The Review Show with Billy Connolly

Kirsty Wark speaks to Billy Connolly ahead of his 70th birthday. They talk candidly about his relationship with his father as well as sharing his views on Tolkien fans and more.

Kirsty Wark spoke to Glasgow's famous son just before his 70th birthday to discuss his latest acting role in Quartet, Dustin Hoffman's first film as a director. The ever-candid Connolly also talks about his troubled relationship with his father and reveals his provocative views on Scottish independence. Age has not mellowed the Big Yin, as demonstrated by his unflattering verdict on Tolkien fans and his unexpected take on method acting - flirting with Dame Judi Dench.
