Greenlit: Billy Connolly’s Tracks Across America, ITV
Billy Connolly’s Tracks Across America (3 x 60′) – The iconic comedian and actor aims to circumnavigate all four corners of the United States on the magic carpet made of steel that is America’s rail network.
In 2011, Billy Connolly covered the two and half thousand miles that make up the famous Route 66 for a hit series (Billy Connolly’s Route 66). Now, he has set his sights on 28 states and 8,000 miles of cities, coast, mountains, desert and swamp. Rich in the romance of the American dream, this is a travelogue in the tracks of the pioneers who built a nation.
Starting and finishing in New York this three part series will see Billy head into the vast and astonishing landscapes that make up America’s backyard. Here Billy will meet a truly remarkable cast of people who capture the irresistible spirit of America and he will regale us with tales of his favourite kinds of people: outlaws, singers, fighters and dreamers.
From the Bad Lands of North Dakota, into the arid beauty of the Arizona desert, past the peaks of the Smokey Mountains, skirting the lazy swamplands of Louisiana – this is a big sky country full of places and people we rarely see but Billy cant wait to visit.
