A Great celebration of Americana
Billy Connolly has such obvious affection for U.S. culture that this documentary couldn't fail to be a treat to watch. Starting his journey in Chicago, he takes a leisurely trip through the States on his way toward California, always making time to highlight the many charms of Route 66: not just the obvious landmarks, but plenty of fascinating places that lie just off the beaten track. He really does justice to the wide open spaces, the cultural riches and the engineering marvels of the American past and present. Connolly's enthusiasm is such that if you've never travelled Route 66, this series will make you want to seek out each and every sight for yourself. Not to be missed.
Love Seeing America through an English Man's Eyes
My husband and I really enjoyed watching Billy Connolly's journey across America on Route 66. It is refreshing to see America from the prospective of a non-american's point of view. We got excited and wanted to take our own trip across America on the "Mother Road" after watching Billy's adventures! Thanks Billy, for reviving our interest in touring America !
Wrong Format
I made the mistake of not reading the fine print. It looks as though this disc is from the U.K. and so the format is not compatible with a lot of players in North America. It does not work in my PS3 nor in my friend`s BluRay player. The main menu will come up, but you can not get the movie to play, nor can you play the episodes separately. I recommend making sure you have a player that will play all regions for Blu Rays if you order.
