Damn, that sucks. He would a be a terrific Doctor.
Wow. Poor Cardiff...
That's like saying poor New Jersey.
Ooooy!
For some reason, I thought Cumming was also cast as the Doctor circa 2000/2001 in some Bill Baggs project for one of the local BBC stations as some sort of "backdoor" way of making Doctor Who (something Baggs was an expert at), until the plug was pulled when someone said, "No, you can't do that."
ETA: I was off by three years. It was 2004, and it was BBC South. Easy to see why the BBC scuttled this; the RTD series was imminent.

I actually googled whether that was his real name. 
Not to pull hairs but I've heard multiple times it's "9 months out of the year in cardiff"
Alan Cummings is immediately booking a flight back to the US LOL

Kinda reminds me of some of the actors who quit "Homicide: Life on the Street" because they hated working in Baltimore.
To be fair, as someone who works in Baltimore, I completely sympathize with their viewpoint.
