Bill Oddie Goes Wild was a British TV about natural history, presented by Bill Oddie. Three series were made.
A six-part series, on Fridays, from 5 January 2001, showing on BBC Two at 7:30 pm. Oddie visited six locations around the country in search of a variety of wildlife – including birds, but also featuring sharks, snakes, dragonflies, badgers, bees, deer, squirrels and many more. The series was supposed to start in September, but had been delayed until the New Year.
As with Birding with Bill Oddie, the programmes were only loosely scripted, and a lot of Oddie's dialogue is spontaneous.
