0:00:09 > 0:00:12# No matter if you're young or old
0:00:12 > 0:00:16# With good friends you'll never be alone
0:00:16 > 0:00:20# Shining light on our joyful world
0:00:20 > 0:00:22# Ain't nothing going to beat that place
0:00:22 > 0:00:25# We call home
0:00:28 > 0:00:30# First days, new days
0:00:30 > 0:00:31# Are the very best days
0:00:31 > 0:00:33# New things to discover
0:00:33 > 0:00:35# New people to meet
0:00:35 > 0:00:37# Fun days always
0:00:37 > 0:00:39# Playing with your friend days
0:00:39 > 0:00:43# Life is for the living down at Apple Tree House. #
0:00:44 > 0:00:46That was brilliant!
0:00:47 > 0:00:49I wish we had that lesson every day.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51I'm going to draw a really cool tree.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55What kind of tree will you draw? A willow, or an oak?
0:00:55 > 0:00:59A family tree. Today we learnt about where we came from.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02- Ooh, and who we're related to. - I'm so jealous!
0:01:02 > 0:01:06I love discovering new things about our family history.
0:01:06 > 0:01:12Instead, I spent all afternoon unblocking Flo's kitchen sink.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15- CHILDREN:- Yuck!
0:01:15 > 0:01:18I already know that I'm Ghanaian, Scottish and Italian.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21- Anywhere else?- No, I don't think so.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23Don't forget, part alien.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Woooo!
0:01:25 > 0:01:28OTHERS CHUCKLE
0:01:28 > 0:01:30OK. Only joking.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32I don't look like a space alien.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Yes. You're right. You win.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43- WHISPERS:- So, how's it going?
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Best homework ever.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47- Look.- Very impressive.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50- What about you two?- Nearly there.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52- Look.- Hmm.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Not good.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59- What's wrong, Bella? - Nothing, I just need more time.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02Dad, Dad! Tell us about my great-great-grandad.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06He was a chief of a whole tribe in Ghana, right?
0:02:06 > 0:02:10Huh, right. Well, his name was
0:02:10 > 0:02:14Nyote Mpape Papafio III.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16- Cool name, right?- Yeah!
0:02:16 > 0:02:20I never actually got to meet him, but he was very well-respected.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23- And everyone looked up to him. - Was he very tall?
0:02:25 > 0:02:26Yeah, he was actually.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30But I meant everybody admired his wisdom.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Sing us the song he wrote. Go on.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34We don't know who wrote the song,
0:02:34 > 0:02:38but it's been passed down to Sam and I as a family heirloom.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41- A family hair-loom? - Like hair on a wig?
0:02:41 > 0:02:44No. A family heirloom is something special.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49Something passed down from generation to generation.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51Well, an heirloom could be anything.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54In our family, it's a song.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Handed down from my great-great-grandad,
0:02:56 > 0:02:58to my great-grandad.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02To my grandad, then to my dad, and then to me,
0:03:02 > 0:03:04and now to you!
0:03:04 > 0:03:08But whatever it is, it'll always be something special
0:03:08 > 0:03:11- that will always connect your family.- Like a pocket watch?
0:03:11 > 0:03:14My dad's looking after it for me.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16- He says one day it'll be mine.- Cool!
0:03:16 > 0:03:20My great-grandad used it when he used to drive the bus in Pakistan.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23- It has a lot of memories. - Brilliant, Mali.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25- What about you, Bella? - I don't know.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29My parents have never mentioned family heirlooms before.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32- You've got to ask them.- Yeah. - What if I don't have one?
0:03:32 > 0:03:34What if I have a boring family?
0:03:34 > 0:03:38Families can be different shapes and sizes.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41No two families are the same. You just have to ask.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45- There's no such thing as a boring family.- Hmm.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Well, I guess the heirloom for my dad is
0:03:48 > 0:03:50the remote control for the telly.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54- It never leaves his hand.- Well! If it wasn't for the song,
0:03:54 > 0:03:58the remote would probably be my heirloom as well.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01- Oh, are you going to sing us a song? - It's my favourite song.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03All right.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07# The roots of the tree can never be seen
0:04:07 > 0:04:12# But deep underground they work to keep the leaves green
0:04:12 > 0:04:16# The leaves on the tree face up to the sky
0:04:16 > 0:04:21# Drawing light from the sun growing fruit up on high
0:04:21 > 0:04:25# They live in harmony
0:04:26 > 0:04:29# Live in harmony
0:04:29 > 0:04:33# Just like family. #
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Hello, you lot.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37- Oh, it's your gran! - Sounds great, guys.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41It's a special song that's been handed down to Sam and I,
0:04:41 > 0:04:43as a family heirloom.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46- How lovely. Are you ready, Mali? - Yeah!
