Love it when Bob and Paul talk about their parents, with both love and respect. Neither are afraid to be open about their feelings. And of course they are just so natually funny, which makes them a joy to watch.❤❤
Paul your mother had an incredible voice. I had no idea that your mother was an opera singer you must be so proud of her but you kept it to yourself until now.
This is beautiful and inspired me to write a little story for the social workers I work with. I'm a therapist and loved this metaphor so forgive me Bob and Paul, I borrowed it, whilst still paying tribute to you both and your wonderful programme. The story I wrote was indeed "What's your tomato?" and what gives you the reason to keep going (particularly through the pandemic and working in children's services). The replies I got were absolutely heart warming and probably enough to write a little feel good hand book. Everyone loved thinking about their own story whilst holding in mind some of the difficult circumstances some families and children we work with, that may not have a "tomato" in any way, shape or form. For me, Bob, Paul and this wonderful programme, which allows me time out and escapism from my world - is a tomato in itself. Thank you and warmest wishes to you both x
The three tomatoes. What can you say? Turned the sequence from being a delicate subject into something very profound and for me it was the best bit of the whole series. Magic.
Bob said, "That's my tomato," & I thought, "What a beautiful little show." Then the operatic voice came in with the drone shot, & I thought, "An astonishingly beautiful little show." Then the subtitle 'Anita Whitehouse' appeared, & I thought, "A perfect little show."
I always wonder if the waiters that serve me when I go out are Bob and often give them a thorough looking over when talking to them and I shout 'Bob' when they walk away to see if it catches him out.
I love to tell people I've met Bob a few times ....I think he lives in Ashford train station ... I look as ruff as fu** but still he stood and spoke to me on a number of occasions ... Whata gentleman he is too
I love your videos and the Christmas "Gone Fishing" was the absolute highlight of the Christmas TV schedule but this video is the best one you've ever made. Bob's Mam with the tomatoes in her life and Paul's Mam and her beautiful voice and just the way you both talked about them was so lovely.

I reckon that fans of the show will all now be asking themselves 'what is my tomato?'. I'm hoping that one day I'll mention my tomato to someone, and they will give me a knowing smile as they share theirs.
One of my tomatoes 🍅 is watching you two 🙏. Incidentally, my late mother’s name was Anita and she had an incredible voice, maybe not opera standard but nevertheless she loved to sing hymns along with her sisters. Old days, but happy memories. Thanks for keeping everyone inspired.
The ending gave me loose bumps, best program on tele, and highlights so many other things too like not getting animals for Christmas presents. Also, never thought of a heart healthy tier on a afternoon tea!
I love your programme Gone Fishing. Especially the beautiful scenery and the comaradery between Paul and Bob.Having been born in Port Clarence I feel a connection with Bob particularly, although I am from a much earlier generation. The banter between the two of them and their humour really appeals to me much more than today’s stand up comedians who I don’t find funny at all.
Well they help me get out of bed everyday of the week , i have heart problems, 😅so I can relate, mortality when it hits you square in the face is more than a cuppa tea or a session makeover...for expletive sakes
Can we try to get 'What's your tomato?' Into common useage? Imagine saying 'My tomato is....', and a complete stranger knows what you are talking about? That would be magical.
@@danjames4086 My dog use to be that. He had to be euthanized, due to nasal cancer, on the second day into a lock down here in New Zealand last year. It nearly killed me to be honest!. Conservation, astronomy, cosmology, sundials, comedy, friends and family are my tomatoes.
@@kingy002Conversation...that's really interesting. A nice conversation is undervalued. I think this is why Bob and Paul are so popular; they talk about nonsense sometimes, other times it's about things that we all share...childhood, parents etc. And here we are, through a shared pleasure and the wonders of the internet, having a nice conversation about our dogs. I'm sorry to hear about you dog;.losing them is a horrible thing. I grew up around dogs, but as an adult refused to get one for many years. I said it was because we worked a lot, but in truth I was probably just avoiding that heartache that is inevitable. However my daft little pooch has reminded me that going for a walk or messing around in the woods is just the best way to relax, and should be enjoyed while you have the chance. I don't know whether he thinks he's human, or I'm starting to think like a dog! Haven't started sniffing lamposts yet though....
My bike is my tomato. I ride everyday it's possible to do so, and it drives me mad if I can't because of a mechanical issue that I can't fix or extreme weather. Like today. Damn I want to ride my tomato!
I've just finished Bob's autobiography 'And Away'. On page 298, it says that Sunset Strip was "under teen feet of floodwater". I can't work out whether the proofreader was distracted by a particularly self-satisfied chaffinch on the windowsill, or if Bob wasn't sure of the exact level of Sunset Strip's submersion, but knew that it was more than 12 feet, and less than 20.
Wtf are you talking about? It’s far from the only thing he talks about but the whole genesis of this show was due to Paul getting Bob outside following his fears after surgery. The whole point of the show is for them to talk about their health issues and ongoing mental wellness implications of major surgery and staying well. It’s very generous of him to share so much of himself as this is will be so valuable to people watching who have gone through the same. At no point has be intimated that he’s the only person who has had this experience. But he has a platform and he’s using it kindly, wisely and sensitively. What an ass you are.

