Little birdies whispered that nest-haired and needy Kate Humble needed poodle boy co-presenters rather that earthy Bill, and allegedly magpied him off the show.
A few nutcase complaints that bygum funnyman Bill was too birds and bees for some daughters were used to replace him with emasculated and unfunny southern softies like Packham, who is ironically a failed THE BILL actor.
The Beeb should ask the real talent if they preferred Oddie. Would the bunnies and badgers say no? I don't think so. But they would say no to the birdsong tape-loops played behind Mr and Mrs Numpty when they're on camera.
More dark joy with PM Brown's electoral visit to Rochdale where he accosts Bill who is dressed in clogs and shawl on his way to wash smalls on a flatstone by his beloved River Roch. In the car later, Brown is infamously heard to mutter, "Goodies TV reruns? Not while I'm PM!" So there is hope then...
