Not watched a single episode to be honest!
I think the best thing they done in a long time was when Mr Peck done a tour of Germany, Holland and a couple of Publics in France.

Well worth a watch then you might be pleasantly surprised, big foreign waters, not always well known.
For some, less annoying now if your not a fan of Ali. The dynamic changed last series, don't think they'd yet settled, be interesting to see if its changed again on this one.
EDIT, Mrs enjoys it too, always a bonus

I think it's brilliant. A lot of effort goes into it. Free well produced videos so it's always welcome

You may have swung me. I'll have a look.

funny enough just recently I stumbled on an episode and watched it and was just the 2 of them
SO MUCH BETTER without that over acting **** I could never watch it all before

I don't dislike Hamidi as a person, but I found the show unwatchable when he was on it. I watched a few since he has gone and enjoyed them far more than I expected. Its just fishing based entertainment, I wouldn't go out your way to watch it, but if its on, give it a try.

I think you have to watch it as a prime time family entertainment show with fishing in it, rather then a fishing programme.
My Mrs will happily sit and watch Monster Carp with me, and (debatable if good or bad) it got her to come a on a couple of weekend sessions after she watched them.
It does grate on me at times but i just mentally turn off to it now. Where as i watch some of the cypography stuff and it has my mind spinning thinking of things and how to apply use in my own fishing,

Much better without the pretend cockney in it.

watched it last night, had more fish in a week than i have a year, with most being bigger than i ever catch, so a bit like watching cough cough art movies
where the blokes are huge, then look at the wifes dinner 
, bit demoralising for us lesser mortals tbh

Thought it was quite entertaining. Started watching them from series 1 after it and the first season was cringeworthy to say the least

Tbh, I didn't like that one, souless springs to mind not only from the fishing aspect but also the presenting, I thought Dovey looked bored and I think that came across. Still, looking forward to the next one, onwards and upwards!

Also couldnt watch it with the big ego in it .There was 1 or 2 subtle digs at small persons syndrome hamidi in the last series as well .Knew it was coming as these subtle digs have been made before about his persona .Patronising jumped up little jerk
