A River Somewhere was an Australian documentary television series originally broadcast by ABC TV in 1997 and 1998. It was produced by Working Dog Productions, and was hosted by Tom Gleisner and Rob Sitch. The series was released on DVD in 2005. The series focused on the observations of Sitch and Gleisner as they travelled to various locations across Australia, New Zealand and around the world to fly fish and experience the local culture. The aim of their expedition was to "catch dinner and have it cooked in a local style". The music used throughout the series was created by Australian musician and composer Liam Bradley.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This series essentially invented the 'comedians doing real things badly' format years before Taskmaster or The Trip existed.
Working Dog Productions later made The Castle and Utopia—this was their experimental phase between news satire and feature films.
