A NEVER-before-seen interview with Billy Connolly will be shown for one night only at cinema screenings of the comedian's final stand-up tour.
The "deeply personal" interview will be played in cinemas on October 10 to accompany the screening of The Sex Life Of Bandages – a recording from the Australian leg of his last-ever tour.
In the interview, filmed exclusively for the one-night cinema screening of the show, the Glasgow comic muses on his career, life and legacy.
The footage was recorded in 2015, shortly before his Parkinson's Disease diagnosis saw "the Big Yin" retire after 50 years of performing on stage.
Sir Billy said: "Considering I tend to die in all my Hollywood movies, I'm delighted to appear in cinemas and be alive and well at the end!"
Cinema locations showing the film have not yet been announced, but tickets for the screenings go on sale on July 17 and will be available at BillyInCinemas.com.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
