Comedian Billy Connolly is to film another travelogue for ITV1, this time driving along America's most famous highway, Route 66.Following the success of his Arctic journey last year in Billy Connolly: Journey to the Edge of the World, the star is making a four-part peaktime series, Billy Connolly's Route 66.
The comedian will take his banjo with him as he explores US history and music along the famous trail from Chicago and St Louis, through Oklahoma and Texas to Los Angeles.
Connolly said: "Travelling Route 66 has always been a lifelong ambition. It brings together some of my favourite things – my trike, my banjo and America. The ultimate road trip."
The series will be filmed in May and is produced by Maverick Television, the makers of Channel 4's Embarrassing Bodies.
