Episode notes

In the second part of this two-parter of 'The Lulu Podcast: Turning Points' Lulu continues her conversation with award-wining actor and presenter Alan Cumming.

Alan talks to Lulu about the big turning points in his life - two hugely important castings - as Boris Grishenko in Golden Eye, and as the host of Traitors US; learning some family home truths when he took part in Who Do You Think You Are; and becoming the Artistic Director of Pitlochry Festival Theatre.

He talks about how his dog Lala has become the real star of the Traitors franchise; what it was like meeting Tina Turner; and how he has learnt to be his authentic true self.
