River Tees, County Durham - Trout
Paul and Bob travel to the upper Tees, where Bob shares some very special childhood memories. They are joined by old friend Reece Shearsmith, who tells them spooky tales about the river.
Bob and Paul are in County Durham, fishing the River Tees for a rare species of wild brown trout.
They navigate the area through the lens of a six-year-old Bob as he takes Paul on a trip along the landscapes of his youth. Bob lost his dad when he was very young, but some of the memories he holds dear to him are of the fishing trips they used to go on.
Later, Bob invites their old friend Reece Shearsmith to dinner, who has some particularly spooky local tales to tell them about the River Tees.
