Imagine
Part 1 - In a rare interview, Billy Connolly talks at length to Alan Yentob about his childhood in Glasgow and the comedy in everyday life.
Billy also touches on the beauty in profanity, dealing with stage anxiety, hecklers and growing older as a comedian.
Part 2 - In Summer 2011, Eddie Izzard became the first stand-up comedian to perform a solo show at the 17,000-plus capacity Hollywood Bowl. Imagine was given exclusive access to record the event.
Eddie Izzard takes us and his American audience on a journey through the history of the world, including a Tyrannosaurus Rex covering George Formby and the evolution of the human appendix.
