Bill Bailey & Chocho
Notes de l’épisode
Matt Baker brings The Petcast caravan to Goodwoof at the Goodwood Estate in West Sussex to welcome comedian, presenter and author Bill Bailey, who arrives with Chocho, a six-month-old rescue Japanese Chin originally found for his 93-year-old dad.
Bill shares how animals have shaped his life, from childhood dogs and family memories to living on a houseboat with Rocky the “latchkey” terrier who even wandered onstage during gigs. He and his wife Chris grew their home into a rescue-led menagerie with cats, cockatoos, rabbits (including Flemish Giants), tortoises, lizards, koi carp, exotic birds, and even breeding three-banded armadillos—becoming officially registered as Britain’s smallest zoo and contributing welfare notes to a European database. He also discusses caring routines, parrot diets, his wildlife art, and how his mum inspired his love of nature.
