Watching the Xmas #GoneFishing special with #BobMortimer & #PaulWhitehouse, just such a sweet and wholesome show. Also fish 🐟

Finished my stocking filler book of Bob Mortimer's autobiography. A very humble man, thankful to all those in his life who pushed him ever onward. And got me cackling at a few moments too.

What a surprise Bob Mortimer is. Plenty of belly laughs, but far more in terms of reflection, seriousness and honesty about men's health. I loved this autobiography, and am glad that it defied my expectations.

Then maybe a film this evening.

I've just started reading Bob Mortimer's The Satsuma Complex, and I'm delighted to see that he's written a line that I have also used for a comedy script in 2009-2010.

Fortunately I don't have to sue because he's used it in a completely different context to me. Also, if a line is good enough for Bob Mortimer, it gives me hope my own writing is at least vaguely competent.

(And just in case - I'm genuinely not serious about taking legal action)
