Fresh off the back of the fifth season, fans will be delighted to hear that Mortimer and Whitehouse: Gone Fishing is back for a festive special.
The show will follow comedians and friends Bob Mortimer and Paul Whitehouse as they travel to Norway, on the hunt to find a variety of species of fish, including cod, halibut and pollock.
“The ultimate prize is an attempt to catch the hard-fighting coalfish, nicknamed cold water cheetahs in the tough waters of the legendary maelstrom,” a teaser for the episode says.
Sadly, their trusty terrier Ted is unable to join the pair on their adventure, but Paul certainly makes sure he is there in spirit – plus the pals are joined by a very special guest, who is yet to be announced.
