Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing

De: Bob Mortimer, Paul Whitehouse

Narrado por: Bob Mortimer, Paul Whitehouse

Join these two comedy greats and lifelong friends on their journey from recuperation to riverbank in this hilarious and heart-warming audiobook that gives you a front-row seat at an exclusive Bob and Paul production.

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?

Following the success of the BBC's Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing series, this wonderful audiobook by two lifelong friends is a love letter to the joys of angling, the thrill of the catch and the virtue of having a right daft laff with your mates. On the fish, the equipment, the food, and the locations, Gone Fishing is the perfect audiobook for fans of Bob Mortimer, Paul Whitehouse and for anyone who wants to listen to a brilliantly written and endlessly funny joint memoir on life, friendship and joys of fishing.

Audio edition includes an exclusive fishing trip with Bob and Paul.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"One of the best audiobooks of 2019." (The Guardian)

"Mortimer and Whitehouse natter away in the most enjoyable, natural way, with plenty of off-page asides and affectionate nitpicking." (Sian Cain, The Guardian)

Hilarious - Thank you Bob and Paul

I could listen to the two of them for hours. I have no particular interest in fishing, but enjoy their company. Having listened to this, maybe one day I will try fishing… if I find the right companion to join me.

Superb

I really enjoyed listening to this easy going, honest and at the same time, very funny audible book. I would say this book isn’t just about fishing - it is for anyone who enjoys being outside and enjoying the UK countryside; enjoys the easy going humour of Bob and Paul; may have had a serious health or heart condition and is happy to listen to their tales of fishing in a relaxed environment; and perhaps might want to give fishing a go. Their friendship really comes across well and their narration is excellent. Paul is teaching Bob the art of different types and fishing and Bob teaches Paul some healthy cooking!
I have had always thought of myself as a really bad fly fisherman but according to Bob I am a good fisherman because it is down to how much you enjoy it rather than how many fish you catch!
I would really recommend.
