    In an evening of delights and insight distilled from a lifetime's viewing, Billy Connolly presents the people who have changed his life and the events that have influenced him. With comedy from Max Wall, Chic Murray, Frankie Howerd, Jimmy Tarbuck, and Stanley Baxter; music from Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard, Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie, the Incredible String Band, Andy Stewart, Eric Clapton and Elton John. Plus sporting moments from Glasgow boxer Benny Lynch, the European Cup Final with Celtic playing Inter-Milan, Jimmy Connors's Wimbledon comeback against John McEnroe in 1982, and tough time trials in the Tour de France.
