It's mostly women these days. Bill has seemongly been trying to break into wildlife stuff - he did that wobbly Wild Thing I Love You, which was mainly an advert for Dusty Gedge's services. Rory McGrath dabbles too, doesn't he. I suppose the success of Springwatch has really opened the ears of commissioners to birding as entertainment. Can't say I'm the target audience, but it's good to see Bill Oddie's stranglehold on wildlife entertainment shows being well and truly broken. Problem with Bill Bailey though, is that I just don't believe it. Doesn't have the same genuine feel as, say, Suggs taking you round London.</blockquote>
