Bill Oddie Unplucked At Regent Centre

TV’s favourite wildlife man, Bill Oddie, comes to the Regent Centre on April 26th at 7.30pm with his producer, Stephen Moss. Fifteen years ago, Bill Oddie and Stephen Moss had arrived at the same place- on the banks of a reservoir in North London. It was during this brief encounter that they realized they had something else in common. They were both life long birders who were wondering if they could turn their hobbies into jobs. They both worked in TV –which was a good start. Stephen was a producer of documentary and educational programmes (very useful), whilst Bill was a “Goody” (no use at all!).
