Sir Billy Connolly's long-lost documentary Big Banana Feet has resurfaced after nearly half a century and will be broadcast on BBC Scotland on 23 August 2025 at 9:00pm. The film, which documents Connolly's 1975 stand-up tour of Ireland, was believed to have vanished for decades until a rare surviving copy was located in a US archive and restored by the British Film Institute (BFI).
The rediscovery is significant for fans and historians alike, offering a rare glimpse into Connolly's early career when his unique mix of storytelling, satire, and observational comedy was gaining widespread attention.
