New series on BBC2 its an enjoyable watch, they do some fishing, but they mostly chat and eat Bobs cooking 
I've followed all their series over the years, been very good for the most part apart from Bob playing the pantomime clown on times.
Anyone follow the series over the years? |  | | |  |

Me and the missus watch it and love it and know naff all about fishing.
Never really liked shooting stars and the Bob & Vic things, but I like Bob in this by all accounts Whitehouse is a bit of a recluse. |  |

I rarely watch the TV and the BBC even less but it is the one series I'll watch and have done sinv ce its inception , everything about it is enjoyable , the banter, the scenery, the calmness .and with the passing of Ted a Its a great reminder that dispite fame & fortune we're all mortal . |  |

Yes I find it a great pick me up when there's almost bugger all else on TV
Very relaxing, gentle humour and fantastic countryside and coast of the British Isles. I haven't fished for nearly 50 years but love the show.
The soundtrack is always superbly chosen as well by Doug Bryson the music editor for the show, It's an eclectic mix of Classical to Callas, lots of folk, early RnR and Blues as well as more contemporary artists but somehow they all gel together to add to the laid back feel.
He obviously has his favourites, Chuck Berry, Richard Hawley, Divine Comedy, Elbow, Nick Drake, Van Morrison..... Joni Mitchell's "River" which is also a favourite of mine seems to have cropped up on a few of the Xmas Specials.
A podcast with Doug about his work on GF can be found here and for those of you with Spotify a playlist of S1-4 of GF. I'm hoping someone will do one for all 9 series and the Xmas Specials soon.

Now I find Bob as amusing as Paul ,they bounce off each other which for me makes for great entertainment , I do get your point about the duracell bunny though  |
He can't walk without falling over mun
I will add that I've had 2 involuntary dunking's in the Wye, one was over reaching for my landing net, I caught the fish though, 2nd time was a slip and in I went with a large plop  | | | |

Considering the current state of the Wye we’re lucky to still have you here 😉 | |

Going 30 yrs now, was with a mate who started me off Coarse fishing, first trip to Wye when I first had a drink of Wye water, sadly my mate then has passed away now, I lost touch with after my youngest was born, brilliant angler, it was said that he could catch fish in damp grass
He was living in Trefil just up on the left up from the slip road to Tredegaer off A465.
We going up this weekend, not sure I'll be fishing though, hurt my back a week last Wednesday and its still not right, can't even drive at moment due to left leg causing back pain, its hr 1/2 to Hereford from me, so unless there's a vast improvement I can't see us going | | | |
