wow. paul heaton singing to bob unreal. my dad is 80 and his never really heard of these two until i made a point of of him watching them from the 1st series which we both watch together and ive never seen him laugh so much in my life,. my mum passed away 2 years ago near xmas so its still raw for us but to see him laugh is unreal , the faces bob pulls is unreal and whitehouse moaning all the time , its real old school comedy .my dad is now thier biggest fans from watching vic and bobs big night out to the fast show.... cheers guys.
The sheer amount of love that Bob has for Paul is so wonderful to see. This makes me cry every time because it is just so thoughtful. Two wonderful human beings. We need to see more male friendships like this on TV
So wonderful seeing Paul Heaton sing … his voice has not changed. Forever a favourite. Of course Bob and Paul are also total class. It was just a lovely surprise seeing a Housemartin pop up! Bravo and happy holidays!
How was this not all in the show?? It's Christmas, the News doesn't need to be half an hour. In fact the world might be a better place if the News was limited to ten minutes a day and the rest of the news slots were full of Gone Fishing! Or maybe this was all shown and I was already slumped in a calorie coma? Or maybe it's 3:45am and I'm dreaming this whole thing... in which case I don't want to wake up. Glorious!
This show is perfection - everyone involved should be exceptionally proud. From production, location, editing, directing, everyone deserves a well done. I love this show - it’s a complete one off and unique. Bob & Paul 👏🏼
Paul Heaton, absolute class act. Met him while he was recording at the EMI townhouse studios in the late 90’s. Used to come and watch the scores roll in with me on soccer Saturday. Absolute legend!
Me and my best friend both late 20’s.. talk daily about this programme and have bought tickets to see them in Lincoln this summer! Never have we ever seen a programme make you smile, cry, laugh and think so much whilst being so peaceful! To top the whole thing off the award ceremony was filmed at the Waterloo social club in blyth, right around the corner from where we live.. when we seen they had filmed there during watching the Christmas episode we both could have cried! Unbelievable Paul and Bob will live forever!
I love this episode.❤ This show is so full of love without any disturbances of mobile phones, social media, news and all that negativity. So tranquil and great for the soul. Two brilliant comedians fishing in the country. That’s all we need.
Bob / paul I’ve enjoyed your series so much I’m not a fisherman but the humour the both off you give is tremendous you simply feed off each other hope you continue to work together
Seen Paul Heaton & Jackie abbot twice in delemere forest !!! (Last time Billy Bragg support) !!! So much undervalued singer/song writer !!!!! And Bob /whitehouse gone fishing is again the most under valued program on tele !! In these times !!! To watch the pair of you enjoying the one sport I hate !!😂😂 but bringing the true meaning of friendship into the fore !! Wow please let there be another series but if not I’m off to buy a rod and ring a few people who I should have spoken to sooner!!! Love it !!!
I am not sure why the term Underrated / valued is ever used to describe Paul And Jacqui. They are absolute Gods. I get the feeling they dont really care about being classed as " so called Superstars "
Absolutely top draw. Best program on TV all Christmas. Could watch these two for hours, really laid back and chilled. The humour and chemistry between them is brilliant. Long may they continue.
Should release the song with Paul and bob singing as well giving all the profits to the heart foundation . But most of all bring on the next season absolutely brilliant to watch.
this. just this. I mean, come ON!! Loved BM & PW forever and only just discovered their fishing adventures...., add in Paul & Jacqui. ... oooft. i need a sit down
Not into fishing at all but love the show, so easy to watch, they come across as good guys comfortable with themselves, the best thing the BBC has done in a long time.
Comedy, pathos, love and friendship and beautiful surroundings- so heartwarming. I love your show and not for the fishing. something about what it is to be a grown up, sensible and mortal and yet still retain something of the joy of childhood. Thanks to all connected with the show!
I was so looking forward to this Christmas special and I wasn’t disappointed. Bob and Paul are absolutely brilliant and I just wish they made future series quicker than they do. Both true gents and British treasures. Its lovely to see a genuine friendship and how much they mean to each other but mostly who knew I could ever find a programme with fishing in interesting 😂😂. Also a bonus to have Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott singing on this episode. I loved the Housemartins and Beautiful South and Paul’s voice has remained brilliant over the years.
Just finished watching the fabulous Christmas episode. Bless Mr G. Gosh I'm 5 yrs older than Paul but hope don't look it lol x BoB...you are the emotional Christmas/ thoughtful pressie buyer ever. Lots of heart healthy love to you both xkx
Just superb, fantastic show, some sublime moments, like Paul Heaton & Gazza showing up & lots of laughs all the way through, keep doing what you're doing boys!
Paul’s face is just pure joy when he hears his part of the song.
This series has been helping me come out of a deep alcoholic depression, and now I'm just crying in joy to this. Thank you everyone involved
Wishing you all the best in recovery!
Good luck to you!
5 months later, how's things mate?

