But John Buchan, skipper of the Peterhead-registered Ocean Venture II, who found fame in the 2006 Trawlermen series, said he was “disgusted” by the show, and urged fellow fishermen to make official complaints.

The skipper said of the TV presenter: “He was an idiot and the programme was a load of rubbish. The Scottish fishing industry has done more than any other country to protect fish stocks. We want a future for the generations behind us.

“We have gone so far for conservation we now have a camera on our net so people can see what we are doing.

“The programme read out a list of endangered fish, including cod – but the sea is full of cod. I would imagine that anyone in the industry who saw it would be angry. I think people should complain. I was disgusted by this piece of nonsense.

“It paints a black picture of the industry and is really bad for the public to see something like that.”
