When I decided to watch this on DVD, I thought it was going to be mainly a live stand-up comedy show with only a little documentary footage put in, not the other way round. Billy Connolly basically travelled around his homeland of Scotland, while he was also doing his 54 date live stand-up tour there. So he explores all the areas he knew as a child and growing up, all the popular areas, as well as all the areas we do not get to see that often. So he goes to Glasgow, the Highlands, Inverness, Wick, Dundee, Edinburgh, and many other places I've never even seen or heard of myself. The landscapes and sights of Scotland that I've heard of and was interested to see are good, and Connolly with his charming ruggishness and affectionate accent is good viewing. But as I had previously only seen one of his live shows, I really enjoyed the small segments of Connolly's live stand-up shows. Billy Connolly was number 16 on TV's 50 Greatest Stars, he was number 8 on The Comedians' Comedian, he was number 1 on Britain's Favourite Comedian, and he was number 1 on 100 Greatest Stand-Ups (twice). Good!