Love your message Ian. God bless you and your family
Top comment.Great to hear of your Dad's enjoyment.Condolences on your loss.Peace
quite a few national treasures in one place at the same time
Two blokes (and a dog) going fishing was the best thing on TV this Christmas
The Paul Heston documentary is a really good watch. The man is an underrated musical genius.
So underrated you can't even spell his name.
The sheer amount of love that Bob has for Paul is so wonderful to see. This makes me cry every time because it is just so thoughtful. Two wonderful human beings. We need to see more male friendships like this on TV
I could watch the pair of them for hours. Bob really knows how to make us laugh one minute and cry the next.
Best show the beeb has done in years.
Totally agree and I'm not bothered about fishing
Paul Whitehouse, writer, comedian,
fisherman, composer of the arts.
On his gravestone alas their were only three words,
STOP WINDING BOB.
Mind the Rod
That’s bloody brilliant……made laugh out loud ……Thankyou 👍😂😂😂
Worth every penny of the tv licence. Best program on this Xmas
I will second that I just didn't want it to end
Bob does so many things for Paul.... its amazing....
what a great combination Paul Heaton Jackie and Bob & Paul love them all! made me smile xx
I think these 2 guys have done more for awareness of men's' mental health than than they ever imagined. Two guys just fishing and chatting
The swan and mayfly line hit me there, beautiful
Bob Mortimer is without doubt the funniest man on TV. Can’t wait to start reading his book!
I really enjoyed watching that Christmas special last night it made me cry when Bob got you that record of your mum singing😪
brought me to tears too, recovering from surgery and feeling down. They've helped me through the whole process. Bless. Xx
Beautiful Beautiful
That’s why they call them self Beautiful South xxxx🙏
Lol, WAS IN BITS BLUBBERING LAST NITE, NOW IM IN FLIPPIN TEARS AGAIN!!!! FFS!! WAS AWESOME!!
The house martins Paul and Bob 😳. Brilliant 🤗🤗🤗
So wonderful seeing Paul Heaton sing … his voice has not changed. Forever a favourite.
Of course Bob and Paul are also total class. It was just a lovely surprise seeing a Housemartin pop up!
Bravo and happy holidays!
No doubt about it - the highlight of 2021 Christmas, wonderful! .......... and awaaaayyy!
Long may you both keep making these shows together because I for one love them
Can’t believe the BBC make a programme I absolutely love
Brilliant series in this episode when bob gave paul an lp of his mother singing was v touching. More of this bbc.

Bob does it again! Another Christmas surprise for Paul! Beautiful 💜😊🎄
THE MOST UNDERRATED SINGER IN BRITISH POP MUSIC.
Simple, as a man of a certain age! It was, a special moment ❤

Love this song played it again and again 😍❤️
Paul Heaton is an institution and needs to be in the hall of famer!
Christmas special was brilliant. Who ever thought vinegar in the eyes was a good idea. Thanks lads loved it.
I saw this on twitter earlier! Love it so much 🥰 Paul's little face 😭 Pleeease do another series, I need Paul & Bob in my life!!!
Absolutely top draw. Best program on TV all Christmas. Could watch these two for hours, really laid back and chilled. The humour and chemistry between them is brilliant. Long may they continue.
Christmas wouldn’t be the same now if Paul and bob didn’t do a Christmas special .
Utterly joyous, in every respect x
Should release the song with Paul and bob singing as well giving all the profits to the heart foundation . But most of all bring on the next season absolutely brilliant to watch.
My favourite tv show and favourite singer. Pure bliss
Pure magic . Thank you all 👍👍

I cry every time I watch an episode and I’ve watched the whole lot of series’s a few times now
Thank you

I remember watching the first season whilst recovering from a heart attack. Made me laugh.
Best tv show made in decades, I could watch Paul and Bob for days . They are brilliant. Thank you 🙏

Bob and Paul,,,2 living legends,,,👍👍
As Paul might have said: Brilliant! Three of my favourites all together - two Pauls and a Bob. Cheers guys.
