Billy Connolly
I have never been a Billy Connolly fan. I thought some of his stuff was very funny especially his take on 'Incontinence' but for some reason, I don't know why but l couldn't watch him. I found him a bit too much and irritating.
I was sad for him that he found out on the same day that he had prostate cancer and Parkinson's disease.
By chance, l saw on Catch Up a programme that was aired recently on ITV called, Billy Connolly And Me In Celebration.
I watched it and was shocked at his deterioration. It showed various people famous and unknown saying what Billy Connolly meant to them and for some, he had changed their life or inspired them.
It showed a lot of his sketches from over the years and they were so funny, l was no longer irritated by him, l even started to like the man! I was appreciating his work and talent but I'm not sure if that was out of pity as he is not the man he was?
Are you a fan of Billy Connolly? Did you see this programme?
