Miriam and Alan: Lost in Scotland - Episode Guide

They start out in Glasgow, visiting the street where Miriam's Jewish family first lived in Scotland, then journey north into the Highlands. Alan learns about his ancestral past at Cawdor Castle, they meet up with fellow actor Bill Paterson and stop off in Carnoustie, where things take a somber turn as Alan remembers his abusive childhood.

Miriam and Alan continue their motorhome adventure to rediscover their Scottish roots. Alan reveals he is on the hunt for a home to retire to as a showbiz recluse, but he is put off by the midges, so while he does a spot of house-hunting, Miriam goes all scientific to find a repellent for his tiny problem. The duo also record a song in the Gaelic language, with Miriam trying - and failing - to provide the percussion, take part in the Glencoe uphill mountain race and meet a pagan witch, who involves them in an ancient healing ritual.

Miriam Margolyes and Alan Cumming conclude their Scottish adventure making their way from Inverness to Edinburgh. Along the way, they visit Alan's mum Mary, and go rambling with her walking group in Monikie Country Park. The duo also get a lesson in `zen golf" from an old school friend of Alan, try a spot of cooking - with meat-free white pudding and kosher haggis on the menu - and head to Sir Walter Scott's majestic home in the Borders. In Edinburgh, they visit a cafe for LGBTQ+ people and reflect on their journey.

Actors Miriam Margolyes and Alan Cumming continue their trip to take in some of some of Scotland's most spectacular and far-flung locations, before later in the series journeying across the Atlantic to their other mutual home, the California coast. They kick off the Scottish leg on the Harry Potter Express steam train, before climbing back into their campervan to visit the Cairngorms. They also have a go at modern orienteering, have a close encounter with a reindeer and hook up with old friend Brian Cox at his old stomping ground, the Dundee Rep.

The hosts visit the Hebridean Isle of Skye, where Miriam and Heather first went on holiday together over 50 years ago. Alan takes the pair on a boat trip to see a pod of dolphins. Skye's resident wand whittler gives them a lesson in wood carving, and Alan gets in trouble with the seaweed king.

The pair visit a drug den in Santa Barbara where Alan takes a chance to challenge Miriam's anti-drugs stance. In Palm Springs the two play drag bingo and join a gay knitting group. Then they head to LA to meet with a relative of Alan's.

After a spa day for Alan's dog Lala in LA, the pair party Vegas-style on their final adventure of the season. In the Vegas old town they visit one of the only surviving original casinos El Cortez before Alan surprises Miriam with a cabaret show that leaves her speechless. A Dolly Parton priest conducts a `friendship marriage" for the two and they drive out into the desert for a final cocktail together.
