A great documentary and a great performance by Iain Cuthbertson. I have lived in the Middle East and Africa for the last twelve years and this makes me feel terribly homesick.

ye see yon birkie, c'ad a lord, wha struts an stares, and a' that. tho hundreds worship at his word, he's but a coof for a' that. for a' that and a' that, his riband star, and a' that, the man of independent mind. he looks and laughs at a' that. #geniuspoet
Radical stuff in the years after the French Revolution and the English King, Mad King George was feeling his neck, having lost the American Colonies only a few years before, and Republicanism in the air. But Burns Star has shone brightly long after the Hanoverian kings have been consigned to the dustbin of history
Excellent documentary - thanks for sharing, Robert Burns = Scottish finest
I played Burns in this, thirty years ago. We had a very enjoyable time there.

Can’t believe there hasn’t been a cinematic film of Burns’ life.

Appreciation for this clip, from Canada.
Very nicely done. Thank you for a balanced overview.
Dear God, this is an old production. Amazing seeing how much Ayr has changed!
I played Burns and have changed quite a bit too.
But Pleasures are like poppies spread,
You seize the flower, it’s bloom is dead;
Or, like the snow fall on the river,
A moment white, then melts for ever
A man, what a man, for a’ that.
Happy Burns-Day from Mannheim, Germany.
& from Santa Fe New Mexico US!
and from Oakland, California!
Then catch the moments as they fly,
And use them as ye ought, man!
Believe me, Happiness is shy,
And comes not ay when sought, man!
the way the man starts talking is a freaking 1000000000000000000000000000000000000/10

A “this is it” is independent of national problems but is a slogan that must be shouted!
Goosebumps.
