It should be on I Player mate, though sometimes it may not, depends on the rights. I can't imagine due to popularity it'll be 'held back'.
And besides, Ted wouldn't be happy if they did
he's such a star...but a lot of grey now....growing old disgracefully 🤣 I expect nothing less 😎

Such a mellow episode just disappointed they are now only 30 mins long.... pretty sure they were an hour before.
Not really seen many of these. Watched a couple on some of the repeat channels. But made the effort to sit down and watch the first episode last night. And what a delightful little watch it was aswell. Definitely shows angling as the simple pastime it is. Just two blokes, Rod & reel talking absolute nonsense. Not really worrying what they catch. And going for a few beers after.
Loved the shot of the bite alarm on backwards. Me wondered if a non angling assistant was looking for some content and got the rod on bite alarm shot arse about face. Or it could just of been Bob... " And Away "

Love it, two friends, fishing and life's journeys all shown, so candid.
The way they talk about their life threatening illnesses, human failings, friendship / family acceptance all with belly wrenching humour is so refreshing.
Best thing on tv by a mile.

I think the reeds saved him but his jacket was very wet There were a few good funnies. @ thicky, they're normally 30 mins, xmas specials are a hour iirc, always goes too quickly for me!

Arh i see. Yeh transports me to a very calm world watching those two.... rare series on a tv full of needless violence and nasty stuff.

Similar to me. Fishing is a really personal thing and everybody can take something out of it, you don't need 1000s pounds worth of tackle or to be a superstar angler, it's about getting pleasure out of it for me, at one with nature, not a care in the world, the great escape, which these two portray beautifully

Its the 'only' fishing the wife watches on TV, she thinks they're hilarious! A good watch in our opinion

Look like drennans lakes to me.

I'm not sure if it's still the case but John Bailey used to be credited as a 'fishing consultant' a lot at the end of the programmes, it wouldn't surprise me with his knowledge of Norfolk if he sorted the lake, he has done in the past.
I must admit, I don't really get Mortimer.

Try his autobiography...he makes a bit more sense afterwards

The show is magical and has probably done more than any outside body to protect angling from the antis. A prime time feel good show has meant millions can now understand the passion, relaxation, reflection and mental well being aspect of fishing. Whilst the threat of antis hasn't gone I believe this show has been a great part of showing fishing in a positive light.

Did you never watch Shooting Stars? Vic and Bob were about as out there as it gets, quite marmite in those who liked them.
Brilliant series, last nights episode made me want to try fly fishing for the first time.
Very long may it continue 👌👌

It's the dove from above let's bring it down with coos of encouragement...or something like that...God we watched some xxxx Almost as wierd as some of the screaming reel episodes!
Just watched it, have they got a new camera operator, at times it was like Bob was looking for where he should have been.
Someone convince me Bob's not been having fly casting lessons

Prefer to watch the old stuff to some of the dross on TV these days. Watched the first 2 episodes last night and they were excellent as usual. How PW didnt punch Bob i will never know! Unless that was just for show!

Bumped into Paul and Bob on the royalty fishery a few years ago barbel fishing.
Felt a bit awkward walking past them as I didn't want to disturb their fishing and was sure they would have been pummeled by other passers by looking for autographs etc so simply said ‘alright chaps - had any luck?' Quick as a flash Paul has replied ‘nah it's rubbish - Bobs ****ed if up with his **** casting' Top lads and s top show.

!Spoiler alert!
Fishing, mens health/heart chat, dogs with underbite, rustic bank cooking and possibly the odd forward/backward roll from Bob.
It's the same each week, but I still watch it as the Mrs likes it.
Would be good to get another Passion for Angling style show. Much more effort to make, but these become legendary. Catching the Impossible (sometimes re-hooking it too)

The cake was something else!
I was in Mousehole when they were filming it back at the end of Sept, must be a bit strange doing all the Xmas stuff at that time of year, I noticed the cameraman and the drone operator at the end of the harbour wall and when I looked down to the harbour entrance they were coming back in, they were quite happy to have a photo taken although i'm sure it must be a pain if a lot of people are asking, they both seemed pretty chilled, what a great life but at the end of the day it's work and I expect they have to do multiple takes, the house they were staying in had lots of crew hanging around on the steps outside so quite a few people involved, I asked about Ted and he was in the house so I never got to give him a gentle pat, I think the show is as much about friends and life as it is about fishing
My SKy Glass GUI is pants and i cant find the NY's eve edition but can find everything else!

I just watched it on YouTube.
Great episode and I agree that fishing is the vehicle for the series, not necessarily the focus which sets it apart from most other shows.
I know its like comparing chalk and cheese, but I did enjoy this more than the ESP offering with Tel.

Really enjoyed both Tel and take both for what they are.
Don't really watch Bob and Paul for the fishing content just enjoy watching two good friends spending quality time together.
This episode had the wife and I in stitches .

Oh no, didn't enjoy reading that, that's really sad
Bit quick to say this but I hope there's a Ted 2, the programme will be missing some humour without a pooch and and the over voice, but it won't be the same...hmm
Reall enjoyed following him on FB, always good for a laugh
The Mrs has just finished reading his books, she's upset too.
