  • 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
  • Trademarks
      Sour expression and grouchy demeanour
