"Billy Connolly's World Tour of New Zealand" is the fourth of Billy Connolly's decade-spanning ‘world tours’ that follow the comedian on his various travels across the globe. In this tour, filmed in 2004, Connolly visited New Zealand and travelled 8,500 km across the country, from Stewart Island in the south to Ninety Mile Beach in the north. As he did on his 1996 tour of Australia, Connolly travelled on a custom-made Harley-Davidson trike.
The series was made up of eight episodes in which Connolly gave insights into the history and culture of the country, especially its Māori heritage, while also giving highlights from the New Zealand leg of his Too Old to Die Young tour. The leather jacket he often wore sports a skull with glasses, the logo of the tour.
Continuing his catalogue of nude endeavours, he bungee jumps from the Nevis High Wire in Queenstown.
The soundtrack, "Billy Connolly's Musical Tour of New Zealand", contained a track by folk singer Kate Rusby.
