Chris tarrant goes fishing

[Hill loch gold]

On channel 5 the now. Hadn't seen or heard of this programme before, just noticed it there when i was flicking through the channels

Just caught the very end of it.       Ah well, always next week I suppose.

one of the nicest fishing programmes i've seen in a long time. i really liked the balance between the fishing action and the conversation and i thought the pace of the whole thing was great. admittedly the maldives is a very special and exclusive place, but there was nothing pretentious or gung-ho about it, which is a rarity in itself. almost subliminally, the music was pretty cool, too. don't miss it next time folks!

Tend to agree Dave i thoroughly enjoyed it, nice relaxed program with a huge variety of fish being caught, Let me go put that extra Lotto  ticket on the morra  :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Series link set, I saw him on the Ian Botham fishing show and he came over well (Tarrant that is!)

[tomcatin]

I saw about twenty minutes of this and got a little bored; more to do with the subject matter (fishing in the Maldives  :roll:) .......... the style, presentation and Chris Tarrent is really quite good (beats John Wilson by a million miles)

I think the next weeks episode is set in Ireland; so hopefully something of a subject matter closer to my heart!

Bottom line: He pissed all over Robson Green!

[Hill loch gold]

I know he likes salmon fishing. Hopefully there will be an episode where he's fishing for them.

[aliferste]

He is on the Tweed quite a bit!

[Inchlaggan]

Aye, he's been about here a few times as well, not with a film crew as far as I know.
Comes across as a pretty balanced guy, nae shit. In the boat he'll tell a few tales of life on telly, mostly against himself, but not gossip. Prefers to concentrate on the fishing. Buys his round and leaves a good tip.
Does some serious name-dropping though, when I picked him up on that he took it well. He explained if he had told a (fishing) tale about fishing with his pal Ian and Ian cocking it up grand style it would mean nothing to me, add the surname "Botham" and it makes sense. But he insisted that where he got good service and fishing, all the names that he had "dropped" would learn of it.
