Anyone else watching this? It's very interesting and good on BC for tackling a subject many find taboo.
And funny with it!

Enjoying Billy as always although he does look ill/old/greyer than I'd like.
Say what you see.
Ah, you edited your post. Fair enough.
Perfect funeral song
He has parkinsons, apparently....
Really looking forward to the second part next week.
It's mad isn't - watching people striving through life to gather ppossessions and wealth, and for what? To die. Ain't nothing coming with us.
That is SO true.
The cemetery with family plots for $1M.....More money than sense springs to mind, but hey, if that's what they choose to spend it on, good luck to them.
I thought BC looked every day his 71 years, but I guess his health hasn't been great. Sad really, as I always see him as a larger than life character.
I agree not many people have the charm and intelligence to carry this subject but Billy certainly has and did it very well
There is no arrogance or malice with Billy he is ill with Parkinson but is getting on with life and taking it as it comes .I have grown up watching Billy Connolly as my dad was a massive fan
A down to earth gentleman
We may aswell all just kill ourselves then. Right now.

I think they do it to improve the quality of life for them and their loved ones.
I like the countries/states where they have a big party to celebrare the deads life, rather than being really dour, dark and mournful at funerals. The buildings that hold the ashes (I can't remember the term, sorry) was interesting but I still reckon I'd rather be buried.
Theres a pet cemetery in kilsyth country park
