BBC One - Billy Connolly: A Scot in the Arctic

Billy Connolly ventures into the Arctic and learns to cope with the sub-zero temperatures.

Billy Connolly ventures from stage to ice - a frozen Arctic Ocean inhabited by ten-foot polar bears. He must cope for a week.

'The Big Yin' embarks on a big adventure, as comedian Billy Connolly ventures from stage to ice - a frozen Arctic Ocean inhabited by ten-foot polar bears. The Scots mirth-maker is armed only with a small flimsy tent, a video camera and a BBC film crew. Not an ideal way to spend a week.
