PRODUCT INFORMATION
Summary
Ted, Bob and Paul's canine co-star on Gone Fishing, is putting paw to paper for the first time to reveal how he rose from humble beginnings to become a fan favourite on the hit BBC2 show.
Description
Speaking toothfully
Ted is putting paw to paper because he needs his voice to be heard. He loves Bob and Paul but, as 2m viewers of Gone Fishing will know, they put words in his mouth without knowing what goes on inside his head. Spoiler alert: Ted's view, supported by behind-the-scenes evidence, is that his co-stars are actually 'a pair of complete muppets'.
But first he tells you how life started for him. A skinny unwanted runt, abandoned outside a rescue centre in the freezing cold on Boxing Day, over a decade ago.
One of Ted's favourite television programmes is SAS: Who Dares Wins and, just like his hero Billy Billingham, he has developed the skills to adapt, survive and win.
This is the memoir of a truly remarkable mutt.

About the Author
Ted has co-starred in BBC2’s Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing since Series 3 and is now an integral part of the popular show, keeping Bob and Paul on their toes. He is mostly Patterdale Terrier – although a DNA test revealed some surprising results. He is 12 years old and lives in Surrey but travels a lot with his fishing work. This is his first book.
Ted’s trusted co-author Lisa Clark has been producing entertainment and comedy shows for over 30 years – from The Big Breakfast and Don’t Forget Your Toothbrush, to Shooting Stars, Vic & Bob’s House of Fools and Mortimer and Whitehouse: Gone Fishing since it began in 2018. Lisa lives with Ted, a Briard called Bo, her current husband, Dan, and occasionally her sons, Jon-Joe and Archie.
