Kong Does Billy Connolly….again
Kong animates comedy legend in a second series of ‘Billy Connolly Does…’ for UKTV
‘Billy Connolly Does…’ returns for further adventures and anecdotes about the legendary comedian’s 50-year career. Although retired from stand up, Billy’s presence continues on our screens, providing fans and viewers with a glimpse into his life. The show was commissioned by UKTV’s Iain Coyle, the Head of Comedy Entertainment in partnership with Moonshine Features. Each episode is themed, with titles Growing old disgracefully, Show business, and Heroes & Villans.
Kong Co-founder Bill Elliott said –
“We were bonkers happy to return with more animations describing the further adventures of the Big Yin. Not only is he a hero of ours, but these animated doodles play perfectly into our comedic sensibility.”
Moonshine’s Mike Reilly Said –
“How do you improve a Billy Connolly story involving a boring salesman, a rock’n’roll roadie and a bowl of trifle? Animate it.”
Comedian Billy Connolly Said –
“I’m really looking forward to sharing a few of my favourite moments from over the years… it’s been brilliant, and I hope you’ll come along for the ride!”
Iain Coyle, Head of Comedy Entertainment at UKTV, said –
“So, this is a career highlight, working with one of, if not THE, greatest comedians of all time.”
