Personal
Quotes
"I am sorry to say you won't be getting any
of that extreme angling action on my fishing show.
What you will see is two guys sitting in a wooden
boat haphazardly casting while bitching and moaning
about the deteriorating state of the world. So
it's a topical show, but really, really picturesque"
- promoting his new fishing show on BBC4
"In
reality making a fishing series is like filming
a porn movie. With fishing, you are lucky if you
catch something and in porn you are lucky if you
don't, but both are tedious, crusty, sticky and
stinky. Also it's mostly faked" - promoting
his new fishing show on BBC4
"It's
doubtful if I will meet anyone who sees this show.
BBC Four is what's called a low frequency digital
satellite-only channel. The commissioning editors
work out of the boot of their car and the target
audience - determined by test screenings - is
guys my age who are me" - promoting his new
fishing show on BBC4
