Birding with Bill Oddie

Birding with Bill Oddie was a British TV programme, about natural history, presented by Bill Oddie. Three series and eighteen episodes were made, which ran from 21 February 1997 to 31 March 2000 on BBC Two.

Birding with Bill Oddie was only loosely scripted and a lot of Bill's dialogue was spontaneous – he would start to talk and the cameraman would film him. The reason that the viewer almost feels that they are in the hide or on the site with Bill, is that video was used rather than film.

Originally broadcast from Friday 15 May 1998 to Friday 19 June 1998. The Dorset, Farmland and Shetland episodes were repeated on Friday 11 February 2000 as a precursor to Series 3.

Series 3 (2000)
Originally broadcast from Friday 18 February 2000 to Friday 31 March 2000, preceded by a repeat run of Series 2.
