Ted, the popular canine star of the BBC series 'Gone Fishing', has passed away at the age of 13. The Patterdale Terrier mix charmed viewers for six years with his on-screen antics and endearing personality.
The beloved terrier Ted , star of the BBC series ' Gone Fishing ' alongside Bob Mortimer and Paul Whitehouse , has sadly passed away at the age of 13.
For six years, Ted charmed audiences with his on-screen presence during the comedians' fishing adventures across the UK. Originally owned by the show's executive producer, Lisa Clark, Ted first appeared in 2020 and quickly became a fan favorite, culminating in a Lifetime Achievement Award during the 2025 Christmas Special. His popularity stemmed from a delightful blend of real-life canine antics and a cleverly crafted fictional backstory.
The show's creators developed a humorous narrative around Ted, portraying him as a former explosives expert perpetually searching for a missing briefcase. This running gag, alongside his penchant for stealing snacks from Bob and Paul’s picnics, provided countless comedic moments.
The story expanded over several seasons, revealing Ted’s adoption from a Surrey shelter at six months old and fueling the mystery of the briefcase and a daring rescue mission hinted at in his accompanying book, 'Pup Fiction: An Epic Journey with Gone Fishing'. Beyond the fictional elements, Ted’s genuine personality shone through in memorable scenes, such as a playful comparison of teeth with Bob Mortimer, where Bob joked about swapping jaws to achieve dental perfection.
Ted’s presence wasn’t limited to narrative gags; he frequently found himself hilariously interfering with the fishing equipment, narrowly avoiding mishaps with rods and reels. Episodes often featured the comedians playfully interacting with Ted, even giving him a ‘voice’ and imagining his thoughts. His passing marks the end of an era for 'Gone Fishing' and leaves a void in the hearts of many viewers who grew to adore the four-legged star.
From his humble beginnings at a dog shelter to his on-screen birthday celebrations and the ongoing saga of the missing briefcase, Ted’s journey was a testament to the joy and companionship animals bring to our lives. He will be fondly remembered as more than just a dog on a fishing show; he was a cherished member of the 'Gone Fishing' family and a true television icon
