One of my favourite TV personalities this decade has sadly passed away. Up to doggy heaven. RIP Ted I’ll miss you on Gone Fishing
I know. It’s awful isn’t it. Mind you I thought he’d died a couple of years ago when the Christmas special showed him with wings going up to heaven.It really confused me. I read that he will feature for the last time in the first episode of the new series.Won’t be the same without him.
Sticking out our bottom set of teeth and going, “Yeah, but it isn’t!” in the style of Ted has become our go-to for disarming the other in an argument. Neither of us can keep a straight face after that.
We’re going to miss the single-minded, scrofulous, opportunistic little bugger. Wherever he’s gone in the afterlife, may there be a riverbank, something smelly to roll in, and of course a briefcase.

Lovely article about him in The Times by his owner. Was amused at the bit in which she said in his younger days they found him half way up a tree chasing something. A few years ago I noticed that Patterdales were becoming very popular as pets ( they do look very cute) and wondered if people knew what they were letting themselves in for. I got chatting to an old farmer at a country fair about this and he pointed out that he’d always had Patterdales and when they are in pursuit of their prey they will literally climb a tree to get to it. Ted’s owner said they’d had to build a big fence round their garden to Ted proof it.
