Private Notes
In the first episode of this series, comedian Bobby Davro is pitted against his friend and fellow keen angler, former Eastenders actor Ricky Groves. The lads head to a tranquil fishery in the heart of Surrey for this week's challenge, which starts with a grudge match for crucian carp. The captains have scores to settle with each other from last series, and need their celebrity partners to be at their best. Ali is teamed with Ricky, and Dean with Bobby. The second challenge sees them float fishing from punts for bream and tench, with the third challenge targeting king carp.
Coached by rival team captains, fishing guru Ali Hamidi and Olympian and top angler Dean Macey, the celebrities face three tough challenges with pride, glory and bragging rights at stake. In the second episode of this series, radio host DJ Spoony takes on former Crystal Palace striker-turned-TV pundit Mark Bright. The pair go urban fishing with Ali and Dean at Walthamstow reservoirs and near the M25 for a series of challenges designed to test their skills to the limit. Tensions run high as the team captains wind each other up, and Ali and Spoony indulge in some rule-bending.
In the third episode of this series, ex Liverpool and Spurs man Neil 'Razor' Ruddock takes on former boxing champion Steve ‘The Celtic Warrior' Collins. First, the boys head to one of Ali's childhood haunts for a float fishing challenge, where Razor struggles to get into a rhythm and Ali has to be tough on him. Then the sporting pair get into a ding-dong battle as they fish for carp at the place where Ali learned his skills, near the sleepy village of Layer de la Haye in Essex. Finally, in a first for the series, they go out in a boat for a sea fishing challenge hoping to catch a haul that is worth the most when sold to a restaurant back on land. The problem is, they can only keep seven fish to sell to the restaurant, so some big decisions are to be made. In the meantime, Razor catches the show's first ever shark.
In the fourth episode of this series, Ali and Dean are joined by Olympic gold medallist Sally Gunnell and reality TV star, former model and photographer Anna 'AK' Kelle. This programme returns to Dean's roots in Essex, as the gang go pole fishing and undertake a night session chasing monster catfish.

Team captains Ali Hamidi and Dean Macey are joined by heavyweight boxer Tony ‘the bomber' Bellew and his boxing coach, Dave Coldwell – it's a case of master versus the apprentice. Both have never fished before in their lives – so this is angling entertainment at its best, as the lads learn the ropes over three tough challenges. The teams head to a tranquil fishery in West Sussex for this week's explosive first round one of three, which is a high octane match for crucian carp. Ali is teamed with Tony Bellew, and Dave Coldwell is with Deano. Crucians have a reputation for being hard to catch, and to stand a chance of winning the challenge, the teams will have to get their tactics spot on. Both guests do manage to lose their angling virginity, but who will come out on top at this early stage of the fight? Round two sees them head to Surrey to go toe-to-toe for tench and golden orfe, where the biggest total weight will win it. The fishing is slow, so there is plenty of time for fun and games, including wind-ups and maggot munching – but who has the stomach to win this one?
