Bob Mortimer Saddened by Death of Gone Fishing Dog Ted
The Patterdale Terrier mix was a fan favorite on the BBC fishing series and will make one final appearance in series 9.
- Patterdale Terrier Ted, the beloved canine star of BBC's 'Mortimer and Whitehouse: Gone Fishing,' has died. Executive Producer Lisa Clark confirmed the passing of the dog, who became a fan favorite alongside comedians Bob Mortimer and Paul Whitehouse.
- Rescued from a Surrey dog home in the Spring of 2013 at six months old, Ted joined the series in 2020. He quickly became integral to the show, famously reacting to events with a gruff 'voice' provided by Mortimer.
- Ted received a Lifetime Achievement Award during the 2025 Christmas special in Cornwall, often beating Whitehouse for show accolades. He was credited as author of two best-selling books, 'A Pawtobiography' and 'Pup Fiction,' with a third due later this year.
- Comedian Bob Mortimer called Ted 'the best companion,' while Whitehouse added, 'He wasn't a dog, he was a species all of his own.' Both expressed deep sadness at losing their friend.
- Ted will make his final television appearance during the upcoming ninth series of the show. Clark noted he is survived at home by Bo the Briard.
