Billy Connolly's Big Send Off

Comedian and actor Billy Connolly is a big fan of life. He's effervescent, energised and inspired by it, but he's also genuinely fascinated by the way we as humans treat death. This documentary follows the straight-talking Scot as he explores changing attitudes, beliefs and approaches towards death, while also considering his own approach to the final curtain. Billy strolls around America's largest funeral convention, discovering the hundreds of ways that you can put someone in the ground, on the moon, in a diamond or even turn them into a mushroom! He also catches up with old friend Eric Idle to discuss how the Monty Python star's "Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life" has become one of the UK's most played funeral songs, and ponders what music he'd choose as a part of his own final send off.
