Great news! Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing is set to return
for its eighth series, which is especially wonderful given Bob
Mortimer’s recent health issues. The beloved show will revisit the
riverbanks that shaped the formative years of Paul Whitehouse
and Bob Mortimer.
Filming will begin later this year for six new episodes, taking the
pair to Whitehouse’s birthplace of Wales and revisiting Mortimer’s
early years in the north-west of England, along with their trusty
dog, Ted.
Bob Mortimer shared his excitement: “I’m looking forward to
visiting old haunts from my younger years as Paul and I travel
back in time for this series, fishing in places that shaped our lives.”
Fans can also look forward to the seventh series airing later this
year, featuring episodes filmed in Bedfordshire, North Norfolk,
and Northern Ireland.
