Billy Connolly - A Scot In The Arctic - Part 2 of 4

This fascinating TV special about Billy Connolly's adventures in the Arctic - broadcast in 1995 - shows more insight into Billy's personality than the beautiful landscape. There are some moments where he is alone, talking to a camera, and we get a sense of how he sometimes likes being isolated and enjoys his solitude. Quite interesting for a man who comes across as being so extroverted.

There is one part where he groans about the rest of the crew joining him during the day. He says its so peaceful and tranquil until he hears the sleds and noises of the others arriving. He almost comes across as a bit of grumpy hermit, but this doesn't make you love him any less. He is still entertaining, and he is still funny. There are some glorious scenes of nature and interesting trivia as well. Recommended if you want a nature show with a difference.

Maybe we should insist that all the worlds leaders spend 2 weeks doing this, and take them down a peg or two in their feelings of being superior, I can think of a dozen names already :)
