The Best of Bob Mortimer

I wonder if we will ever get a statue of Bob in the future, near the house he grew up in, in Acklam, he definitely deserves one.

And yes, the Lakes Estate is in Redcar. I'm sure that story is in his book.
 
I always thought it was the Lakes estate in Acklam
Definitely the Lakes estate in Acklam, I used to live two doors away from the fruiterers Bob refers to, I remember their fruit van/lorry was often parked outside their house. Bob lived on Tollesby Road, the house is next to where the Boro trained, before Rockcliffe. As an aside, his old house was up for sale recently.
 
He went to Green Lane School so definitely Acklam (he played in the same school team as Mark Page).

I love this sketch - the fact he can’t remember his characters name and just everything about it.

Me and my mate were lucky enough to get tickets for the BBC recording of that episode.
 
If you've heard the story about catching his scrotum on the goal cross bar net hooks, that happened behind my house with my brothers in attendance. I was a bit too young.