0:04:46 > 0:04:49I told Katie I'd walk Bella home as well.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51- Come on, Bella.- See you later, guys.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54- OK. Bye!- Bye, guys.- Bye! - See you later!
0:04:58 > 0:05:02Grandma, can you tell me more about my family tree?
0:05:02 > 0:05:04- It's for school. - Well, I certainly can.
0:05:04 > 0:05:09You know about your great-grandad. Your great-grandmother was...
0:05:09 > 0:05:10- An astronaut!- No.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13- Can you guess, Bella? - Was she a princess?
0:05:13 > 0:05:16No. But she was brilliant in the kitchen.
0:05:16 > 0:05:21And that's where I learned all my great cooking recipes from.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Did she cook special peanut chikkis as well?
0:05:24 > 0:05:25She certainly did.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27So I guess you could say
0:05:27 > 0:05:30that you have two family heirlooms, Mali.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32And I don't even have one?
0:05:35 > 0:05:39Dad, why don't I know anything about our family history?
0:05:39 > 0:05:43- Erm...- I bet it's because we don't have any cool history,
0:05:43 > 0:05:45so you have nothing to tell me.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Well, hello!
0:05:48 > 0:05:49Nice to see you guys.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51And thank you, Zainab.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Let me go and see what's up with our young lady.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Shouldn't you be asleep?
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Mm. What are you looking for?
0:06:21 > 0:06:25Well, I'm looking for a hug, as I didn't get one earlier.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27- Oh. Yeah.- And maybe a little apology?
0:06:27 > 0:06:29For how you came into the house?
0:06:29 > 0:06:31I'm sorry, Dad.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34It's just Mali and Sam have such amazing family heirlooms.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36And I got jealous.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39You don't ever need to be jealous!
0:06:40 > 0:06:44Do you know what my great-great-grandma or grandad did?
0:06:44 > 0:06:48- Erm...- I just have to know if I'm related to any princesses.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52Oh, Bella. I'm sorry. I guess I've never really thought about it.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Well, let's start thinking about it.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59- Well, maybe this is a good place to start.- Hm.
0:06:59 > 0:07:00That looks super old.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04- Who's that?- I don't know, sweetie.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06But I think he's a relative.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09I really want to know more about my family history, Dad.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12Well, what my daughter wants, my daughter gets.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14We need to solve this mystery.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18- But how?- Well, we could look on the internet.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20But I wouldn't even know where to start.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Hmm. I've got it! Zainab's good at solving problems.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27She knows loads about her family history. Let's speak to her.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31Perfect. Zainab's always full of brilliant ideas.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34But...shall we wait until morning?
0:07:34 > 0:07:36SHE LAUGHS
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Thanks again. Bella has really inspired me
0:07:47 > 0:07:50- to find out more about our family. - No problem.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53I'm nosy, and love to find out about everyone's history.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55I've no idea where to start.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58- Bella could be related to the Vikings.- No.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01I think I'm definitely more of a princess.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05What if you were related to both a Viking and a princess?
0:08:05 > 0:08:07Riding a big white unicorn?
0:08:09 > 0:08:12No way! Vikings get too dirty!
0:08:13 > 0:08:15I think I would just be a normal princess.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Queen of her dad's garage.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28I've got a couple of names, and then this box of stuff.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31- What's this? - Some kind of collector's card.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35- Is it a footballer?- Maybe. I found it in this box my dad gave me.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38Everyone in my family's football-crazy.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Great. Anything else?
0:08:42 > 0:08:46Let me get a pen and paper and write down everything we know so far.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49- Can't we look on the internet? - We could,
0:08:49 > 0:08:52but it's not as much fun on the internet.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55I think I know a good place to start!
