Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing

This is the BBC Two fishing show with Bob Mortimer and Paul Whitehouse, not the 2026 horror game. Series 9 premieres at 9pm on Sunday 25 October 2026 on BBC Two and iPlayer.

Wikipedia’s infobox, read for this guide on 23 October 2026, counts 8 series plus 5 specials and 56 episodes through series 8. Episodes run about 30 minutes. The production company is Owl Power. Series 9 is 6 episodes, from Shetland to Hampshire, scheduled to finish 29 November 2026.

How the show is shaped

The pair travel, fish, and talk about life and health. Both men have had heart surgery. Mortimer’s triple bypass in 2015 is the Wikipedia account of why Whitehouse suggested a fishing trip that later became the series. UK viewing is BBC iPlayer. A US streaming home was not confirmed in the sources used here, so this page does not name Netflix or Disney+.

Ted

Ted is a Patterdale terrier who joined in series 3. The available sources used for this page do not independently substantiate the claim that Ted died in April 2026, so this page makes no claim about his current status. The BBC media pack is the primary source for series 9 information.
