It’s the first episode of Outsiding and we have found the perfect
guest to welcome into our garden. Bob Mortimer is an adored
comedian, presenter, writer and actor, who loves the outdoors with
the same passion as he does big TVs. Bob joins Caitlin and
Adam to chat about the paperback release of his third novel, The
Long Shoe, a book that, as we find out, has plenty of Bob’s charm
and personality within it. But, before that, Bob gets a tour of
Caitlin’s new garden plot and is invited to christen the project
ahead of its upcoming transformation. Then, over pocket meats
and pies we journey through Bob’s love of life outdoors from
walking and gardening to spending time with Paul Whitehouse on Gone
Fishing. We get new names for established plants, marvel at the
wonder of oaks trees, and Adam is given a special gift. We have our
first gardening friend and we’re delighted it’s Bob, a certified
national treasure! Let us know what you think of our first
episode and please send us your favourite outside places, memories
