Bill Oddie's Springwatch

[Sark79]

Did anyone watch this last year? 

It was a great show and it starts again tonight on BBC.  When I first saw Oddie on TV about 5 or 6 years ago, I wasn't the biggest fan and preferred Atenborough as a presenter.  But then my Uncle told he about his previous career as a comedian. He recommended I watch the "Goonies". So off I went to the library and ordered a copy of the "Gonnies". A week later my copy arrived, I was abit surprised I hadn't actually seen Oddie acting in it because I had watched the movie around 50 times as a kid.  I later found out it was the " Goodies" and I had misheard my Uncle.

Now I think Oddie is a great presenter after I have watched a lot of his shows. He makes his subject really interesting for the general public. Even idiots like me can understand it.  . Oddie also does a lot for rare and endangered birds and wild animals.

I think it is on at 8pm on BBC. The other day after the news, they advertised the new series  on BBC. There was reference to a feature on this years show about Chatelhault outside Larkhall. I know this park fairly well as I take my dogs there a lot. I will be looking out for that bit of the show the most.

No you didn't sark. Bill oddie was late getting to the studio for the third time in a week. He was so upset about it that he brought in a time and motion expert.

After studying Bill for a few days, the expert came up with the reason, it was so interesting that they decided to make an extra programme telling us all about it. It's going to be called 'Bill Oddie's Watchspring'

I got the Goonies.  I sat through it twice to catch his appearance.  It's only after I checked the credits, I realised there was a mistake.
