RESIDENTS involved in Bob Mortimer and Paul Whitehouse s tour of Teesside and North Yorkshire for the Christmas episode of their show Gone Fishing say it is a great boost . The Transporter Bridge, popular pub The Crathorne Arms and picturesque harbourside town Staithes made an appearance alongside the comedy duo, who also visited Middlesbrough-born Mr Mortimer s childhood home, in a Christmas special of their show which aired on Sunday night. They stayed in fishermen’s cottages in Staithes and went on a boat into the North Sea before heading just east of Osmotherley where they stayed in Chequers Holiday Cottage. Emma McDonald, who owns Chequers, said: I was just scrolling through my email and saw something from the BBC. I read it and read it again wondering if it was real.
