Listen "Paul Whitehouse on Dodgy Hearts and Dodgier Fishing with Bob Mortimer"
Episode Synopsis
Fast Show comedian Paul Whitehouse joins Dr Oscar Duke to share the personal healing journey behind his hit BBC series, Gone Fishing, with Bob Mortimer. Paul recalls how a sudden hospital visit for an abscess led to a life-threatening operation where part of his colon had to be removed. It was during his recovery that hidden heart issues surfaced. When his close friend Bob Mortimer faced similar urgent heart surgery, the pair made a pact: regain strength and wellbeing by embracing the great outdoors, wandering idyllic chalk streams—and occasionally trying, but mostly failing, to catch fish. Consultant cardiologist Dr. Oliver Segal from HCA Healthcare UK also joins the conversation, shedding light on coronary artery disease, how lifestyle choices impact heart health, and the latest breakthroughs in cardiac care.
