It’ll come out let’s not worry about that um right let’s make a toasty so uh so this like I said I’m going to keep focusing on the stain I just want to see it’s not a to cuz you’re frying it I know but it makes it what better than a toasted sandwich a
Fried sandwich where’s the toasted machine right back up all okay I love I love a toasted sandwich I me but I’m not doing that today so get with a program I’m tur I’m turning me back on them for you look man look at that body body language is
It it is yeah right what am I supposed to do I do just straddle Both Worlds is the old kung fu the bull that’s it it right so this is mayonnaise and Dijon uh this is you do know that I’ve got free stance don’t I know but you’re only
Going to have a nibble aren’t you you only live once not very long now this is look at me look at me so this is uh this is mayonnaise and Dijon mustard right so use that as your your kind of base and then uh two types of
Cheese I personally like these kind of these my dad was asked to get some cheese a few types of cheese he went out and he bought three types of cheddar divers that’s it though is it there is only chedd right ham hack that looks good so
This is based on a Monty Christa I don’t know if I’ve already said that uh and it’s finished it’s fried and then it’s it’s finished with honey oh just when it can’t get you anything does it twitch when you he Honey’s all right isn’t it Honey’s
It’s just a bit weird on a freight and you’re right it’s a fry not a toasty is it a Fritter FR it’s a bloody Fritter man I’ll tell you FR enough of my toasty fried sandwich uh let’s talk about G fishing so you done you putting in there uh
Girkins Bill pickles oh yeah um gone fishing yeah what do you want to know about it I to know everything two old men go fishing sometimes we catch fish s we don’t Bob Falls over lot Bob Falls over we do a sad bit you always get a
Doctor along we get a doctor along some random doctor turns out good what am I doing not a random doctor not a random doctor look like they wanded into the wrong sh look we managed to get that away through factual so we have to
Get so we have to do a little nods to some fact little industry joke but a bit of an industry joke yeah but it’s uh we’ got away with it so it’s in its six series you’re going to seven next year Well we hope so
We got a we do we got a Christmas special coming out as well um and of course Bob is Sir Bob mortima right you know is well it’s only a matter of time is it’s uh you know he’s a a kind of Master Chef isn’t he uh well maybe I did
See him um make an extraordinary Mash with a pack of crisps he did he he that look just like he did Riv River Bank Mash his other of course his his signatured this is trapped potatoes yeah yeah which basically just tinned potato trapped in trapped potatoes and tuna
Melanie which seems to involve doing some tuna and putting some marmalade on it but weirdly on the river he once made me a lamb kebab and he hadn’t washed his hands and he’d been performing some very very intimate inct with those with those hands but when you’re on the River Bank
Weirdly it always tastes great course because you’re always hungry I think so you’re outside in the cold country Air Country ways country ways where you going come back I feel so alone it’s not I mean for people who haven’t seen it it’s not it’s not just
About fishing is it no not at all really Countryside it’s your your friendship it’s it’s a kind of a leisurely it’s a really hard sell friendship but it is it’s really endearing you’re both self-deprecating uh I I think it’s unmissable I really do but what s age
Groups do you get kids well strangely yeah I mean I remember once Bob was uh he caught a chub and he was he was trying to get this fish in and he said uh Paul any young people watching this is exactly how you to you know fight the
Chub and I remember saying to him there are no young people watching this why would they watch two old men go fishing but apparently they do so kids love it yeah it’s quite weird that it does seem to appeal across the generations and and you say it’s not really about fishing
It’s kind of not much happens a lot of the time but it’s gentle and it just makes a change from from regular TV that’s quite kind of fast-paced and there has to be Jeopardy and it’s it’s totally the opposite of that isn’t it it’s like healing TV I think allows you
To think I think it’s a gen it’s because it comes from a very genuine place you know we didn’t sit down in a room and go how can we make this program it came out of real life and there is some Jeopardy in it but just because when I know what
You’re going to say no when I first went to the BBC approach some I said look you know you you do have the possibility of one of us or both of us dropping dead on the River Bank comedy gold boom yeah bang that it Jeopardy yeah
Jeopardy Jey and just when you think it can’t get any better you’ve brought a book out just before Christmas woo you what are you saying you you’re trying to make sound like a very cynical exercise it’s actually it’s actually a love letter to our rivers and it’s a kind of
Extension of G fishing in a way because John Bailey and I we’re the guys who who sort out the actual venues we go the beautiful places we go to the the species we’re going to fish for the tactics we use right and a lot of people
Who watch G fish used to fish when they were kids forgotten how to do it maybe want to get back into it or you know they see it and think that’s a an interesting thing to do I’d like to try it and so this is a kind of bridges that
Gap because it’s actually Bob said he tried to take his son’s fishing and he couldn’t set up the rod didn’t know how to do it so for for people like Bob I I think it’s beautiful I put it here and I love the the illustrations actually which are done by your daughter Carris
Yeah my oldest daughter yeah old vintage little ink drawings incredible detail my daughter’s called Lily so I’m very happy with that oh well there we are my daughter’s called Ten yeah well here you got for the Foodies yeah we gone for the Foodies as well she’s done beautiful Ma
And the bass there yeah extra they’re like those old Victorian you know diagram she’s clearly very talented and I was almost thinking I haven’t got a tattoo but I was thinking maybe you might a little yeah he’s got leaping have you have you leaping it’s a fishing
Expedition I got drunk going went back into Darlington T me fishing to well he went to DAR for I was born in D and all caught a trout went to a tattooist and I went fish and anyway I said I want the fly as well it was on a May
