Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Christmas Fishing
10pm, BBC Two
The year’s best slow-burn series returns for a festive special, seeing novice angler Bob Mortimer take his erstwhile companion Paul Whitehouse to his childhood home of Middlesbrough to try their hand at casting in the River Esk. Bob stirs up some Christmas cheer in Paul with a haphazard turkey dinner, followed by a trip to the harbour village of Staithes and a chat with fellow Middlesbrough native Chris Rea, who details his travel plans for getting home on the 25th.
