[1975] Nationwide - “The Incredible Rise of Billy Connolly”

Nationwide reports on the extraordinary rise to fame of comedian Billy Connolly. Connolly revisits his old school classroom - the front row of which inspired some of his favourite standup material - and the Govan shipyard where he used to work, where he reminisces about his old workmates and considers some of the perils of his new found fame.

Made out like a bandit at the charity shop today. Two videos: #BillyConnolly Live in New York (2005) and #DogSoldiers, one of the best werewolf movies ever made.

Four books, including a rhyming dictionary which I will use for generating surreal and absurd rhymes; The Remorseful Day (seen a lot of Morse on television but read none of the books); The Name of the Rose; and finally K-Pax, by Gene Brewer, which looks very interesting. All for £3.

I'm at the end of a rabbit hole in search of #LewisCarroll's poem, #TheHuntingOfTheSnark.

Here is a splendid, restored musical version, recorded at the Albert Hall in 1987. It features #BillyConnolly as the Bellman and #JohnHurt as narrator.

May your Snarks never be Boojums.

I started watching Billy Connolly's Funniest Moments on Channel 5 something or other this evening but it was ruined by talking heads interrupting every joke to explain what was going on, often line by line.
I don't need jokes explained to me! I'M AN ADULT FFS!
Just let me enjoy the clips!

Some more brilliant comedy.

As well as making me laugh through my years, so much common sense from this man. Time to pull on my hat, coat, and boots ...

And I may have to watch a few episodes of Billy's "World Tour of New Zealand" later ... I have "a few" of his DVDs ... 😂
