How to use a VPN to watch Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing season 7 from anywhere
Cosy season has well and truly arrived at the BBC. Not only is Strictly back, but Mortimer and Whitehouse have made their return. Ostensibly a show about two blokes fishing, it’s as much an angling show as Ted Lasso is a football one. Sure, casting a line is the reason the pair head out around the country but what makes the show so appealing is the banter between them, the easy conversation that ranges from anecdotes about their days in 90s comedy to their struggles with the loss of parents.
The duo display an openness that is all too rare in male friendships of their generation, perhaps due to their long standing friendship, or the vulnerability that comes with being a comedian.
Spawned from trips the pair shared as Whitehouse encouraged Mortimer to leave the house more following the latter’s heart attack (something the former had experienced a few years earlier), the show features some of the stunning waterside locations and quaint little villages that the UK has to offer.
The latest episode saw the pair head to Ireland, fishing the rivers of both RoI and NI. Hoping to catch salmon, a miscommunication resulted in disaster for the pair, though a cosy night in Mick Hucknall's fishing cottage soon got things back on track.

Normally a streaming service will know where you are trying to tune in from and block you if you're not in the right country but a Virtual Private Network (VPN) is an app that hides your location. That means you can access your usual sports and entertainment services even while you're traveling abroad.
