Gone Fishing, now on its sixth series, follows Bob and Paul as they travel across the country, appreciating its scenic beauty while reminiscing about the past.

During their visit, Bob and Paul stopped by Market Drayton where they met Steve Ball, the owner of Queen Street Records, who expressed his excitement about meeting his childhood heroes: "I love them both. It was a bit of an honour. I like the show too, and it was a really funny day. Paul was quite quiet and Bob was thinking two thousand things at once. It was really good to see him improvising – it was brilliant."
