Mortimer And Whitehouse: Gone Fishing, BBC Two preview
In the first episode set on and in the River Tweed it actually seems to be Paul Whitehouse that does most of the heavy lifting when it comes to the fishing. Whitehouse has been the Mr Miyagi to Mortimer's Karate Kid throughout two series so far and I'm not sure how much Mortimer has actually picked up.

Mark Jefferies, The Mirror, 18th August 2020One and done: Vic and Bob's Lucky Sexy Winners
Being a huge fan of Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer meant that before watching this 2012 pilot from the duo I presumed by the end of it I'd be shaking my fist at the injustice of it not being given a full series, and indeed that was the case. It's not as if Vic and Bob are exactly newcomers to tv either, presumably Channel 4 knew exactly what they'd be getting from the deranged duo and so it feels odd that it wasn't picked up.

Alex Farber, Broadcast, 22nd June 2020Review - Comedians: Home Alone
I suppose a new generation of TV editors thinks this is how telly must work. They never watched it when they were growing up, of course, because they were glued to their phones.
Christopher Stevens, Daily Mail, 2nd June 2020Review - Comedians: Home Alone
This must have been one of the easiest comedy compilation shows to curate. With the live circuit in its induced coma, so many stand-ups are pumping out online content online that the whole internet is one giant audition room.
