Julia Zemiro’s Home Delivery: Nov 27

Tomorrow Julia Zemiro meets with The Goodies' own Bill Oddie.

Tomorrow on Home Delivery Julia Zemiro meets with The Goodies‘ own Bill Oddie.

Bill Oddie is the beardie-one that a generation of us grew up watching on the anarchic comedy The Goodies.

Julia takes her life in her hands (literally) in a classic MG to retrace Bill’s childhood in Birmingham in the UK. First we visit his childhood home and he opens up about having a mother with a severe mental illness, and reflects on his own battles.

At his old High School, Bill recalls that it was here where his talents were most encouraged and this led him to eventually performing and writing with Tim Brooke Taylor, Graeme Garden, Terry Jones and John Cleese.

AfterThe Goodies, Bill pursued his interest in natural history and bird watching, presenting many TV and radio series.

Bill and Julia finish the episode birdwatching and reflecting on the state of the environment and the world.

8pm Wednesday on ABC.
