Beloved Scottish comedian, musician, actor and storyteller Billy Connolly retired from live stand-up comedy at the end of last year, as a result of the progress of Parkinson's disease, the degenerative neurological condition he was diagnosed with in 2013. He's still working as an actor and has just released a book Tall Tales and Wee Stories which includes his most famous routines. Kim will talk to him from his home in Florida where he still enjoys fishing, drawing and keeping the local manatee population well fed!
