		(Apart from the sex symbol bit.) In a parallel universe at this very moment VH-1 is dedicating a whole month of broadcasting to Bill Oddie, one of the great survivors of 60s rock and the man who brought the jazz-funk fusions of Miles Davis and Parliament to a mass audience.

	Kayotix - music & multimedia solutions
		Instantly recognisable by his characteristic greying facial hair, field-glasses and hiking gear, this gregarious and feisty beast is often to be found in the company of television cameras, producers and directors.
		Explaining the mating habits of British fauna is a million miles away from Oddie's previous incarnation, as a member of the country's best-known comedy trio, the Goodies, and musical celebrator of another exotic animal, the Funky Gibbon.
		Though he is dismissed by some as bumptious, Bill Oddie's sheer fascination with his subject has made him a formidable guide to Britain's wildlife, and his relaxed presenting style is effective because of, not despite, its very spontaneity.

	Goodies, The - Graeme Garden, Bill Oddie, Tim Brooke-Taylor
		It's funny how the controller of BBC2 can allow repeats of "The Good Life" and "Fresh Prince Of Bel Air" (to name but two admittedly excellent comedies) to be shown over and over but her reasoning for not repeating "The Goodies" is that she doesn't want to air too many repeats.
		But the good, nay utterly brilliant, news is that Messrs Brooke-Taylor, Garden and Oddie themselves have bought the rights to their classic show and plan on releasing it on DVD and video.
		Oddie, Garden and Brooke-Taylor shared a similar background and history to most of the Monty Python team.

	Death Before Death?
		I looked forward to watching the series, and was even more excited when I saw another one of the regular cast members was familiar to me.
		But I was totally unprepared for the shock I received when viewing the episodes and suddenly in one sketch the door opens and there is none other than.
		This was a surprise, as I had no idea Bill Sadler had ever performed the part before Bogus Journey (the character of Death was completely established in the script before Bill Sadler had even been cast).

	Bill Oddie
		A message from Bill Oddie, President of Sandwich Bay Bird Observatory Trust:
		Without any doubt at all, the majority of my fondest memories of early days birding were spent at observatories in various parts of Britain, and - equally certainly - it was at these places that I fully came to appreciate that there was far more to the study of birds than simply "ticking them off."
		I have long been proud to be President of Sandwich Bay, and I am absolutely delighted to see and support these exciting new plans, which I am sure will make it an even more special place - both for birds and people.
