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.
@walkabout16 Ah, fair enough. I thought he had a Furry Raccoon on his head, with the tail flopping up & down... He had a great Moon-Tan though !

@walkabout16 G'day... Ah, I see. Um, but he cheated. He wore Boots & a Hat ! He's right, though. It's a Reality-Awareness Trip to go for a walk without wearing anything... An extension of the Buzz to be got from Bushwalking Barefoot, but it's easy to get Sunburned. I had to laugh at him, in a Dacron Tent, & sleeping with a Cannon..! Them Polar Bears use Sumo-Wrestling moves. Simply jumping on the Tent, and chewing through to the Lumpy Bits.

He maybe white skinned, being a Celt he would be. But come on, that was below freezing and his little fellow was still to be seen!. Not many men could say the same!.
