Who is this Bill Oddie that keeps being mentioned a lot by Jeremy Clarkson? I already looked him up in the Encyclopedia Wikioica, but it's not being clear and talking nonsense.

Where's the joke? Do only British people get it? Please!

He is a Goodie. He is a bird watcher (Twitcher). He is an prominent British enviromentalist. The last one is the only one of relevance to Top Gear. If it makes you feel better you can mentally substitute Al Gore or Tim Flannery if you are from the US or Australia.

It is starting to make sense now.

Perhaps if you actually read the OT.

I. ALREADY. LOOKED HIM UP. IN. WIKIPEDIA.
I read it. It seems to say all that needs to be said.
Like that he's on a nature program and all about environmentalism.

You're not being very helpful.

The Goodies were second only to Python in the Uk during the 70's. Bill turned from beeing a comedy hero into a bird watcher and enviromentalist as he grew older. I think it's these facts that earn him so much stick from Jezzer Clarkson and his gang.

Urgh bill oddie, he's a guy who used to be part of the goodies I believe but now all he does is watch birds and gets on my nerves. He was on never mind the buzzcocks once and well scarred my soul. Sadly I can't find footage of just him from the episode just entire episodes on youtube.

Haha, I remember that episode of Buzzcocks. He made a right prat of himself as usual. It had Stewart Lee on, too; awesome.

But if anything, the new guy they got on to replace him on Springwatch is even worse.
