The Road
If there is one person who knows a thing or two about how to travel its Billy Connolly.

We catch up with Billy as he explains that when it comes to culture, for him, anything goes. Billy riffs on being made into an iconic children's toy, bad opera, even worse poets, portraits made of toast and swearing as an art form!
Fame
Frank Sinatra once barked at Billy, much to his delight and he once appeared as a murderer in one of TV's greatest cop shows. It would appear fame has taken Billy to some weird and wonderful places, all of which he shares in the last episode of this delightful series.
