the dj john peel described teenage kicks as the best pop song ever written. fergal had other top ten hits and a long career behind the scenes in the music industry, but now he is pretty much a full—time campaigner. scooby—dooby—doo. so i want to know how a working class punk who grew up in derry during the troubles ended up as the champion of britain's rivers. and along the way, he's going to try to teach me how to fly fish. so, one word of warning foryou, fergal. i have never... i've done the sort of angling with a float, whatever you call it. but i've never done fly fishing. as izaak walton said, "is it not an art to catch a trout with a fly?" can you count to three? can i count to three? i think i can manage that, yes. you're going to do fine. you're going to be ok. let's get going. i'm not sure fergal sharkey realises the scale of the challenge he is taking on. so, as we can tell, we have a very handy cameraman as a target here. go for it. see if you can take him out.

so, what we can do is one, two, three. it's simple. one, two, three. and you are sort of feeding it with that hand a little bit? i'm just letting it run through itself. if you get enough energy into it, the line itself will extend and shoot out all by itself. i guess it's my turn now. just go for it. one, two... oh, it's up in the tree! well, the good news is you're not dropping your back cast. how did...? i mean, because you grew up in derry in northern ireland, didn't you? yep. and you were a working class lad. yeah. how did a working class punk from derry end up...? this is considered the gentleman's sport! it's a long time since anybody called me that, i have to tell you. well, ironically enough, if you want to get into fly fishing, there is no finer place than northern ireland. a, it's not considered elitist because lots of people do it.

it's cheap, it's easily accessible and it's open to all. so, by way of example, when i was growing up in derry i could go to the middle of town, get on a bus and, 20 minutes later, be standing on the banks of a river on the edge of derry called the faughan. and, to this day, it's still got salmon running up the river faughan. and i think, at the time, membership of the faughan anglers association was, like, 15, 20 quid or something. and once that cross—community? yeah, there was never... i don't remember on the bank of any lock, lake, river... so you might be fishing next to a protestant, there are bombs going off and you're like, "how's the fish rising? 0h, there's a good spot down there for trout." you have to bear in mind that this thing about catholics and protestants, i had neighbours that were protestants. did it ever come up? no. it didn't. because, ironically enough, they were living the same kind of lives. the brown trout in the river are out of season, so we're

going after a related species called grayling. one of the beauties about grayling is not only are they a phenomenally sensitive fish, incredibly sensitive to water quality. so if you've got grayling... you're doing well. ..you know your river is in good shape. he says his character was forged early on in life. growing up in derry in particular, northern ireland in general, during the late �*605 and �*70s, and particularly coming from a republican background, there was all the disruption and the devilment and the punkish attitude you ever needed. was out there, and you wanted it. it was there on the streets. well, bearing in mind my parents, like a lot of parents, were out there on civil rights marches. shall we just say there was only enough room for punky kind of attitude. and, ironically enough, it was one of the things that was a driver of the undertones. in that that is why we wrote songs about chocolate. can you think of a

drop in the quality of water in the river. it had me going on for 15, i6 river. it had me going on for 15, 16 years. i could not comprehend why anybody were still talking about something 16 years later. so what that taught me, itjust made me curious as to why, ultimately, a bunch of old men had to go to all of the trouble with the charity and spent a year and a half digging out information, putting our case together, just to get them to do the right thing. it together, just to get them to do the riaht thin. ., ,, right thing. it does seem extraordinary, _ right thing. it does seem extraordinary, doesn't i right thing. it does seem | extraordinary, doesn't it? right thing. it does seem i extraordinary, doesn't it? if right thing. it does seem - extraordinary, doesn't it? if we right thing. it does seem _ extraordinary, doesn't it? if we had to do all of— extraordinary, doesn't it? if we had to do all of that, _ extraordinary, doesn't it? if we had to do all of that, what _ extraordinary, doesn't it? if we had to do all of that, what else - extraordinary, doesn't it? if we had to do all of that, what else is - to do all of that, what else is going on? at that point, as i now describe it, we scratch that itch. started scratching. every time i

in this country is a legal and sewage overflows should only ever be used in exceptional situations. so we now know that last year we spent 3.1 million hours on a00,000 separate occasions. is anything remotely exceptional about any of that?
