Birding with Bill Oddie was a British TV programme, about natural history, presented by Bill Oddie. Three series were made.

The Mark Thomas Comedy Product was a television show fronted by the English comedian, presenter, political activist and reporter, Mark Thomas. It was broadcast in the UK on Channel 4 from February 1996 to May 2002.
The show, described as "a brilliantly ludicrous alternative to Watchdog", was a hybrid of comedy and serious politics, with Thomas often using silly or surreal methods to gain interviews with politicians and corporations and to highlight issues.
With modern technology at everyone's fingertips, the possibility to solve cases has increased and this show will prove exactly why. Showcasing high-octane true stories with life and death stakes, each episode includes CCTV footage and interviews with the police solving the crimes, witnesses, and the families of the victims.
