THE MONSAL VALLEY filming locations used in the classic third series Survivors<\/em> story <\/strong>Mad Dog featured in an episode of <\/strong>Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing shown on BBC Two earlier this month.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The BBC’s cameras (at both ground and drone level) took in shots of the valley floor, the valley’s bridges, the viaduct, the weir and (of course, given the subject matter) the river Wye as it meanders its way through the valley.<\/p>\n

The series shows the efforts of comedians Bob Mortimer and Paul Whitehouse to fish in a variety of locations (with Whitehouse as the expert and Mortimer as his apprentice). With both of them having to adjust their lives after recovering from major heart surgery, the pair spend as much time joking, teasing one another and reflecting on their lot as they do attempting to catch-and-release fish. <\/p>\n

Episode three “Rainbow Trout – Derbyshire Wye” was first shown on BBC Two at 22:00 on 4 July 2018, and will be available on the BBC’s iPlayer<\/a> (for viewers in the UK) for thirty days following transmission. <\/p>\n

A fully-illustrated guide to all of the Monsal Valley filming locations used in Survivors<\/em> can be found on the Survivors<\/em>: Mad Dog<\/strong><\/a> site.<\/p>\n
