The 79-year-old Scottish comedian will receive this year's Bafta Fellowship on Sunday.
He is also a gifted travel reporter, making a string of popular documentaries.
"It's really important to work, to draw, to write, to walk silly for your grandchildren," he told Bafta.org, saying: "Doing the same thing you've always done is good for you. "I had no idea the fellowship existed, but I'm told it's a big deal. It's lovely to be recognised and to become a jolly good fellow."
