Bob Mortimer and Paul Whitehouse have paid tribute to Ted, the dog who accompanied them on 'Gone Fishing,' after his death was announced. Whitehouse said: 'Bye bye Ted old friend. He wasn’t a dog, he was a species all of his own. He’s gone to the great briefcase emporium in the sky. We will really miss you mate.' And Mortimer added: 'So very, very sad. Lovely Ted, the best companion and the greatest little chum. Going to miss him so much.. and away boss.' Rescued from a dog's home in Surrey in 2013, Ted was a Patterdale Terrier mix, around 13 years old. He lived with Lisa Clark, the programme's executive producer. She said: 'Ted was a much-loved family pet as well as a treasured companion to Paul and Bob on Gone Fishing. He took fame in his little stride and loved nothing better than messing around on the riverbanks, nicking jammy dodgers from Bob and bait from Paul. He will be sorely missed both at home and on screen. We'll never forget him. He is survived at home by Bo the Briard.'
