BBC Fishing Show
Posted February 14th, 2004 @ 09:50pm by Erik J. Barzeski
My friend Rob has told me a few times about a fishing show on the BBC, and I'm hoping that readers of my blog can help me figure out the name. The show airs on BBC here in the U.S. and is a competitive one that pits one man against another. They each fish a series of the same holes on alternative days. The men (or women) camp out, moving from one fishing location to the next. As each fish is caught it's weighed and "live" results show as the competition goes along.
So, anyone have any idea what the show is, or where I might find information? I've looked on the BBC site but didn't find anything.

At first I thought you meant Fish 'O' Mania but then I read your post properly. I think the show you are looking for is Reel Wars (which I cannot find a good link for), it has a strong survival element to it as well, they have a limited amount of camping gear and have to live off the fish they catch and whatever else they can scrounge up.

The show is called "Reel Wars" and it features a scotsman and a pom, both of whom are very amusing fellows. They have to fish for their food and when they fail to do so, they take all sorts of amusing and desperate measures that finally make them quite ill, along with their occasional alcohol bonuses.