I can honestly say, for all the sheer joy and happiness he’s brought me in the face of chronic anxiety - Bob is my tomato.❤️ 🍅
Paul your mother had an incredible voice. I had no idea that your mother was an opera singer you must be so proud of her but you kept it to yourself until now.
What an amazing voice Paul’s mum had. Wow just wow, so emotional to have it playing at the end with the scenery! Bendigedig

it's good we have nice people like you

Gone fishing is simply one of the most beautiful and endearing tv programmes I have ever watched,.
The boys have great chemistry. There an all round class act. And what about Paul's mum. What a talent. Nothing like a bit of opera.
Stunning to find that isn't it ?
If Bob had said "You're my tomato, Paul" I swear I'd burst into tears 🥲
Imagine having a Mum who could sing like that ! ❤️

One of the best things ever put on telly. Without question. ❤❤
I was shook when the waiter revealed himself to be Bob !! He's a human chameleon.
I always wonder if the waiters that serve me when I go out are Bob and often give them a thorough looking over when talking to them and I shout 'Bob' when they walk away to see if it catches him out.

Great to find this clip. Remembered it from the later ones where Paul talks about his Mum singing
Paul's mum had a beautiful voice .💞Loved the Xmas episode guys 👍
Paul's mother has the voice of an angel..... Beautiful.
Aww, you're lovely mum Paul!❤️🏴
Did you see the Christmas special when Bob got him a vinyl record of his mam singing. It was really emotional.
My tomato is my new appreciation quote to my hubby and kids. Thank you lads Xx ❤
when bob and paul talk about their parents i always get emotional
What a nice touch to have Paul’s mum on singing opera.
Aww, ,your wonderful mum paul , what a beautiful voice may God bless her , well done both of you
A remarkable voice!
I could watch these two all day!
Aw the singing was lovely , i choked a little . I love u guys x
“Are you on your own, Sir? You look like the sort that would be.”
😆😄
Love the banter & such marvellous friendship, thanks for sharing this with us 👏👏
PS what a wonderful singer your Mum was 🙏🤗

Just pure joy comes from these excerpts..... that's my tomato . 🍅
This program and series is a complete masterpiece. inc the music and photography. love it
What an amazing voice Paul's mom had
Wow! 😮 Paul's mum! Talented.
“She was me father and my mother” That’s my mum now dads passed. Love this show it’s always uplifting.
Well done guys - you’ve inspired me to find my own tomato. Or maybe a potato.
I can highly recommend the parsnip
I reckon that fans of the show will all now be asking themselves 'what is my tomato?'.
I'm hoping that one day I'll mention my tomato to someone, and they will give me a knowing smile as they share theirs.
Love you guys fishing ! Great to see a positive spin by the way! Thanks for sharing!
One of my tomatoes 🍅 is watching you two 🙏. Incidentally, my late mother’s name was Anita and she had an incredible voice, maybe not opera standard but nevertheless she loved to sing hymns along with her sisters. Old days, but happy memories. Thanks for keeping everyone inspired.
There is something profound in this seeming slightness, it's the depth of appreciation of being in the endgame
The ending gave me loose bumps, best program on tele, and highlights so many other things too like not getting animals for Christmas presents. Also, never thought of a heart healthy tier on a afternoon tea!
Outstanding, exquisite, emotional joy of a series.
Hearing Paul's mum was special.
Wow, Paul, is Anita your mother? Beautiful voice, ‘golden’ indeed. Would love to hear more. X
Before you pass Bob, I have to say we all love your humour.
I love your programme Gone Fishing.

