    Bumped into Billy, when he was sat outside (on his own) at a corner cafe, drinking coffee at midnight, in Xlendi Bay Gozo in 2003. He told us he had just made a film with Tom Cruise, (Last Samurai) which is why he had got rid of the purple moustache and beard he had been sporting around that time. He graciously signed his autograph on a cafe receipt and posed for a photo. He must have spent 3-4 minutes chatting to us. Lovely bloke.

    I had the pleasure of Billy Connolly's company in a garage after his Usher Hall gig in Edinburgh and he's a good guy just what you would expect. The girl on the till invited him in for a coffee and he never missed a beat. Two minutes in the door he was one of the lads. There's a certain irony when they say art depicts life ... it's spot on. Good luck Billy...

    I love the way that Michael Attenborough speaks to the guest as well as the interviewer. Most "STARS" are only interested in themselves. An educated man we should be proud of. Actually both of them because Billy Connolly is without doubt the best psychologist on earth. Forget Freud, Connolly doesn't need to write books to make a person feel better.

    Without question , Billy Connolly is the funniest man of them all. Absolutely side splittingly funny. I have been lucky enough to see him a few times and every time i was in tears of laughter. Anyone who does not think he is funny (see poolworld1 below) is either missing the part of the brain that deals with laughter, has had a full lobotomy or there is something else wrong with them. His travel docs are a great watch also. A shame that he now has Parkinson's disease, and will unlikely ever be the same again, but the memories and the jokes and the stories will live on forever and a day. Almost everybody will know one of his stories or jokes. Absolute legend who has inspired many modern, less funny, comedians to take it up. David Attenborough is also really enjoyable to watch, and takes a subject he is passionate about and brings it to the masses in a way few others could

    Gosh I love David Attenborough. I went to Leicester University where his father was the first Vice Chancellor because I wanted to be an ecologist being heavily influenced by Rachel Carson’s book ‘ Silent Spring ‘.
    Billy Connolly is SO funny too - a real ‘ working class hero ‘ and yet also a very serious actor with Judi Dench in the film ‘ Mrs Brown ‘.
