Weather followed by Oddie in Paradise
Up to the Giant Car Wash First of three programmes with Bill Oddie in Papua New Guinea. In search of the fabulous birds of paradise and bower-birds, Bill struggles up a mountain, drenched in tropical rain.
He looks for a twelve-wired bird of paradise and bower-birds that plant gardens and collect gun cartridges - even one that dances around a maypole with a golden crown on its head.
