 Billy at his best January 21, 2006
10 out of 11 found this review helpful
Billy shows us Scotland as a Scot with his usual quick wit and marvellous appreciation of beauty, culture and history. As a lover of Scotland this DVD has made me hungry to return. Billy's fitting sountrack is a mix of folk, balad, instrumental (banjo and celtic harp?) and his voice - so delightful that I am searching for any music CD he has produced. A happy combination of travel, history, philosophy and his usual hilarious performances while on the Scottish road.
 Scotland part 2 April 27, 2005

This was even better than the first three episodes, an absolute delight. I defy anyone to watch this and not laugh. Billy Connolly just has an ability to make his observations so funny but at the same time somehow familiar.Who needs Prozac? Get the NHS to prescribe this!
 Why 2 discs? November 24, 2004

I'm with the other reviewer - this is the best of his world tours. He's taking us around his childhood, rather than just giving us general historical information about the places he's touring. The other tours feel slightly laboured and as though he's fulfilling a duty. Here he's clearly having a great time, and is inspired and excited to be telling us about Scotland.But why 2 discs? When this was released on VHS it was all 6 episodes on the one tape, plus one of the tour performances, making a single 4 hour tape and one of the best value available. Here, there is no concert (why?), and for some reason the 6 episodes are spread over 2 discs - 3 episodes each. The episodes aren't high resolution so there's no reason for this. 5 stars for the episodes, but 3 stars for the poor effort in putting this on DVD.
The original and his best World Tour November 17, 2004

Billy Connelly is has a unique view of the world, and which makes his World Tour series so unique. This was the first World Tour he did, where he returns to his home country. It is not a tourist guide to Scotland, since Billy only shows what he likes himself, but it will leave you amazed about the beauty of this country. The episodes are a blend of Billy Connelly showing towns and nature, and bits of the shows he gave in these towns. There is also a full show on the DVD. In short, several hours of fun and a great introduction to Scotland.
