BOB AND PAUL ARE BACK ON TV FOR CHRISTMAS

An hour-long special of Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Christmas Fishing will air over the festive period, and this year an array of special guests are set to join Bob and Paul on the riverbank.
Britain’s favourite TV fishing show will go out on BBC2 at 9:00pm on Boxing Day, and follows the intrepid duo as they head to the Rivers Tyne and Eden in search of an English salmon – a species either has yet to catch.
 
Among the star names accompanying them to the water’s edge will be local North East legend Paul Gascoigne, who admits that fishing comes a close second to his passion for football, while doctor Anand Patel will also be chatting to Bob on the riverside about loneliness during the festive season and how we can all help those who may suffer isolation during Christmas.

Fishing dog Ted will be with them again, and all three take an emotional trip to a local dog shelter, while Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott from the band The Beautiful South will also make a special appearance on the show, along with another surprise guest who has yet to be revealed.

There are plenty of laughs, a few tears and some big surprises in this special episode, which will leave you well and truly immersed in the Christmas spirit!

If you would like to see last years Christmas special it will be shown  on Tuesday 21st December at 6:30pm on BBC2

River Severn at Diglis Worcester
Matthew Reeves-Styles, 28, was brought before Northampton Magistrates Court where he pleaded guilty to fishing with a rod and line but without a licence in the River Severn at Diglis.
He also pleaded guilty at the hearing on Monday, November 22 to attempting to take freshwater fish during the annual close season on the same day on Monday, May 17.

Reeves-Styles, from Swan Lane in Bromsgrove, was fined a total of £80.00 for the offences and ordered to pay costs of £15.00 and a surcharge of £34.00.

It comes after people were spotted fishing off of the Diglis Basin in October.

The Canal and Rivers Trust has stressed there should be no fishing at the city location and urged people to contact the authorities if they see fishing taking place.
