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.
