Shrink Wrap with Billy Connolly: Watch Online

Shrink Wrap is a UK television series where a shrink interviews UK celebs.
In this installment Billy Connolly goes on about his more innermost thoughts and feelings as well as giving interesting tidbits about his life including that he used to be a gang leader.

But here's the catch for this episode - Connolly's trophy wife (an actual shrink) is the one interviewing him.

Hmmm...I'm still not sure what to make of this program let alone this specific episode but here we go...

Google Video: Billy Connolly was, in the 1970s, a sort of Scottish Lenny Bruce, who, with devastating humour, sliced through the hypocrisies he perceived.

This 1976 documentary follows the singer-comic during his 1975 Irish tour. Made in a cinema verité fashion, the performer appears to be completely unaware of the presence of the camera in his off-stage and backstage moments.

Imdb review from The Hooded Claw

A great review of Billy Connolly's career.

Worth watching for the comments by his wife, Pamela Stephenson, Eddie Izzard and especially Sir Bob Geldoff's comments on Billy's "musical" endeavours. A number of the clips shown are taken from his recent world tour of England, Ireland and Wales which is a fabulous tour (including great lines such as "There's no such thing as bad weather, just wrong clothing. Get yourself a sexy raincoat and live a little.") but I would have included more clips from his early work. However with the factors of it's time of broadcast limiting the language that could be used and also the fact that the DVD of his tour is now out their decision is very understandable.

If you watched this, or are looking for it to watch, you will enjoy this because you already enjoy Billy Connolly's style. If you haven't seen it then I suggest looking for some of Billy's other stuff and once you've p***ed yourself laughing to that, then look for this. Or more of his stuff. Or both.

Billy's acceptance speech is brilliant.
