Billy Connolly joins us for Breakfast

Billy Connolly, the super Scottish stand-up, joins us for a spot of breakfast. With five delectable decades under his entertainment belt, Billy's next film is called 'Quartet'.

Scottish stand-up comedian and actor, Billy Connolly joins the team for a spot of breakfast.

With five delectable decades under his entertainment belt, Billy shows no signs of slowing down with yet another big screen role. The BAFTA-bagging actor has had a busy year on the silver screen, with much more to come next year. He's coming to tell us about his latest role as a retired opera singer in Quartet alongside Tom Courtenay, Maggie Smith and Pauline Collins.

We are looking forward to lots of laughter with the comedic connoisseur and finding out whether he will be a super soprano or a brilliant baritone...
