Hooked

I must be honest, I have never been a great fan of either of the stars of the show in their other shows...but, this show is an absolute joy to watch.
Bob Mortimer and Paul Whitehouse are obviously good friends, this is apparent from the very first minutes of the first episode, they have a genuine rapport that can only be built over years of friendship, they are relaxed in each others company and their 'idle' chat is natural, unforced and unscripted.
Mr Whitehouse shows his genuine love and actual great knowledge of fishing while Mr Mortimer has a puppies enthusiasm and a real wish for his friend to achieve his per episode goal.
Sometimes poignient, sometimes funny ( laugh out loud in parts ) but always a pure joy.....I'm hooked.
