Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing by

5.0

I never thought I'd see the day when I would whole-heartedly recommend an audiobook over an actual, real, phsyical book, but here I am.

Though, to be honest, this is more of a podcast than an audiobook. There is a little "reading out", but it is so much more. They even go fishing in the audiobook and the noises you hear are so different to what you hear on the television programme: you can hear the reeling, the fight of the fish, the trickling of the water, the blackbirds singing... It's the perfect bridge from the television programme to the book, and it sits in between them so perfectly.

I can't think of many things better than listening to my favourite old white men babbling on about anything and everything, and being genuinely funny and charming. It's such a lovely listen, though I would be wary of calling it a proper audiobook. It is an audiobook full of pure joy.
