Ted, canine star of Gone Fishing, dies
Ted, the Patterdale Terrier mix who starred on Mortimer and Whitehouse: Gone Fishing, has died at age 13, his official account announced with the message "Sad news about our little Ted 2013-2026." Ted first appeared on the show in Series 3 in 2020 and became a recurring on-screen companion and presence at related events. Co-stars Bob Mortimer and Paul Whitehouse paid tribute, and the show's team said existing footage will keep Ted in one episode of Series 9 later this year. His warm, comic presence helped define the program's relaxed tone, making his loss notable to viewers who valued the show's gentle style.
On this sad day, it feels appropriate to revisit one of the times Ted came in to the edit, to make sure I was using all his best shots. He WILL appear in one episode of #GoneFishing series 9 later this year. RIP little fella.

Ash Preston2Anyway Millard, here's Viko to cheer you up, pulling a very 'thanks for the biscuit... But any chance of another, eh?' face. And he did, the doe eyed little sod.
Ash Preston2If anybody asks you just say 'I've just seen they're rebooting The Upper Hand.' Ted was ace, a dog who literally looked like he use a pipe and drink mild, lovely wee fella.
