Advantages: 2 shows

Disadvantages: lack of extra's

For those people who live on another planet and have never heard of Billy Connoloy, here is a brief run down.

Billy Connoly is one of the most succesfull stand up this country has seen, he is very loud and rude which justify's the DVD's 18 rating. Billy is very rare in that he has managed to be very succesfull in the states as well.

No subject is Taboo, and bases his show on his outlook of life, and the things he experiances in day to day life.

Some of the subjects covered included Scottish football matches, religion and Glasgow drunks, the best thing is that he is very animated and brings to life the sketches he is performing.

sadly being a stand up performace from a T.V show, the DVD has very limited features.

The disc only has stero sound, and the only other feature of the disk is that it also includes one of his shows from 1994.

Sadly with these lack of features it doest really warrant paing the extra money for it in DVD format than what is available in VHS

Cheers BigDave. You op has been very helpful and helped me decide not to buy this dvd. It looks quite good by what you say but, as you also mention, it's a bit pricey for what you actually get. Cheers - monkeyking

What does richy77 mean by 'Shame he is Scottish!" - it's an integral part of his humour!
