Billy Connolly's World Tour Of England, Ireland And Wales Billy Connolly's World Tour Of England, Ireland And Wales
Billy Connolly's travel programmes have some difficulty deciding if they are records of ... more
his stand-up tours or travelogues interrupted by
the occasional comedy routine. Fortunately in
hisWorld Tour of England, Ireland and Walesthe two
elements complement one another more often than
they distract from each other. This series, which
sees Connolly traversing the respective countries
on his trademark motorised tricycle, is agreeable
if ultimately insubstantial viewing.That Connolly
is an engaging presenter is no surprise: he has,
after all, constructed a successful career from an
ability to get large numbers of strangers to like
him. However, probably due to the
here-today-gone-tomorrow logistics of touring, his
insights into the places he visits tend to be
fleeting and predictable: in Dublin he plays the
banjo in a pub, in Belfast he visits the shipyards
and the more picturesque Republican and Loyalist
neighbourhoods, in London he climbs the tower at
Westminster Palace that houses Big Ben, and so on.
Nobody who watches this, especially, if they have
any first-hand knowledge of the cities, is going
to learn anything they didn't already know.As if
in acknowledgement of the lack of narrative
weight, there are an awful lot of lingering aerial
shots of the locations. But with less money spent
on helicopter hire, and more time to get to grips
with the locations and, more crucially, the people
who live in them, Connolly could do much better
than this.On the DVD::Billy Connolly's World
Touron disc has a clever and witty interactive
menu map of the countries visited that also offers
an assortment of random trivia relating to each
location. The special features are a link to
Connolly's official Web site, and a chance to hear
some of the music from the series in isolation.

Billy Connolly's amazing World Tour Of Scotland!
Review of Billy Connolly - World Tour Of Scotland DVD by Chrishutchy

Advantages: On of his best World tour
Disadvantages: No extras

Billy Connolly has made 4 world tours in his time and this one may be the best of them all. This World tour of Scotland box set chronicles Billy's 40 date concert tour and his own appreciation of his home country through the eyes of this country's best comedian. Billy takes us all through his favourite parts of his home country showing us all the hidden gems of the historic country. We see the urban hustle and bustle of major cites such as Glasgow ...
...Scotland and its highlands. Plus as he travels the length and breadth of his native country he re-visits old places and discovers new ones. I think this part of his tour may bore people and they might just want the comedy but I think if those people really listen and watch what's happening they will learn about the beauty of the world and how different each country can be from the one they live in. In addiction to Billy's tour of outer Scotland ... Read review
