==LBC Radio Show==


===Radio career===
Bill’s voice should be particularly familiar to LBC 97.3’s listeners because he has filled in for many of the station’s presenters for several years now. After being a staple of the weekend night-time slot since 2006 (also often covering weeknights when relevant presenter was away), from 24 May 2007 the show shifted every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday mornings from 1.00 until 5.00am, replacing the outgoing ]. ] has since taken over his old slot of Saturday to Monday mornings. Other than the different days, the show format remained the same. Until 2008, on Tuesday mornings from 2.00am Bill was joined by Alan Capper, LBC's correspondent in ] to discuss all things American. On Tuesday and Thursday mornings between 1.00am and 2.00am was the Rolling Quiz (sponsored by ]); where listeners correctly answer a question, and then set the next one. Although due to its popularity the quiz moved to every morning between 3.00am and 4.00am, in late 2007, and the AQA sponsorship has subsequently been dropped. Bill loves his food, and began presenting LBC's ''Sunday Afternoon Food and Drink'' programme from 20 January 2008, replacing ] who moved to weekday afternoons. Recipes by both Bill and his listeners can often be found on his programme's daily blog page.
Buckley began his radio career presenting and producing the lunchtime show on ] in ] in 1989. He was poached by the new, commercial rival ] in 1991. The first of his two stints at London's ] followed in 1994. Buckley has presented various programmes on ], including many overnight shows on BBC Radio London 94.9FM. Over Christmas and New Year 2009–10, Buckley filled in on ] and BBC Radios ], ], ], Kent, Berkshire and Oxford.<ref name="home" /> He presented the lunchtime show on ], weekdays noon to 2&nbsp;pm, from 15 March 2010 until 17 September 2010. From January 2011 until September 2011, he was the host of BBC Berkshire's lunchtime slot show. Buckley was also ]'s food and drink correspondent, guesting every Wednesday night on ''The Late Show with Joanne Good'' until early 2011. Until May 2013, Buckley presented his own Sunday show on ] from 12&nbsp;pm till 2&nbsp;pm, solving listeners' gardening problems, and talking about the best food and drink in Oxfordshire.<ref name="bbc.co.uk" /> Buckley presented full-time on ] based in ]<ref>{{cite web |url=https://radiotoday.co.uk/2013/03/bill-buckley-goes-daily-on-bbc-radio-devon/ |title=Bill Buckley Goes Daily on BBC Radio Devon |date=March 2013 |website=Radio Today |access-date=March 20, 2021}}</ref> until moving back to present the 1&nbsp;pm till 4&nbsp;pm slot on ] in April 2016.


====LBC====
Bill's presenting style is genial, relaxed and camp. Unlike many other presenters, who prefer to keep the majority of their personal lives separate from their shows, Bill often shares what has been happening in his personal life (or at very least selected highlights of it), and typically opens his show with a lengthy monologue update of what he has been up to.
Buckley filled in for many of ]'s presenters for several years, and also regularly hosted a weekend night-time slot. In May 2007 his show shifted to Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday mornings from 1&nbsp;am until 5&nbsp;am. Buckley began presenting LBC's Sunday afternoon ''Food and Drink'' programme in January 2008.


