Appearances
Can you go back that far in your mind?
The whole family gathered around the television and on comes the goodies.
Bill Oddie, Graeme Garden and Timbrook Taylor at their surreal, hilarious best.
For me, Bill Oddie will always be linked with one song, The Funky Gibbon.
Released in 1975, it was impossible to escape.
It was silly, it was catchy and completely bonkers.
And once it got into your head, it stayed there like an earworm.
Wild comedy made Bill Oddie famous.
Wildlife became his true passion through programmes such as Birding with Bill Oddie, Bill Oddie Goes Wild.
Yeah, Bill Oddie Goes Wild, mind you, when he goes wild started before that.
And Springwatch.
He inspired generations to look more closely at the natural world and appreciate the wildlife around them, just as we try to do here.
Anyway, Bill Oddie died on Saturday and he leaves behind a legacy that goes far beyond comedy.
He did make us laugh.
He did spark an interest in wildlife for millions and helped us see the natural world through fresh eyes.
A true original.
Rest in peace, Bill Oddie.
And that's pretty much all we have time for tonight.
