David and Tracey write: Comedian Billy Connolly’s latest ‘Tour of’ series is all about New Zealand. He has already mentioned LOTR and will do so again, we are sure. The show is a mix of touring the towns and places New Zealand has to offer, interspersed between snippets of his show from his comedy tour of New Zealand. The series began on 20/11/04 and will run for eight weeks or so. He began in the south islands and will doubtless take in Wellington (and all it has to offer to LOTR fans!) in a future episode. Looks to be a good series, his previous tours of Austraila, Scotland and Ireland have been facinating and hilarious-keep an eye out UK Ringers, it’s on at 21.30 on BBC 1 on a Saturday.
