This is the story of how these two contrasting cultures came together to speak the same language and write a new chapter of Greek mythology."--Container.

Billy Connolly [dvd] : made in Scotland

Billy Connolly: Made in Scotland is a two-part televisual autobiography with intimate interviews with Billy, providing unique insight into the early influences and motivations that made this comedy legend the man he is today. In British comedy there is a line in the sand and that line is Billy Connolly. 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. Weaved around private interviews, these two specials find Billy returning to Scotland to reveal the influences and motivations that turned him from being Billy Connolly the welder to Billy Connolly the Big Yin.