Some people get to live the dream , I'm so jealous of these cad's
"speshamin bass" 🤣they forever make me laugh! don't they go to the nicest places though!
Oh suits you sir, suits you!
How great are these guys? 😘
Love these two guys.
Wonderful interaction gentlemen. Quite touching
Bob, using his camouflage and disguise skills he learnt in the SAS, l had to look twice to even see there was someone there. Cunning.
What a voice 👏
Bring on the pub singer.. tea in a china cup, ooh lovely
Love these two
Lovely.
Sweet!
Bob “ you say tamatoe I say tomatoes 🍅🍅🍅 “. Lovely story, and Paul your mother’s voice “ wow “ beautiful “ beautiful said with a Welsh accent butt.
I was waiting for The Chocolatier to make his entrance
I think I have something in my eye..again!
Absolutely brilliant 👏👏👏
Wow that’s enough to make anyone tear up
Utterly perfect
Well they help me get out of bed everyday of the week , i have heart problems, 😅so I can relate, mortality when it hits you square in the face is more than a cuppa tea or a session makeover...for expletive sakes
Brilliant
Loved the twelve string work
IL have to finish watching this later coz the Mrs is due home and I'm supposed to be working 😂
Christmas tv would have been complete s**t without these 2, Bob and Paul saved Christmas…TV
Sitting enjoying the hell out of this when i suddenly realised to my dismay im old af. 😳😭🤣
"Can I have a tomato now, Tom?" makes a lot more sense.
lovely bit of 12 string intro...
Lovely piece of television
A beautiful voice
good stuff!
What a voice! How did an amazing woman like that end up... :D
What a voice, are there more recordings of Anita Whitehouse?
Yes. Bob gives Paul an LP of hers in one program. Very thoughtful
Speshamin..
We're a couple of old ladies now. These two just work.
You should never stop at a tomato, you should go the whole salad, as you make your way through the mayonnaise of life.😳-and ketchup later😩
Can we try to get 'What's your tomato?' Into common useage?
Imagine saying 'My tomato is....', and a complete stranger knows what you are talking about? That would be magical.
What’s your tomato, Dan?
@@janemorrow6672 Oohh...let's think. My tomato is my family and the excitement of my silly little dog in a morning. Simple pleasures. And yours Jane?
@@danjames4086 I think I’d have to agree with you there. My family and my dogs. 🙂

Veg is my tomato 🍅. Some of the time

Oh the feathers I spat were still attached to the duck at seeing the scones being done the wrong cornish way.
👍❤❤❤
How many sugars in your tea Bob ? 😉
She could really sing.
Two cubes or three, Bob?
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I need to find my tomato again
My dog is my tomato
❤️
👍💜👍💜
😊😊😊
Love love love love love. [Rest of post deleted by me cos it's too fucking negative. Mental health shit].
3:20 and getting paid by the BBC for doing what they love
:-)
I’m going to disappointed if I don’t see Bob rip a tomato in half in this video…
I've just finished Bob's autobiography 'And Away'.
On page 298, it says that Sunset Strip was "under teen feet of floodwater".

Next week , Harry and Vic , its just not as funny .
Sorry Paul cannot subscribe.
Bob Mortimer is a pain in the bum. He's not the only person who had open heart surgery but he acts as if he was.
Wtf are you talking about?
It’s far from the only thing he talks about but the whole genesis of this show was due to Paul getting Bob outside following his fears after surgery.
The whole point of the show is for them to talk about their health issues and ongoing mental wellness implications of major surgery and staying well.
It’s very generous of him to share so much of himself as this is will be so valuable to people watching who have gone through the same.
At no point has be intimated that he’s the only person who has had this experience. But he has a platform and he’s using it kindly, wisely and sensitively.
What an ass you are.
Why not do something that brings you joy instead of watching this, which you obviously find annoying? Life is short, mate. Get happy.
