Stretching some 2,448 miles from Chicago to Santa Monica, Route 66 is one of America's most iconic arteries, and has attracted numerous aficionados who make the long trek. Billy Connolly makes the trip by motor trike for the first time to a suitably all-American soundtrack, meeting folks and picking out choice milestones along the way, shedding light, cheer and wit, and plucking out the odd tune on his banjo. This is the first of a four-part series charting a journey which eventually saw the Big Yin, now 68, come a cropper, suffering a broken rib when he lost control of his bike.
