Bill Oddie

[Kappa]

Did anyone see this? He was watching some monster roach and grayling in a chalk stream before looking for crayfish. I really enjoyed the very short bit of this program I saw unfortunetly I miss most of it!

[Chris Plumb]

I saw it too - was on the Frome in Dorset for most of the program - though I think he and the EA lass were on the River Allen (?) hunting for natural Crays (The Frome has Signals). Anyone know where the Allen is?

The rat with the bread in it's mouth trying to flee the duck was quality.

If he doesn't, he should start. He seemed to find some nice roach.

[Jim Roper]

A lot of the shots looked to be around Dorchester.

Later shots were around Wareham at it looked a bit like Holme Bridge that he was under.

If he did, he'd be a carp angler.

 

 

Whether that counts or not depends on your point of view!

No Bill Oddie is not an angler, he admitted his fish recognition skills were not up to scratch, he was watching the fish, roach, a grayling and a brownie through his field glasses though I doubt he actually found them himself, it was nevertheless an interesting interlude in his programme along with shots of a rat out-swimming the chasing ducks with a mouthful of bread.

 

The Beeb should be aware, that's two non-angling programmes containing scenes of fish within the same week, is Mr.Attenborough is losing his influence.
