Billy Connolly: Made In Scotland Premieres Fri 28 Dec on BBC Two
In British comedy there is a line in the sand – and that line is Billy Connolly.
Before he found fame on an international level, British comedy was an end of the pier kind of affair. But through sheer talent and force of personality Connolly ploughed a different, and deeply personal yet universal, approach to comedy – and in doing so he changed the face of British comedy forever.
This two-part series Billy Connolly: Made In Scotland is built around intimate interviews with the great man himself and provides a unique insight into the early influences and motivations that made this comedy legend the man he is today.
Part one, of two one-hour specials, feature Eddie Izzard, Ross Noble, Micky Flanagan, Lord Grade, Tracey Ullman, A.L. Kennedy, Val McDermid, Sharleen Spiteri and Eddi Reader.
Billy Connolly: Made In Scotland is a 7Wonder production.
Airdate: Friday 28 December 2018 from 9.00pm-10.00pm on BBC TWO
