He plays such different roles than what he actually is. He is such a sweet man! I would love to know him.

[@bacul165]

You can get the whole story in Alan's heart-breaking book "Not my Father's Son". I highly recommend it - the audio book is a very special treat because of his lovely voice.

[@TheSuzberry]

It was delightful. Hope people see your recommendation.

[@angelatircuit2355]

I'm reading it right now. Second the recommendation.

[@brigidsingleton1596]

❤ Fortunately I was able to read his book before my eyesight failed due to cataracts... It was about five years later, when I could barely see a thing when I was able to get both cataracts finally removed, and my lenses replaced with artificial ones (just last year on 6th June & 1st September '23) so now I ought to pick that book up and re-read it - though I'd love to hear him read it, 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 if I could get a way to listen to an audio version❤😊

[@MS46Z]

I wish they could label all of these videos Part 1, part 2, part 3... it would be so much more enjoyable.

[@allisonmarlow184]

Amen!!

[@daniellekiey-thomas1327]

Took me 20 mins to find the first one, which doesn’t seem to have a proper start!

[@peejaymehr1018]

Is there no way to see all of them together?

[@PeterLundberg123]

My thoughts exactly.

[@Trissa.33]

Me too, I'm dipping about here from one to the other to try and find the first one!

[@IamaparsonnotaUwU]

His Grampa was so handsome I see were you get it from love you as an actor your mother is adorable thankyou for sharing amazing journey with us❤️🙏

[@nicolettacinci4106]

Alan is a lovely lad. Greetings from Inverness Scotland 😊🖐🖐🖐

[@wap9137]

Love Alan Cumming on The Good Wife. Such an excellent actor! Didn’t know he was Scottish!

[@kbh5889]

I would gladly pay for all the series if I were able to figure out a way to buy them here in America. I really enjoy your show!

[@annmitchell4663]

Doesn't the US have it's own series of WDYTYA...sure I've seen it somewhere..?

[@kbh5889]

@@annmitchell4663 yes they do. I enjoy that one too but would still be willing to pay for BBC version. :-)

[@erbhastings]

Kathy, I think you can go on Google Play Movies and TV to rent/buy

[@kbh5889]

@@erbhastings I will try that, thank you!

Just get a VPN and you can watch whatever you want.

[@enkhzayazundui1063]

Alan's mother ( lovely lady) looks like her father Tom Darling 100%. Wow.

[@laketiahollingsworth987]

Alan was one of my favorite actors from X-Men.

[@TaxTheChurches.]

Cumming’s autobiography was beautiful.

[@mainemanc1]

They’ve got the wrong medal ribbon on that MM. That’s the ribbon of the 1939-45 War Medal (very similar colours). The actual metal disc is correct, but somebody here has serious messed up with the ribbon. Somebody should tell Alan. Also I noticed there was no “MM” after his name on the gravestone. That needs rectifying too.

[@trishlong8835]

I think you can buy DVD sets on BBC website.

[@thomj10]

All over the internet and NO WAY TO BUY the episode!! What the hell???

[@Sonofgrievous]

Surprised they didn’t talk about his most famous relative Red Cummins - killed by Robert The Bruce in a church

[@Zebradeen]

So annoying that nothing else comes up on the right hand column of continuing this story! AND it is not possible to get any old shows from iplayer. I have tried, but they are 'unavailable'. maybe they are available in box sets, but it will cost a fortune for me to get all the ones I want to see!

[@suzawilo]

Same. These episodes really are all over the place. Some are available and then not. Love the series and the stories and would *love* to see them properly.

[@yeuxdal]

Is that Mark Strong narrating?

[@LadyKrissy8]

I wish we could watch these in America!!

[@joannekaiman3466]

I totally agree with you. I wish they would of never taken off air.

[@joannekaiman3466]

Kris I wish it was back on tv. I loved the show. We did have it on tv which on TLC cable channel.

This reminds me how much the Empire affected Britain itself.

Helo ... famous actors and actres i am seeing your vidio here so i wana request to you if you posible plez make lyrics vdio in simple way ... or motivatinal in easey way

[@salyluz6535]

@Tengrang Marak: If you want to see the words these people are speaking, that’s called Captions. For Captions, click on the gear icon in the top right. Choose Captions. If you want to see the words in English, click on “English.” If you want to see if captions are available in another language, click “Auto Translate” and choose a language. Sometimes auto translate works good, sometimes it does not. Lots of videos now have English captioning available, because it helps deaf/hard of hearing people, as well as people who are learning English. I hope this is the information you needed. 🙏🏽🌻

[@joanholg15]

Alan’s granddad was a handsome dude! Death seems suspicious.

[@murieltainter5936]

Why does no one talk about the fact that he was shot in the back of his head !?
