The fishing series premiered on BBC Two back in 2018, and has become very popular, with the pair now in their fourth season.<\/p>\n
Speaking exclusively to RadioTimes.com<\/a>, Bob and Paul revealed the secret behind the show\u2019s success.<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of programmes right with two blokes going around somewhere remote \u2013 there always have been. But what we don\u2019t do is have any voiceover,\u201d Paul explained.<\/p>\n \u201cWe never do any of that, and this is actually quite intrusive, you know, and I think removing that voiceover and explanation all the time, just allows the programme just to rest and people are more drawn in, in a way.\u201d<\/p> Paul says they liked this feature so much, they toyed \u201cwith the idea of saying absolutely nothing throughout an entire week.\u201d<\/p>\n Neither Paul or Bob thought the show would take off when they initially came up wit the idea.<\/p>\n \u201cWe weren\u2019t even convinced when we went into the BBC and pitched it,\u201d Paul continued. \u201cWe thought, \u2018No way are they going to vote for that!\u2019 But, but they did. I think what underpinned it is that it just came out of real life. We haven\u2019t had to make anything up. We were going away fishing, as part of Bob\u2019s sort of recovery, and we went to lovely places and we stayed overnight.\u201d<\/p>\n But it sounds like we\u2019ll be seeing lots more of the pair, as Bob hinted at the show\u2019s future.<\/p>\n \u201cWe will keep doing it as long as they can have us and if they won\u2019t have us, we\u2019ll just carry on fishing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n As for the fourth series, viewers can expect to see Bob falling over quite a bit.<\/p>\n When asked about their highlights from the new series, Bob said: \u201cI think in the very first show, people quite enjoyed the fact that I fall over a lot, and people being people, in the first episode I do the fall that hurts me the most and I think people enjoy that. I know Paul did.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt is quite a bad one because you land on a rock,\u201d Paul added.<\/p>\n \u201cI think that might be a highlight for viewers not for me as much,\u201d Bob continued. \u201cThe highlight for me was catching my first fish \u2013 a fish that\u2019s called a tench. Ever since, I mean for going back five, six years, I always wanted to catch a tench and I did manage to get one!\u201d<\/p>\n Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing returns with a new series on Sunday 29th August at 8pm on BBC Two.
