So You Think I'm Scottish? 6.0 (HQ)

[Jaspirita]

Just noticed something random. Do the Scottish tend to say, "Right?," a lot while Irish say, "You know?,"? As I said, random thoughts...

[0Gabbathehut0]

@Jaspirita Definitely, my brother just got back from Ireland and he really has picked up on that.

[Neumie7]

this seems like a good show for america to adopt. there is no such thing as an actual "native american" (even the indians came from asia, just a long, long time before the europeans), and the vast majority of people who came to america came to escape something, so everyone would have some kind of conflict or historically significant event in their ancestory.

anyway, loved this! i know what he feels like, with the conflicting feelings. i have ancestors on both the union and confederate armies

[ffbanana]

Who else upon immidiately after watching this video decided to look up their family history and background? Long live Tennant!

[AtarahDerek]

That was pretty cool. Thanks for posting.

[marisajts]

This whole thing was absolutely wonderful, David inspires me. I don't even know him but truly he's one of my favorite people on the planet!

9:15 ARE YOU MY MUMMY?

[clara2768]

Those images remind me of the Mexico City Masacre 1968 where hundreds of students were killed.

[TheSylviadae]

This story is (was) so sad, you never know about someone else's life until you hear their story. That's why I use to ask my grandmother a million to one questions. Love the history.

[TheHtmarshall87]

He looks like Desmond from LOST with the beard!!!! "I love yah Penny!"

[Aine91Bla]

I feel so bad at how disappointed David must have felt learning that he had sectarian ancestors :( and that he learned it whilst it was being filmed for a television show could not have made it any easier :(

He is an amazing man <3

[WoahCarrot]

That was fantastic! I'm so so glad I watched this!

I can't believe how much I've learned and how close to the doctor David really is and how amazing it is to see the past in the eyes of one family...

I'm actually amazed!

[WindstyleLuke]

I don't honestly think he had to do that much acting while playing the Doctor. His personality is just like the Doctor's.

[Annarkistable]

I watched this, just to hear David's Scottish accent.

But it was actually really interesting! :) thanks for posting!

[AnnaAnomaly]

This series is so interesting! I wish they showed this at school in America.

and random, but I hate the new youtube player.

[gottarhyme]

30 years later and the enquiry is still going on? What a joke! Someone needs tobe made accountable!

[lumosrock]

9:16 Are you my mummy??? lol sorry sorry i know its serious but could not help it .

[mirandasblog]

I'm very surprised at how much this reminds me of the Black civil-rights movement here in the USA. Very sad stuff.

[BaronVonLethal]

@mirandasblog We here in Derry were inspired to take action against our own injustice by the civil rights movement in America, especially through the speaches of Dr Martin Luther King. Its sad that this place has become such a racist shithole since.

[rowan729]

The Sectarian violence video at the beginning looks alot like black civil rights down south here in America. It was almost the same time frame too...

[waya7111]

This was really interesting. Everytime I watch something with David Tennant I love him even more. Thanks so much for posting (:

[Spiritofeowyn]

It's very interesting to hear about these great crisises in history from a personal family perspective.

[ClairegasmTardis]

anyone see the painting in the background till the end? "Are you my mummy?"

[23Glee]

@ClairegasmTardis, yes it's very funny violence and suffering.

[spacecowboy5000]

I learned more from this show than I did in my History classes. The personal, intimate points of view make it more real. And that David Tennant was my guide made it all the better. Thanks for sharing David!

[powerkisses]

is it THAT Mark Strong who's narrating this? THE Mark Strong? O_O

[ajmandmggfan]

That was a great show! I just want to give David a hug! *hugs David!* I feel for him learning all that about his past! David, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry!

Ok, I find it hilarious that at the end is a Doctor Who ad! lol.

[KharmaKhoma]

holy crap. The kid in the white number 14 kit is a giant!

[BaldGrace]

That was pretty wrenching, both the footage and hearing about Bloody Sunday from someone who was there. I'm so glad that the inquiry has concluded now- with the right decision, in my view. I'm also glad that this history is getting told in this show, so more people can hear it.

And God bless Derry city- I hope the European capital of culture thing is actually helpful!

[hardtoresist100]

Britian was invaded by Germans which is now english.

They arent from Britian , therefore, they should go back to

their own country Niazi Germany.lolx

[mrkekson]

@hardtoresist100 you talking shit m8.

 also interesting vid.

[Popsical246]

It would be crazy to have David Tennant knocking on your door and be like HI! We're related!

[purplepaperdoll]

I love that even if a part of David's family was involved in sectarianism, another branch chose to believe in a more peaceful ideal. The fact that the two opposites could be sharing the same blood and living in the same place during similarly violent times gives some hope for a better future. It shows that picking a side really comes from your own decisions. Also that people who 'are' enemies could be having much more in common with each other than with their current friends.

[xPrincessKx]

I am sorely tempted to travel up to Derry right now just to see if I could find his relatives and possibly convince them that arranged marriages are the way to go... and then casually mention that both David and I are single... :P (It's thoughts like these that are the reason for said singleness, methinks)

[QuiteIgnorant]

@xPrincessKx Hahaha I completely understand your motivation, don't worry! But unfortunately David's not single; he's still with Georgia Moffett. :( Bummer!

[xPrincessKx]

@QuiteIgnorant you just ruined my day, I hope you're happy :/ ;)

[TheJaeTee]

this was really very interesting. Both to hear about the history of Northern Ireland and of his personal family history. David seems so sweet and kind.  Really wish I could meet him someday.

[froggy710]

Thx for posting this programme. It is really interesting in itself. David Tennant is an added bonus ;-)

[GreeboSanders]

Wow. This was pretty intense. I can't really say much.

[maxdoggie628]

thanks for posting this! i believe that DT should wear a beard more often. :-)

[Madabouthugh]

This was shocking and amazing Thanks for Posting

[roose85723]

wow. its crazy that there's still problems now

[PaddySnuffles]

agreed. Let sleeping dogs lie people! Water under the bridge! yeesh.

[WIYLDEchild2011]

@roose85723 the Troubles have mostly passed now. As you saw, the children and young adults care little about each other's standings, but occasionally you hear of an undetinated bomb near the border. All of the murals in Belfast remain simply to remind the people of those terrible times.

[Annahojan]

Oh damn! :P Found out about and watched the this DT episode, actually nov 7th, to bad you put it up in better quality later like just hours after XP

[chloem86]

I saw him filming when he was in Derry!!!!!! so awesome.... couldnt get near him though

[PaddySnuffles]

wicked! how did it feel though, even if you couldn't get close? :)

[chloem86]

Pretty freaky... I mean its like a life long dream to talk to him................. I was shaking... I was like 100m away from him... but it was scary.....

[PaddySnuffles]

oooh, I can only imagine! *sigh* you're so lucky... Is he as hot in person as he seems? ;)

[chloem86]

yea.... and soooo kind too...... when they stopped filming he help someone with their shopping!!!! I wished it was me!!!

[PaddySnuffles]

@chloem86 AAAH Lucky! So do I! LOL *daydreams* ;D

[GentleSpringRain]

Thanks so much for posting this! It's great to hear David's scottish accent~
