He deserves the recognition for all the great things he's done over the years, the laughter he and his friends have brought to countless thousands. We need more like him

@Troy Blaine flixportal
@Adonis Lance Thanks, I went there and it seems like a nice service :D Appreciate it!!
@Troy Blaine You are welcome =)
To all them .who doubt depression.i just hope it never happens to you.or you're family.very talented fella
Yes it has to be said... Bill wrote some bangers of music that still holds up today... Wish someone would release them.
"bangers" 👎
Goodies were a class act
God bless you Tim Brooke Taylor xx
Depression is something I'd thought I never get but it happened about 7 yrs ago because of my whole family feeling down as my father in law was dieing of cancer, worse time of my life, some people don't understand that you want to just shut everything and everyone out of your life in those very dark times, so I understand about Bill. One things for sure, I remember him being so funny on Springwatch and it was never the same when he left, stupid BBC!!
Madonna obviously fancied him, and wrote the song 'Erotica' about him. Bill Oddie, Bill Oddie put your hands all over my body.
Or was it Bill Oddie, Bill Oddie rub your beard all over my body!
Bill Oddie hell.
Best known as one third of the goodies DESPITE THE BBC NEVER HAVING SHOWN A RERUN OF THE SHOW since original broadcast which proves its popularity is a product of its own merits and excellence...
Rip Tim Brooke Taylor...
I love Bill Oddie's wildlife programmes. I remember watching a birdwatching series he did with my grandparents, and I also enjoyed "Springwatch". He's a great presenter.
would like to see Tim brooke taylor's This is your Life
Should get it now
To the person that recorded this, if recording mono sound on a stereo recorder, plug it into the left channel and it will be duplicated to the right automatically.
I don't blame him for refusing. I can't think of anything worse!!
I think, for me the magic in Bills comedy was his quest for fun with out harm to any person or animal. (excluding himself.)
IMG - how long has it been since I last saw a Goodies episode on TV?? they were one of my most favourite British TV programes along with The Two Ronnies and the Bruce Forsyth show. Early to mid 1980s when I was watching these - 30 years ago now.
It's difficult to decide whether or not he's a spoilsport for initially turning it down. On the one hand you could say he is, as he's shunning a compliment and the efforts of his family and friends. On the other hand, he has every right to decide what TV shows he wishes to be part of and This Is Your Life does take a liberty by effectively forcing its subject to take part.
Awkward atmosphere when Tim & Graeme appear.
Absolutely fantastic!
God bless Heinz and god bless Bill Odie. His version of 'Land of hope and glory' is my very favourite. His talent is like gold ore. ore? Or something else...
Legend (s)
Well done Aspel, totally unconvincing let down before Bill walks in.
@97channel
It might have been difficult even for his family, to guage how he would feel about (and react to) being asked to do the show. Perhaps they felt it might be a good thing for him to do?
Did you see the programme that covered Bil's journey to find out about his family history..."Who Do You Think You Are.....Bill Oddie", I think was the name of it. I was in tears.
Love you Bill
Bill oddie agreed to do a tour of Australia with Tim Brooke Taylor and Graeme garden. Graeme and Tim flew out to Australia where oddie said he would join them.
On the first day graeme and Tim got a call to say that bill would not be joining them. They did the tour without him but Tim and Graeme did not forget how they were stood up by bill oddie. And it took a further 15 years before they agreed to work together again...
For one off goodie special...
i always liked graeme but oddie got on my wick , everything about him , his voice especially
you could sense friction between them
jesus, never realised the aspel-era TIYL went for metal-techno background music! hahaha
Bill's a genius
ISIRTA did a good take on This is Your Life.
Love those ecky thump caps!
Ekky Thump... BRILLIANT 😂🤣👍☮️
Why was Alan Partridge not there? He and Bill are close friends! RIP Tim BT
@tenderheart17 It had crossed my mind that his reaction may have been infuenced to some degree by his mental health problems. I felt that the manner in which he refused was decent.
It makes me question how aware or not the producers were of the way he'd react. I hope they didn't have any hint upon which they felt fit to exploit. Because it just seems a bit odd that nobody close to him didn't suspect he may not be happy to participate.