Buckley announced that he was stepping down from the overnight show from early September 2009 due to the unsociable hours, but intended to continue his Sunday food and drink programme.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.lbc.co.uk/bill-buckleys-blog-3517/entry/84/3595 |title=The Future |last=Buckley |first=Bill |website=LBC 97.3 |date=2 September 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090907060905/http://www.lbc.co.uk/bill-buckleys-blog-3517/entry/84/3595 |archive-date=7 September 2009 |access-date=March 20, 2021}}</ref> He presented what was scheduled to be his penultimate programme in the morning of Tuesday 8 September, with the intention of presenting his final programme the following morning. However, his photograph was removed from station's website on Tuesday, and it was announced that the overnight slot would be presented by someone else. His name was also removed from the ''Food and Drink'' show's description.
Bill is notable for enjoying 'singalongs' with listeners who call in, claiming a broad knowledge of contemporary and classical music. Indeed, the show was for a while introduced by the ]'s remix of ]'s hit single, "]". The track was chosen in a vote by listeners a few weeks after he first landed his regular weekend slot in 2006, and was used until the introduction of LBC's new jingle package in 2008. Bill's show often delves nostalgically into the recent past - for example, reminding listeners of confectionery and beverages of old; indeed, cooking is a common and well-liked theme of his show. He is well-known for his pernickety use of correct grammar and will often jump onto any mistake a caller makes. Regular features of his programme include 'caption contests': competitions to come up with the best headline for an interesting newspaper story. There are also joke competitions, including 'Knock, Knock', 'Doctor, Doctor', 'A man walks into a pub...' and 'What do you call a...'; and finally poetry and other word-based competitions, including ]s, ], ]s, ]s, recent addition "Definitials" (one word-per-line acrostics, with the title "borrowed" from a similar ] competition), occasionally ]s, and a number of other word-play games ("] for 2007", and "Celebrity Gravestones", being just two such examples).


===Cookery===
As well as being sometimes nicknamed "Ten Pantos" by regular contributors to his show (see 'Pantomime' section), Bill has also more recently been occasionally nicknamed "]" by some listeners, in response to how people either love or loathe him and his many word-based competitions, just as people love or loathe Marmite.
In September 2005, Buckley appeared on, and won, '']''. He previously cooked on the ] and, live, on Channel 5 on ''Open House with ]''. Buckley has also appeared as a judge on three series of ]'s '']'' and ]'s The People's Cookbook with ] and ]. He has been food editor of BBC Southern Counties magazine and was elected to the prestigious Guild of Food Writers. In 2008, Buckley replaced ] on ''Ten Minutes to Table'', co-presenting with Xanthe Clay, for Telegraph TV. He has judged the Academy of Chocolate Awards, Great Taste Awards and World Cheese Awards. Buckley is a restaurant reviewer for View London.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p005n68f |title=Programmes - Bill Buckley |website=BBC |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100529231145/http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p005n68f |archive-date=May 29, 2010 |access-date=March 20, 2021}}</ref>


==Personal life==
Bill leaves his mobile phone on, primarily to use the predictive text function to decrypt some contributors wrongly worded texts. The phone also gives off a loud cockerel sound when a text is received, giving Bill scope for many innuendos, with the catchphrase "Ooh, pardon my cock!".
Buckley is openly gay, and entered into a civil partnership in August 2011. In a radio interview with BBC Radio Berkshire's ] on 12 August of that year, he talked about how he came out to his parents, how they reacted and how he attempted suicide.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-berkshire-14506507|title=Presenter talks about coming out|work=BBC News|date=12 August 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.plymouthherald.co.uk/travelled-broadcaster-Buckley-Radio-Devon-road/story-18381054-detail/story.html|title=Much-travelled broadcaster Bill Buckley to put Radio Devon on the road|date=11 March 2013|access-date=30 May 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140531090111/http://www.plymouthherald.co.uk/travelled-broadcaster-Buckley-Radio-Devon-road/story-18381054-detail/story.html|archive-date=31 May 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref> Buckley is also a member of ].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mensa.org.uk/about-mensa/faqs#n94|title=Famous Mensans}}</ref>


==References==
In mid 2007, after Bill had taken over the weeknight slot, it became a running joke for people to phone in during the straight-to-air last half hour of the preceding ] show impersonating Bill.

==Pantomime==
Nicknamed 'Ten Pantos' by LBC fans, Bill has appeared in a number of shows. Panto has allowed him to shine both as an actor and vocalist. Bill's love of performing in panto is clear from a diary entry during his stint in Cinderella at ], in December 2004:

"Time flies when you're being frozen by fairy magic, yanking false legs from scheming ugly sisters and waltzing at royal balls in a powdered wig."


==Trivia==

In 1981 when the protagonist character 'Meg Richardson' was axed, Bill released a record called "Meg Is Magic" in support of her.
