Outside of ''[[Doctor Who]]'', he is perhaps best known for his role in the [[British]] comedy television series {{wi|The Goodies}} with [[Tim Brooke-Taylor]] and [[Graeme Garden]]. The show ran from 1970-1980 on the [[BBC]] and 1980-1982 on [[ATV]], when the Beeb cancelled the show the budget reportedly went to making [[The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy]] tv series. After the Goodies finished the trio created, wrote and provided the voices for the tv kids cartoon series ''Bananaman'' in the mid 80's. | |||
The trio had previously worked together with the likes of [[John Cleese]] on the [[BBC Radio]] programme ''I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue'' from the mid 1960's to the early 1970's. | |||
In more recent times Bill has reinvented himself as one of the BBC's leading nature presenters, drawing on his love of bird watching as a child, on programmes such as ''Springwatch'' and ''Autumnwatch''. | |||
