Bill Oddie's Autobiography
"One Flew into the Cuckoo's Egg"

Whose first records were produced by George Martin, and who had two singles banned by the BBC? Who earned rare reviews on Broadway for his dancing?  Who rode on the back seat of the Goodies' tandem?  Who has been called 'Britain's best-known birdwatcher?' Who had his first clinical depression in his 60th year and has only just discovered why? Who has written an autobiography that is as witty, candid and unconventional as the man himself?  The answer to all of the above is Bill Oddie.

A national treasure, Bill Oddie was the star of the biggest comedy hit of the 70s - the Goodies.  He was the UK's favourite wildlife presenter regularly fronting Springwatch and Autumnwatch which had a daily audience of over 4 million viewers.

Poignant & Incredibly Entertaining

Bill Oddie has a real story to tell. He has been a sufferer from depression for many years and the roots of it are in his childhood. His mother was committed to a mental asylum when he was a small child and he writes very movingly and candidly about the impact this has had on his life. However, this is not a depressing memoir. It is as entertaining as the man himself.
