Ah well-  they did show a bit of Bill (his right breast actually), but it was very much a clip show, so that was all. (I doubt it was more than was on the ad)



I wish I had a copy of a comment made by one of the organisers after he left Dunedin - it was along the lines:

---

  When the plane arrived, this little man scuttled off and said "well, I'm here -- but I don't know what I can do...", She thought " ... oh dear, we have a dud one here ..."

  But during the 24 hour telethon, Bill was there -- full of energy -- for the full time (no sneaking off in the quiet hours for a bit of a kip!), and she says that he was absolutely wonderful !!!

---

I was doing other things during the telethon, so not only didn't I get to go and see him live, I also didn't get to see him on the times he was being shown.

  I saw an ad for the following program today -- and in amongst it was a clip of Bill Oddie when he was taking part in a telethon here!

  Will have to see if it appears in the program!!
