Heehee, Bill Oddie: The Jumper Rebel, what a title!
I'm in the mood for posting an adorable Bill pic. This is from '2001: And A Bit,' where he's Tim's son:

Sorry to double-post, but I forgot to mention where you can find the moment. It's just after Graeme does the "camera running" joke. Oh, and I should perhaps make it more clear that it definitely is a horn and not Bill letting one go, before anyone gets too excited by the prospect.
That sounded weird...
I love how in the commentary that Bill says he's a rebel because his jumper doesn't match Tim and Graeme's. It's very adorable.
Ok, I'll go now. Jess. --------------

I've just watched that bit now without looking at the screen and I heard a definite 'prfft' sound. Whether it was Bill or someone else's bodily functions playing up I'm not sure, but it sounds highly suspect.
Bravo to Bill for being so observant, I would never have noticed that in a million years.

It's right at the very end of a shot, just as Graeme (I think) finishes saying something. I find I don't notice it a lot of the time because it happens just as the shot changes.

Oi! It's too quiet 'round here! (Crashes around switching lights on and turning up the stereo)
Ahem. On the commentary for Movies, roundabout the start of 'Macbeth meets Truffaut the Wonder Dog' there's an exchange along the lines of:
BO: What was that? TBT: What? BO: A 'parp' noise like a motor horn! TBT: You hadn't let one go, had you? BO: No I had not! GG: Is this a double bluff?
Must confess, I haven't actually heard the noise they're referring to... I think the commentary audio drowns it out. |

' Where oh where did I read in an interview with Tim, re: Bill's tendency to laugh at inopportune moments:
"He'd pull this silly face trying not to laugh, and then he'd fart! You knew you'd done something funny if you made Bill fart."
Sorry. I'm going to represent Australia in the Eurovision lowering-the-tone competition. But does anyone recognise that and remember where it's from? |
Ah yes, I remember that, it's one of the Clarion & Globes, issue 74 to be precise. It was an interview done by Kay Dickinson, and here's the quote:
"The highest praise we could get is that Bill, when he really found something funny would go like that [screws face up] and then suddenly fart! It was one of those things that obviously built up inside him, and phrrrt!! I must find it, because there is one where I'm doing the thing that's actually making him laugh and you can actually hear him out of shot! Now that's a test for anybody, if they can actually find that bit... but we used to think that that was the highest praise, if Bill farts, that's funny! So you can imagine all the West End, 'They were farting in the aisles!'"
The only bit I can think of where Tim was deliberately trying to make them laugh was in 'Camelot' with that corpsing moment I mentioned in my previous post. I thought Bill made a silly laugh, I didn't think it was a fart. Shall have to watch that bit again...
...
No, no, it's definitely a laugh. *Phewf* I was worried for a moment.
Still, I wonder where this Bill farting off camera moment is?
Sorry to lower the tone even further! Jess. --------------

I agree, Tim is brilliant at keeping a straight face. Such a pro.
I love the "Come Dancing" corpse, he doesn't even try to hide it! Although it's off camera, I love the corpse in Camelot where Graeme's singing a song on the lute and Tim makes his jester hat twirl around to put him off. Graeme shows signs of cracking up, but Bill's still the most obvious by blurting a very silly laugh, clearly trying to hold it in but failing miserably. Bless him.

'Oh I love that one too. I think I love it all the more because of the way Tim just takes it in his stride without even a hint of a corpse. |
Tim is the master of not corpsing (is there a word for that?). But I love Bill's corpsing, especially when he really tries not to look at the other two to stop himself from laughing. -- I'm back, and it's about time! |
