Billy Connolly tribute When comedian Billy Connolly received a lifetime achievement award at the National Television Awards in January 2016 he remarked during his acceptance speech: "I'd like to thank Bill Tennant in Scotland, who was the first man to put me on television, and Michael Parkinson who was the first British man to put me on television."

Reflecting on Mr #BillTennent late of #STVNews & etc Delightful chap. He owned an hotel think it was #TheRoyalStuart, where I met him, his having given a room over for #CBRadio users to meet up in person. Billy Connolly tribute is lovely & doesn't surprise me.
