Sir Ian is somebody I’d love to just sit down and talk to about anything and everything and wouldnlove to just listen. I think he’s a wonderful man. I’m not a gay man myself but I fully support everything he does because he does it the right way and pours his heart and soul into it! THAT is the true definition of celebrity!

I know what you said is all well intentioned and nice. But the part when you proclaim "I'm not gay but" puts people off a little lol. People who are gay are simply born finding their own gender, as oppose to the opposite, attractive. It has nothing to do with your character, values or anything else other than attraction. A little tribalistic, but well intentioned I know :)

It about broke my heart when he talked about how him and Derek Jacobi adored each other and never knew! I had a love like that one time...he and I flirted and would just stare at each other from afar, but never knew the other one was madly in love until over 20 years later! It was bittersweet, but it was too late...so I could relate to the heartbreak he was referring to 😥💙

and here i was thinking he looked really good and spry to be in his 80s.
Love Sir Ian, he is intelligent, witty and a brilliant sense if humour. I love hearing him talk hes so very entertaining.
I love sir ian. He seems like such a kind gentle soul but with a little bit of mischief! I'd love to just hang out with him and just talk about everything and anything I'm sure he would have a lot of good life advice.
Man, I love Ian. He makes me understand fans that I would normally condemn for shouting "I loooove you!" to their fav celebraties out loud. haha
I still remember being a little kid, and watching THE SCARLET PIMPERNEL with my mom. She loved it, was one of her favourite movies when I was growing up. And when Lord of the Rings/X-Men came out, I was like, "That's Citizen Chovla!"
He's so utterly lovely. We have one degree of separation (mutual good friend). I hope one day to meet him.
Well that was the most charming/pleasant conversation ever.
This is the best interview i've seen him in, love this actor, he'd be great to sit down and have a pint with
In the good old days (70’s) when my parents were together Ian was our neighbour in camberwell, London

Regardless of copyright laws, it annoys me when a KZread clip cannot use the clip of the movie. Yes, I realize it's not the show's fault, but it seems... shortsighted of the movie companies to disallow the movie clips on KZread. It's just more free advertising to them. Alan is such a dear, and Sir Ian, of course, what a delight!
So much delightfulness in one show
The pat on the bottom at the beginning haha, 0:08.
Fabulous!!!!! thanks for posting!!
I absolutely LOVED Vicious, it's a wonderful sitcom and I bought every part of it! Thank you Sir Ian!
both of these men are absolutely wonderful people.
Omg the drink you only put a bit in then fill with lemonade omg hahahahhaha
Love these two fantastic actor and host
Sir Ian is just so charming , I truly enjoy every movie his been in and his such an amazing actor !
Can you imagine Sir Derek and Sir Ian as a couple? Oh my. 😍😍
Love you Sir Ian, from being Gandalf in Lord of the Rings, to the recent panto of Mother Goose I saw at the Lyceum Theatre in Sheffield, marvellous. I am 76 and took part in the cheering, the boos, the line: "It's right behind you" and the marvellous songs!. You are a National Treasure.🚩🚩🚩🚩
Mind you that Aavocat is only taken in shot glasses like Bailey's. You'll bloat up big time swigging that and riding the porcelain bus soon after.

Advocat is nice, but if you don't like the texture you can mix it with lemonade using about 80% lemonade 20% Advocat roughly for a "snowball". Really nice and easy to drink.
That was far too short! I wanted them to go on chatting for at least another hour!

🙆🏻♀️ Amaretto Disaronno! (In the 1990’s, I invented a lovely beverage, so I want to share it.) You will need: * A blender * Amaretto Disaronno * Mr. T’s Sweet & Sour Mixer * Club Soda * Maraschino Cherries * Ice Cubes Directions: Place your blender jar on the blender base. In the blender jar, pour: * 1 cup Amaretto Disaronno * 1 cup Sweet & Sour Mix * 1 cup Club Soda (Tweak the amounts to your taste) Add: * 6 Maraschino Cherries * 1T Maraschino Cherry liquid * 3 Ice Cubes Turn on blender and mix until you no longer hear the ice cubes being blended. Pour this gorgeous pink froth into a chilled glass….and enjoy!
