* Bill is scheduled to appear on "This Morning" on Tues, 2nd Sept on ITV1 to promote his new autobiography.  The show airs from 10:30 to 12:30.  Let us know if you spot any other interviews to promote the book, which will be published on 4th Sept!


* Bill is scheduled to take part in a celebrity quiz as part of "The National Lottery - Big 7" on BBC 1 Saturday, 30 Aug.  Part one of the show airs from 20:00 to 20:50 and the second part is from 21:20 to 22:00


* A BBC Radio 4 Show called "Beardyman and the Mimics" (to be broadcast Sat, 30 Aug at 10:30-11:00) will include an appearance by Bill (although he isn't the "Beardyman" of the title  .  Here's a listing:
    "Champion beatboxer Beardyman, aka Darren Foreman, is a master of vocal artistry. He can make all manner of noises, including entire percussive music tracks, using only his mouth, throat and tongue. Inspired by the lyrebird, he ventures on a personal journey to unveil the secrets of animal vocal mimicry. He encounters ornithologist and musician Bill Oddie, birdsong scientific experts and a whole new world of sounds."

Huge thanks to wackwales for these corrections:

*The national lottery show is in two parts and it looks like the quiz runs over both sections.  The second part starts at 21:20 and finishes at 22:00.

*This Morning normally runs from 10.30 through to 12.30 (I think the first news break happens at 11.15 so that might be where the confusion comes from) so if you're setting your videos for Bill you may want to record all that period to be on the safe side!
