Gone Fishing's Ted the Dog to publish 'Pawtobiography' - British Comedy Guide
Ted, the popular canine sidekick to Bob Mortimer and Paul Whitehouse in Gone Fishing, is to publish his 'Pawtobiography' in November.
www.comedy.co.ukHere’s the latest I can confirm about Ted from Gone Fishing:
- Ted, the dog from Bob Mortimer and Paul Whitehouse’s Gone Fishing, had a book project titled “Pawtobiography” announced in 2024, with a planned November release and behind-the-scenes anecdotes. This aligns with Ted’s ongoing public profile around that time.[1][5]
- In 2025–2026, there were ongoing updates about Ted’s involvement and well-being on the show, including public remarks from Bob Mortimer about Ted’s age and continued participation on outings, though specific new developments vary by source.[2]
- Most recently, a major development in 2026 was the reported death of Ted at age 13, followed by tributes from BBC colleagues and coverage across outlets, marking the end of his onscreen adventures with Mortimer and Whitehouse.[6][7][10]
If you’d like, I can pull together a brief timeline of Ted’s appearances and major news moments with exact dates, or I can summarize how Ted’s presence influenced Gone Fishing and its audience reception.
