Something fishy this way comes

28 July 2011

Something fishy is going on at Channel 4.

A fisherman and his scaly companion have been seen wandering the corridors at Channel 4, and threatening to go trout and about on their own publicity campaign ahead of Channel 4's forthcoming show, Hugh's Fish Fight: The Battle Continues.

The cod couple, pictured here by our own snapper, will be visiting newsrooms and generally appearing all over the plaice throughout the day, on their brill mission to draw attention the outdated and absurd European fishing laws and end discards.

If their bream comes true, our aquatic pair will no longer have to face the heart-hake of watching millions of fish thrown back in to the North Sea, dead, every year. Instead of carping about a sole-destroying law that is clearly pollocks, it's time to exsalmon our consciences, to join the fight. Rather than skating over the surface of this issue, if we all unite with Hugh, we will see these terrible laws flounder.

[Ed: That's enough now , it's making me eel].

 

Hugh's Fish Fight: The Battle Continues, (Mon 8 August, 9pm, Channel 4) is the latest instalment of Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's stunning campaign, which has already led to a debate in parliament after 700,000 people signed up to support it, a recommendation for the banning of fish discards in the European Parliament, and a very real prospect of changing international fishing policy.
