Among all the dross on TV these days there is always a gem of a programme,the wife and I are ambling our way through the five series and two Xmas specials of MWGF with an episode or two just before bedtime,it's funny,sad,thought provoking and quite a relaxing way to end the day,Whitehouse bollocking Mortimer every time he has a bite and the sheer joy Bob has on his face as he gets a bite is a delight,it's not just about fishing,Bob is quite a good cook and dishes up some good looking stuff,if you guys are looking for something funny & interesting as an alternative to all the crap TV serves up these days give this a go it's great fun.
Footnote Bob falls over a lot.

Absolutely loves his fishing Paul, once bumped into him on the Hampshire Avon.

He is quite good at it....unlike Bob.

Likewise, I love the series. Good for men to talk about their health too.

The pair of them have plenty to talk about on the health front,Bob has been struggling these last few weeks,he really is a lovely bloke.

Brilliant programme!

Love the show to bits but not about fishing. Series 5 and Bob still has no clue.

Superb tv show.

Apart from this being the best show on tv at the moment ...has anyone got any netflix recommendations for something new worth watching?
Tried watching Dahmer....is that really entertainment ?
Watched The Watcher recently good till the end.,then a really shite ending.

We need something good to watch ...Help.

Enjoy this.

Easy to watch, and saves me the trouble and expense of going fishing myself.

And awaaaaay!

Is it worth watching if you want a chilled out experience?

Brilliant entertainment with 5 series to go at.

Ted is the funniest of the lot.

Naw...Bob & Paul impersonating Ted is the funniest.

Loved every ep' from day one.
Perfectly paced.
Stunningly filmed.
Superbly edited.
Poignant in parts yet always optomistic...
With just enough daftness to create smiles and laughs.

Bob always falling is your slapstick laughs.
Pauls berating always funny.
Banter with pathos.
Trapped Potatoes has now been applied by me for every tinned product.

Bottom line...
It's Perfect Telly,

Oh...and Ted has better bottom teeth than Bob, (without having to use Fuji)

Just a heads up to anyone that's interested in our rivers and the way the water companies are destroying our rivers,
Paul Whitehouse has a new series out called Our Troubled Waters I watched the 1st episode tonight,as ever Whitehouse explains in his own unique way our rivers are being ruined the greedy water companies,if your intrested in the environment this is an eye opening programme,the programme is just missing Bob.

But the Tories said privatisation of water would benefit all

Serious issue. The water companies are killing the rivers, who'd have thought it.

Thank you lads…. I’ve just started the first series.

Just got a tench. Lovely fish. Enjoyed that. 5 seasons apparently, happy with that.

I’m hooked!

This is a great favourite in our house. Great entertainment and about much more than fishing

And paying their shareholders massive amounts of money,from obscene profits for the privilege.

Spot on !
Brilliant programme that has everything you want….
Absolutely love Bob Mortimer - everything he does. Back to the stuff he did with Vic, athletics mince, train man, the best panellist on Would I lie to you….everything !!
His autobiography is really interesting and I’ve just read his first novel and that was great too. Typical Bob humour inter woven into a pretty good story too.

Love Paul Whitehouse too - an extremely talented and funny guy.

Hoorah the best show on TV is back....brilliant fun.
