I always liked him too, apparently he had a lonely childhood and being interested in birds gave him a hobby.
Goodies were funny in a surreal way, just seeing the three of them on the cycle made me laugh.

I really liked Bill Oddie. Partly because when I wrote to several well known people for a donation to a charity walk I was doing (this was years ago) he was the only one who responded kindly and sent me £5 and a supportive letter.
And I loved his enthusiasm and cheerful chatter for birds.

Aw, I loved the Goodies, they were so silly but so clever, and he was always excellent on the wildlife programmes.

We seem to be losing a lot of celebs lately, Penelope, Bonnie, Sam, Anthony Head, and of course poor Anne W but that was not a natural death. I've probably left loads out but those first came to mind.

Oh how sad. I loved him in The Goodies and his bird watching programmes. He had a very pleasant, calm voice.

Sad news. The Goodies passed me by but I enjoyed his wildlife programmes.

Very sorry to hear that Bill Oddie has died. I enjoyed his passion for bird watching (and watched the Goodies when I was a child).
