[Bill Walford]

“Horses for Courses”….I am one of the people that like it. TV’s too serious at the moment with what’s going on in the world so a little bit of “twaddle” does me good

I reckon your right you grumpy old sod, I find it very uplifting (although Bob's fishing ability is non existent and therefore irritating) just light hearted "Twaddle" but still entertaining

The wife's a big fan, which says it all really, I watch it but like you find Bob's lack of interest in just mastering the basics frustrating, but that I guess is the point. But have we ever seen a true image of angling in anything on TV apart from anglers themselves?
eg Billy and the Mitchell brothers fishing the 'cut' with Beach Casters

You know its not just you Paul

I'm sure Mr Kenyon would like to re educate you though

 

[Paul Rogers]

I tend to record it and watch later. If the twaddle gets to much, I just fast forward to a fishing bit

 

[Andy Frances]

I've always been a huge fan of twaddle!!

So have I.
I saw his Spurs debut at White Hart Lane many moons ago.

I love Bob Mortimer's surreal sense of humour, but I can understand that some don't.
And away.....

 

[Bob Gill]

Delightful, thoroughly enjoyable programme.
Cheers
Bob

I was out for lunch with some non angling friends who were raving about Bob & Paul's fishing adventures. The fantastic locations and the joy of being in them help non anglers to 'get' some of why we go fishing. In a sense this is a programme about friendship with fishing providing the backdrop, so if you are expecting half an hour aimed squarely at anglers you will be disappointed. Sense of humour is a very personal thing and for me Bob Mortimer is one of the funniest guys on TV. I will be watching!

Hi men,

I listened to their interview on talk sport , and Bob said he was useless , but every day when he gets home he has enjoyed himself , and I think that is the whole point eh .

I really enjoy watching the two of them and my eldest son has watched every episode at least twice. Definitely good for future recruitment.

 

[Bob Watson]

I found it a bit awkward to watch at times, as has been alluded to, the basic skills of casting and holding a rod properly should be achievable within hours. The banter is sometimes funny but sometimes it seems forced, perhaps a quiet moment between them would be better than trying to manufacture humour???

I will watch the latest series though, it's got to be better than the usual drivel pushed out by mainstream tv.

 

[Steven Ballard]

Thank god it was only 30 mins

 

[Neil Smart]

I actually wanted to slap Bob, his performance was completely idiotic and unfunny.
