It’s 1985 and Billy Connolly is chatting with the late Janice Long about his many talents, as well as his limitations. Billy’s humour and enthusiasm are here in droves, as he reflects on how comedy is changing and his love of eating alone in restaurants. Sit back and warm yourself in the company of a true great of British comedy.
