Andy Murray is terrified by Michael McIntyre

Andy Murray has a bit of a reputation in the public eye for being... a bit serious. So he'd be one of the more unlikely sporting icons that you'd probably peg on taking part in a comedy skit for Sports Relief with Michael McIntyre.

With the Big Yin set to hit 75 later this year, and a career taking in work as a welder, folk singer, actor and comic, an hour-long special barely seems adequate to cover Connolly's life. Nonetheless, this interview promises to reveal the comedian's thoughts on the art of swearing and the power of laughter, offer some brand new performance footage and feature famous fans including compatriots David Tennant and Andy Murray.

If only someone had laughed at Hitler, says the Big Yin. Laughter is so powerful that if just one person had snorted while Adolf was his ranting and raving, the course of history might have changed.

Despite his age and illness, Billy Connolly is still laughing. This show celebrates the comedian by offering us a big messy mix of interviews, clips from his stand-up and chat show appearances, and favourite memories of fans from all over the world, from East Kilbride to Qatar.

We hear from celebrity fans such as Eric Idle, Judi Dench, Andy Murray, Elton John and Peter Kay, but while these jolly messages are nice, the best moments come when it's just Connolly.

He is also interviewed, and he recalls how it was impossible to walk down the street in Glasgow without everyone saying hello ... and his wee girl marvelling at how daddy knew everybody!

Review: No Such Thing as a Fish

The podcast is good, but these Elves are even better seen live. Their offer of inoffensive, light entertainment is quirky and informative and while it could've benefited from a few cuts here and there, it's a reliably enjoyable, very funny and quite unique night out.

Review: The QI Elves at the Leicester Comedy Festival

The QI Elves' live recording of hit podcast, No Such Thing as a Fish, hurled a shedload of facts in our direction in an entertaining hybrid of impish humour, conversational charm and enough snippets of trivia to wow even the most experienced pub quizzer, writes Jasmine Henderson-Pennington.
