ON THE HOOK

Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing, 9pm, BBC2

BOB and Paul (pictured) — and terrier Ted — set out to fish for grayling in the River Dee in Wales. So far on their travels, Bob has been unable to catch the ‘lady of the stream’, and it seems he lacks the patience to hook a grayling again, instead pretending to be a barista on the riverbank. After a serene day of fishing, the pair sit in their accommodation, surrounded by flowers, and get philosophical as they muse about ageing and eternal life.
