- Bill Oddie Back in the USA
Bill Oddie Back in the USA is a British TV programme, about natural history, written and presented by Bill Oddie and screened in early 2007.
The formal description used by the BBC said:
Long before he became known as a wildlife presenter, Bill toured the states with fellow Cambridge graduates John Cleese and Tim Brooke-Taylor. Now, 43 years on he's touring the States again to check out the creatures there wasn't time to see the first time round.
The series' sound recordist, Chris Watson, occasionally appeared on-screen. The series producer was Nigel Pope.
