He was taking part in a video called "Dawn Chorus" hence he started in bed (or rather on bed) in his pants ... don't ask!

The clever bit was that they got him to sing along with a bird song that had been slowed down by a factor of 10 - that meant that he could keep up with the notes and reach the high ones. When the video was then played at 10x its normal speed he sounded like a bird and his mannerisms were similar - some may have called him a twitcher.

As I have said else where part of the programme was absolutely riviting ... other bits were just wierd ... I'll leave you to make your own mind up on this.
