Bob Mortimer explains that the enduring appeal of Mortimer and Whitehouse: Gone Fishing comes from its unscripted conversations and relatable depiction of friendship. He hopes the programme encourages people of all ages, particularly men, to spend substantial amounts of time with friends outside conventional activities such as sport or meeting at a pub. A previously recorded interview was broadcast on Saturday Kitchen Best Bites, which is available on BBC iPlayer and BBC One.
