Paul Whitehouse and Lee Mack on ‘Gone Fishing’ Mortimer had a triple heart bypass operation in 2015 after he was diagnosed with coronary heart disease. “It’s hard to explain the curious alchemy of Gone Fishing, which is rarely laugh-out-loud funny but has a soothing, unforced pace that draws you in,” Cummings wrote previously. “The production helps, using plenty of drone shots to show the country’s rivers in stately majesty, but the programme relies on the performances of its leads, two of our most gifted comic performers.” Watch Apple TV+ free for 7 days New subscribers only.
