Billy connolly: made in Scotland

9.00pm BBC two

Billy Connolly changed comedy forever.

Featuring contributions from Eddie Izzard, Ross Noble, Micky Flanagan, Tracey Ullman and others, this two-part film shows how Billy forged a career and re-wrote the comedy rulebook with talent and personality.

Dividing opinion, especially in his formative years, he’s been called the ‘Jesus of comedy,’ and an immature ‘manure mouth’. This intimate and deeply personal film follows Billy as you’ve rarely seen him before.
