Paul Whitehouse interview
'Turning Only Fools And Horses into a musical is a bit daunting'.
Evening Standard, 23rd January 2019Paul Whitehouse interview
Paul Whitehouse is funny from the moment he walks in the room...
Gillian Rowe, Saga Magazine, 10th January 2019With no series of The Trip this year, a new pair of self-ironising, physically fading comics arrived to provide a sunnier take on kinship between two very funny middle-aged men. Those of us who didn't even know Bob Mortimer and Paul Whitehouse were mates soon delighted in the closeness of their evidently long-held friendship, as they simply went fishing together and chatted as they sat waiting on the riverbank. Notes of wistful, mortal vulnerability, along with the slight competitiveness that's always there when two comedians meet, gave their conversations depth to go with the endless silly laughs.

British Comedy Guide, 9th August 2018The final riverbank rumination in a series ornamented by Bob Mortimer's buffoonery, not to mention his ineptitude with a fishing rod. Paul Whitehouse remains infinitely patient as the pair go after pike on the Test in Hampshire for their final outing - and fear they may have to settle for perch.
Mike Bradley, The Guardian, 25th July 2018Gone Fishing has been the perfect antidote to bleak TV
You might not have thought that two ageing comedians bumbling around Britain in their waders would make for one of the surprise TV highlights of 2018. But Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing definitely has been.
