BILLY CONNOLLY’S BIG SEND OFF

Exploring the inevitable part of life, Comedian and Hollywood star Billy Connolly is a big fan of life. He’s effervescent, energised and inspired by it, but he’s also genuinely fascinated by the way we as humans treat death. The series follows the straight-talking Scot as he explores changing attitudes, beliefs and approaches towards death, while also considering his own approach to the final curtain and how he’d like to be remembered. 

This poignant yet entertaining trip takes him from a funeral convention in Austin, to a pet cemetery in San Francisco and invites us to his favourite cemetery in Glasgow.
