About Billl the Beaver
The idea for the character came to me while I was in the Car driving to Ikea. I heard a BBC Radio interview about the possibility of Norwegian European Beavers being introduced into Scotland. Norwegian Beavers in Scotland? I wondered what these immigrant Beavers from Norway might make of Scotland? How they would get on? What would they do? Make of the food? The Norwegian Home Improvements Television presenter idea came to me while wondering around the Scandinavian Household store Ikea. Bills accent is a mixture of Norwegian and Scots. I made this short Film in 2001 (below) in my conservatory and CBBC were initially very interested in Bill, then not? I enjoyed performing Bill and I would like to find a TV home for him. ©Marcus Clarke 2001