0:08:55 > 0:08:58- Come on. Grab your coats. - I've got to get to work.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00But will you let me know how you get on?
0:09:00 > 0:09:04- We will, for sure. Won't we, team?- Yes!
0:09:10 > 0:09:13WHISPERING: Why are we looking at picture books?
0:09:13 > 0:09:15My family won't be in here.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17I don't know.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Gran! Gran!
0:09:20 > 0:09:22What are you reading?
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Wow, that's a big book.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34It's called a parish register.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38It's a book with lots of information about when people were born.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Does it have any pictures inside?
0:09:40 > 0:09:46I wish! But I managed to fill in quite a lot of your family tree.
0:09:46 > 0:09:47Thank you so much!
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Oh, don't thank me yet.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51It's just names at the moment.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54But it looks like your family has a lot of mechanics.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57Wow, that's a cool job.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00And I've got a great idea of what to do next.
0:10:00 > 0:10:01Sssh!
0:10:06 > 0:10:07Oops.
0:10:16 > 0:10:17What is this place?
0:10:17 > 0:10:21It's the town hall. Grandma Zainab says there are lots of books
0:10:21 > 0:10:24about the local area for people to look at.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28But we can't see them today - they are closed for refurbishment.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30- No!- But we don't give up.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33We take a break, and then we come back when it's open.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Come on.
0:10:38 > 0:10:39Come on, slowcoaches!
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Speed up!
0:10:41 > 0:10:43What's going on?
0:10:43 > 0:10:44The man in that picture
0:10:44 > 0:10:48looks just like the man in the football team picture.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51And they are wearing the same football kit!
0:10:51 > 0:10:53- Wow.- It's him!
0:10:53 > 0:10:56- Isn't it?- It looks like it. Let's see what his name is.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59G-r-eg...
0:10:59 > 0:11:01Gregory Johnson Hines!
0:11:01 > 0:11:03I know that name.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07That's right. It's Ian's great-great-grandad!
0:11:07 > 0:11:10- Wow!- Good mystery-solving, guys.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13Come on. Let's go and find your dad.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18KNOCKING ON DOOR Dad! Dad!
0:11:18 > 0:11:19Dad...
0:11:24 > 0:11:26- Ah.- Oh, hiya.- Have you had any luck?
0:11:26 > 0:11:29I've been thinking about it all day at work.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33- Would you really like to know? - You found something?- Maybe...
0:11:33 > 0:11:36- Bella, you're so cheeky! - Tell me, please!
0:11:36 > 0:11:39We think it would be better if we showed you.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41- Mm.- This way!
0:12:02 > 0:12:04- Here we go.- Guys...
0:12:04 > 0:12:09One question. Why are we here? England are playing Brazil tonight.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11You know - the big match?
0:12:11 > 0:12:14It's not bigger than what we found out.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16Bella...tell the poor man!
0:12:16 > 0:12:20Dad, we found out that the person in the photo
0:12:20 > 0:12:23was called Gregory Johnson Hines,
0:12:23 > 0:12:27who is my great-great-great-grandad.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29He was a mechanic like you.
0:12:29 > 0:12:35But at weekends, he was also a proper professional footballer.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39He was captain of one of the best teams in the city, the Rovers,
0:12:39 > 0:12:44who used to have a massive football stadium right here.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47Thousands of people used to come and watch him play.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49And he won lots of trophies.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53Wow! That's amazing. Thank you so much, guys.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56- You've made my day. - It was so much fun.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59I always wondered where I got my great football skills from.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02- Anyone fancy a quick game? - Why not?
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Ian, Ian! To me, to me...!
0:13:10 > 0:13:11Bella! Over here!
0:13:11 > 0:13:15Me, you and Bella must have the coolest families in the world.
0:13:15 > 0:13:16- No.- What do you mean?
0:13:16 > 0:13:20Everyone has the coolest family in the world.
0:13:20 > 0:13:21Yeah!
0:13:21 > 0:13:25Do you think Bella's worried that she's not a princess?
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Or a muddy Viking!
0:13:30 > 0:13:34- You're a good friend, Mali. - And you are a great friend, Sam.
