Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing: Life, Death and the Thrill of the Catch by Bob Mortimer
5.0
A heartwarming meditation on life, friendship and the pastime of angling, in the distinct voices of two British comedy stalwarts. There's plenty packed in for an eager (novice) fisherman like myself, but also an appreciation of the history of Britain's countryside and accommodations, rivers and their fascinating inhabitants.
The show is both a joy and a touch melancholy, particularly when you finish the final episode in the second series or when Paul and Bob reflect on their mortality and brush with serious heart illness. This book is the perfect complement.
