Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing - The Comedy Classic

THE NEW PAPERBACK EDITION OF THE BESTSELLING COMEDY CLASSIC

THE MUST-HAVE BOOK FOR FANS OF MORTIMER AND WHITEHOUSE: GONE FISHING

The Sunday Times bestseller

Comedy greats Bob Mortimer and Paul Whitehouse have been friends for 30 years, but when life intervened, what was once a joyous and spontaneous friendship dwindled to the odd phone call or occasional catch up. Then, Glory Be! They were both diagnosed with heart disease and realised that time is short. They'd better spend it fishing...

So they dusted off their kits, chucked on their waders and ventured into the achingly beautiful British countryside to fish, rediscover the joys of their friendship and ruminate on some of life's most profound questions, such as: How did we get so old? Where are all the fish? What are your favourite pocket meats? What should we do if we find a corpse?

With a stunning new paperback cover to celebrate one of the nation's most beloved TV shows, Mortimer and Whitehouse: Gone Fishing, this wonderful book by two lifelong friends is an extension of the show: a love letter to the joys of angling, the thrill of the catch and the virtue of having a right daft laugh with your mates.

From the fish to look out for, the equipment, the food, and the locations, Gone Fishing is the perfect book for fans of Bob Mortimer, Paul Whitehouse and for anyone who wants to read a brilliantly written and endlessly funny joint memoir on life, friendship and joys of fishing.
