Bill Oddie

Unplucked: Bill Oddie, Stephen Moss

Fifteen years ago, Bill Oddie and Stephen Moss had arrived at the same place on the banks of a North London reservoir. It was during this brief encounter that they realised they had something else in common: they were both life long birders who were wondering if they could turn their hobbies into jobs.

Reality, frustration, disappointment, joy and humour have always been integral ingredients in everything Bill and Stephen have done together. The ‘everything’, by the way, includes several series of Birding with Bill Oddie, Bill Oddie Goes Wild, How to Watch Wildlife, and collaborations on the precursors of Springwatch and Autumnwatch. Whilst much of their work features wildlife that you can see for yourself in Britain, there have also been spectacular expeditions abroad to various parts of Europe, and across the Atlantic, from Disneyworld to Patagonia.

Bill and Stephen will share memories and stories from 15 years of some of the most popular natural history series ever made. Illustrated by extracts, some were so memorable that they ranked amongst viewers’ most requested clips – from Bill’s ludicrous attempt to swim with seals, to the breath-taking air display of a starling roost (often copied, but never surpassed!).

Fascinating for all the family!
