01 Fishing’s mainstream popularity continues
2020 was a crap year for everyone and everything -except fishing. Licence sales soared and Bob and Paul brought angling to millions of BBC viewers. Television executives love to cash in on a bandwagon so expect 2021 to bring us Mark Pitchers in a vat of slugs on I’m a Celebrity and Scott Lloyd on Masterchef. Ali Hamidi will still get overlooked for SoccerAid, though.