Very uncorfortabe to see him forced into doing it.
Michael Aspel: "He (Oddie) gave me a definite refusal. Disappointed, I bade him goodbye and said no hard feelings. Luckily for us, Bill's family told him they would kill him if he didn't appear, so he changed his mind."
@97channel
I think Bill's depression cast a grey shadow over all aspects of his life for many years, and affected the way he reacted not only to the general public, but to everyone around him including his family.
I think one of the reasons why Bill became so heavily involved in bird-watching (besides his love of nature and the environment), is because it allowed him to escape from having to interract with other people.
Did you find this difficult to watch? It made me very uncomfortable.
A lot of people criticising bill either forget or don't know about his struggles with depression, or maybe lack the empathy. He's a genuinely nice man,but constantly fighting a battle many don't understand. Depression is an illness hugely misunderstood by people,because it's an invisible illness
Is it not significant that Bill's initial reluctance came a year before the show's axing amongst rumours that "modern" celebrities were reluctant to take part in what they thought a corny concept (rumoured to include the Gallagher brothers)🎩
According to this is your life, there have only ever been three refusals, and Bill Oddie's was the latest. Author Richard Gordon refused in 1974, so maybe it's him you're thinking of. The only person to refuse and actually never appear though, was Danny Blanchflower.
Well Richard Gordon was do the following week
This was the first time in 27 years that a subject turned down the big red book but you could say this was Aspel's revenge on Bill for the clip at 0:39
One of those daughters created tellytubbies..no small feat.
No, nope, not doing it. Hilarious. They have to wheel him in Silence of the Lambs style.
Someone else famously refused to do This is your Life back in the early 80's, but I can't remember who it was. Anybody know?
Gary Glitter
Angie Dickinson you can see it here on yt.
always fascinated by the reveal cos they KNEW something was wrong all their friends acting weird for 3 months .bill hated the show,which should be brought back with eamon holmes
Now I'm going to use a naughty word here but Michael Aspel looked pissed off with Bill Oddie I bet Michael Aspel wanted to chin him
It really is astonishing to read some of these comments. How on earth does anybody have the right to rubbish a person they have not even met, or, even if met, have not got to know? It beggars belief! The really sad thing is that these same pillocks that express their 'informed' opinions so freely, are allowed to vote.
Last of the 3 refusees:Oddington and the chap who wrote the doctor books changed their minds.,Danny Blanchflower didn't 🎩
The master of ecky thump!
😅😅😅 are they still alive 😅😅
part of what i love about this is that americans will never get it
Oh?
Some people just don’t want to do it. I would also like fuck if he appeared from no where with that book. SorryI don’t want the limelight and bad past memories. They belong in the past. Pick someone else
He's only 3ft tall
2:01 'This is your light''? Haha.
B. Oddie?! That's Bill Oddie!
What's rude about a body?
tits?
titz
He's bipolar.
He is a pain in the ass !
You clearly don't understand or care about depression. You're the pain in the arse you insensitive idiot
Just another quick one , I Reckon Tim Brooke Taylor's probably an ear hole as well.
Pathetic gave in and changed his mind
drama queen
Oddie - about as popular as a snake in a lucky dip. I can only think of one other I dislike more and that is Ben Elton , he's about as funny as toothache . Oddie though , he takes the biscuit , if you ever want to see him at his worst have a look at the time he did Celebrity Bargain Hunt , or was it Cash in the Attic , not sure , but anyway , all his items bombed and he was clearly not best pleased , l was laughing my bollocks off watching him trying to explain it . It was a classic .
I have happened to have met Bill Oddie and he is a very rude man
Yes, but you do realise, I hope, that both the programmes to which you refer are a 'fix.' A friend of mine went on one of these and was told exactly what to do. There was little left to chance in it. So any chagrin on the part of Oddie will also have come straight from the drama department. So please do not be taken in.
His depression was probably a result of him pursuing a totally inappropriate career in comedy. Funny.....he ain't.
An awful little man!
