    Wonderful

    Sometimes in life, all you need is half an hour of two incredibly funny men fishing, chatting, introspecting and making you laugh and that is what you get here. Gone Fishing is relaxing, beautiful on the eye, occasionally quite moving and, above all, just funny. It's a show I could watch again and again.

    Nothing happens, but in the best possible way

    2 comedians produce something only occasionally funny, but always profound. A meditation on death that soothes the soul, and calms the clouded mind. If you don't expect their comedy of old, you will be rewarded with pathos in spades

    Totally hooked.

    What I love about this show is you feel these two comedic stars are real buddies. They play off each other with great timing but also have a goal with a fish to catch. Whoever worked out the format deserves a pat on the back.

    If you want to escape the stresses of day to day life then kickback and watch these two chaps doing what most men of a certain age would love to do.

    Just a gentle reminder

    What's not to love about this series?

    Two of England's favourite funny men talking through life and fishing after both having health scares Both of these men have been corner stones of the comedy in the UK since the early 90's in there respective duo's but were firm friends before embarking on this BBC gem

    May both live to be much older and brighten our screens for years to come.

    Review from a non fisherman

    It doesn't matter whether you fish or not this beautiful series is perfection. Rarely have I seen a program that shows our Country in such a glorious light. Mortimer and Whitehouse rapport is both hilariously funny and at times very moving. The background music is also perfectly chosen, The Proclaimers - After you've gone in Season 2 is a particularly moving highlight as is Vide Cor Meum at the close of Season 3. If you want 30 minutes of calm joyous television after the stresses of modern living please watch this show.
