Although I don't think he'll ever actually die, more just be subsumed into nature, with his voice becoming a ghostly commentary of some idyllic dew pond of the west.

Smokersmith Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 As I said to Mrs S … These folks. … banging on about how much they’re enjoying it… Paul and Bob … don’t need to ever say that, as it’s blindingly obvious they’re loving it … Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 (edited) The scenery in the intro looked stunning. As the "stars" ambled down to the beach, I feared the worst. Badly filmed, badly directed, badly edited and amateurish. A genuine shame - a missed opportunity. Edited July 23, 2021 by Gordon R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougy Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 Just watch it, its not really about fishing, more about showing how little some of these celebs actually know anything outside of their scripted lives. Talking of scripts, its notably un natural conversations are just annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnfromUK Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 I was looking forward to the programme; I enjoy fishing (though I'm not very good at it and only get to do it occasionally!) and I love Scotland (where I do the little fishing I get to do) and just being by a river or loch in the wonderful Scottish scenery is heaven to me. I switched off half way through. I can't list what was wrong - just - well virtually everything! I enjoy Paul and Bob, loved the old Geoffrey Palmer/Rae Borras fishing series based on Isaac Walton - but this - absolute rubbish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokersmith Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 Robson and his buddy certainly lack any sort of like-ability …. but the scenery, locations and some of the fish make it worth watching for me. Remember they only had 3 weeks ….. !!! ***!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oscarsdad Posted July 30, 2021 Report Share Posted July 30, 2021 The programme should be an embarrassment to Beefy. Ghillies who probably know about game fishing but without the first clue about pike, not using traces until bitten off so there were two lures at least left in pike. it paints fishing in a really bad light in my view.
