I started watching this because I hadn't seen this episode yet.. it's slowly dawning on me that almost everybody else here is of the "Z0mg its David Tenant!!!111" type :)
@Kairuka Nobody in this film has stated she's an "expert" - she's being described as "local" and "historian", none of which is demonstrably true. Mull ( Gaelic Maol,) traditionally, is the stronghold of the Macleans and the Gaelic language was spoken there until recently . How would anyone recently arrived, and a non native speaker have any authority in 1000 year history of Mull. If you can't see that then your as illiterate on the matter as David Tennent.
@AlbaSiar And dead civilizations? I guess nobody has any authority on their history since clearly nobody is a native speaker of Latin or Ancient Greek. This suggestion is preposterous on its face.
@Kairuka The Gaelic culture in Mull and across Gaeldom is known by it's oral tradition .They didn't write much down, relying instead on stories being passed on through the family from generation to generation, by word of mouth. The "Historian" here, is demonstrably not privy to the nuances of the rich Gaelic story telling or musical tradition in the Isle of Mull - the ancestral homeland of the MacLeans of Duart.
@AlbaSiar And she could have very easily interviewed the living keepers of this history to learn it herself. In fact, that's what any good historian does to learn about cultures with a rich oral tradition that survives. You can share words with people who don't share your blood.
Omfg I cant believe he is a McLeod cause I'm a MacLeod lol from my fathers sid eof the family who is from the Isle if Sky who came to Canada a LOOOONGE time ago lol (but also scottish from my mothers side Helen Steward who is my Grandmother who came from Edinborough at the age of 18 or 19)
this actually makes me a little sad. i kinda like being so ethnically diverse, but i miss being able to narrow down my family history properly like this.
I really love David Tennant... I actually didn't know about the Scottish being chased from their own homes... This was an actual productive use of my time. Plus accents always make things better.
thank you soooooo much. I live in the USA so i had no idea they made this show over there like the states did. Amazing to hear him in his real accent. So lovely
He helped her with her coat! As vocal as I am that all women can do things for themselves, that is secretly one of the sweetest things a guy can do (especially in conjunction with offering their own coat).
@FuzzyWuzzyBumbleBear I have read the daughter is either Olivia or Olive, I've seen it both ways. idk, mb it's Olivia but calling her Olive for short? i really don't know, just guessing
Ha I loved when the Historian told him he should've brought the TARDIS! I would have been like OH MY GOD YOU'RE THE DOCTOR! LETS GO FIND WHERE YOUR ANCESTORS LIVED! LOL! He could make anything interesting! I would listen to David read the phone book! HAHA!
I love how enthusiastic David is. xD In the last video he was all like "Ooooo Skulls,I'm gonna grab one!" and in this one it's "Ooooo Lake water,i'm gonna drink it!"
Around the 4:58 mark in the middle of the painting the guy in the light brown coat to the left of the table looks a lot like David (watch in full screen), I wonder if that's a real painting or if they just photoshopped that in there to be clever lol.
Wow David looks completely like his father...
