As narrated by Ted the dog

BBC Two has released a first look trailer for the eighth series of Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing. 
 
The 20 second clip features a compilation of upcoming Paul and Bob moments from the series ‘voiced' by the series' beloved dog, Ted.
 
Ted, sounding suspiciously like his human, Paul, can be heard commenting: 'Two muppets talking absolute carp again'

Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing starts on Sunday October 26 at 9pm on BBC Two and iPlayer and will feature locations chosen by its relevance to the comics personally.

Whitehouse said: 'The thrust of this series is that we go to places that we've either fished before or resonate with us from our past or mean a lot, and, and so I think there's maybe an extra level of poignancy to this series, it’s a little bit more heartfelt.'
 
Mortimer added:  'We wanted to be free to pick the places we’ve always wanted to go and places which, sort of, personally meant something to us. So, it's just a slightly different approach, you know, rather than just focusing on species of fish.'
