Bill Oddie has joined a number of celebrities including Jude Law,  Helen Baxendale, Gillian Anderson, Stephen Fry and Darcey Bussell on a virtual march for a tough climate change law.

Anyone can join Bill on The Big Ask online march, which has been organised by environmental campaign group Friends of the Earth. You simply use your camera or mobile phone to record a short video clip, along with a message asking your MP to support The Big Ask, which is calling on the Government to strengthen its plans for a new climate change law.  You can join by e-mail too. When you join the march, your MP will automatically receive a link to your recorded message.

All the marchers, their messages and a campaign ad by Last King of  Scotland director Kevin MacDonald, can be seen at www.thebigask.com –  along with full details of how to join in.
