The Scottish comedian and former star of ABC's Head of the Class and its spinoff Billy discussed his disease in the new BBC documentary Made In Scotland. “My life, it’s slipping away and I can feel it and I should,” he says in a clip obtained by the Daily Mirror. “I’m 75, I’m near the end. I’m a damn sight nearer the end than I am the beginning. But it doesn’t frighten me, it’s an adventure and it is quite interesting to see myself slipping away.”
