0:00:02 > 0:00:03There's been a death in the family.
0:00:03 > 0:00:05The good news is she's left us all a little something.
0:00:05 > 0:00:07- That's great!- Exciting.
0:00:07 > 0:00:09I mean, sad that she's dead, but that's great.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11- Well, yeah. Yeah. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:00:11 > 0:00:12And this is all yours.
0:00:12 > 0:00:15Well, hello, General Harry Chadwick.
0:00:15 > 0:00:17I've always had kind of a military air about me.
0:00:17 > 0:00:18- HE LAUGHS - What?
0:00:18 > 0:00:20I see the family resemblance.
0:00:20 > 0:00:23There's a fellow who deals with this stuff.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Your great-grandfather Harry Chadwick took the photograph.
0:00:26 > 0:00:29There he is - your great-grandfather.
0:00:29 > 0:00:30He's Chinese, man.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33This programme contains some strong language
0:00:33 > 0:00:35FOOTSTEPS
0:00:36 > 0:00:38DOOR OPENING AND CLOSING
0:00:42 > 0:00:44Look at the state of you lot.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48Like a bed of limp geraniums.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50'No wonder we've been getting complaints
0:00:50 > 0:00:51'from the public at large.'
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Do you want us to arrest them, Sergeant?
0:00:53 > 0:00:55- What?- The public?
0:00:55 > 0:00:59If they're still at large.
0:00:59 > 0:01:00HE LAUGHS
0:01:00 > 0:01:01'WPC Bullivant,'
0:01:01 > 0:01:05how many times have I told you to do up all your buttons?
0:01:05 > 0:01:08But I can't, Sergeant.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12You said you wanted us to make a big BUST this week, Sarge.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14'Nice to see you've got plenty of lead
0:01:14 > 0:01:16'in your pencil, PC Dawson.'
0:01:16 > 0:01:20You should see the size of my rubber.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Watch this.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24It's the Breen burn.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27No-one did a slow burn like Richard Breen.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29- That's probably true. - He was fabulous.
0:01:29 > 0:01:30Oh, you know which one you'd really like?
0:01:30 > 0:01:32You know what, Dad, just before you play another one...
0:01:32 > 0:01:34- No, it's called The Stakeout. - I just want to show you...
0:01:34 > 0:01:36- Stakeout's my favourite. You know that.- Yeah, yeah.
0:01:36 > 0:01:37Can I show you something first?
0:01:37 > 0:01:40Remember I was telling you
0:01:40 > 0:01:42that I had that photo that I thought was Harry?
0:01:42 > 0:01:44- Oh, yeah, yeah. - Turns out it wasn't Harry.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47But I did manage to procure a photograph of Harry.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50This is going to be a little bit of a shock.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52This is your grandfather.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57That's a Chinaman.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59- A Chinese person, yes. - That's what I said.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01- Ah-so.- Don't do that.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04- HE ATTEMPTS CHINESE ACCENT: - You want firework? £5!- Oh...
0:02:04 > 0:02:06This explains my aptitude with laundry, doesn't it?
0:02:06 > 0:02:09- Yeah. - No, this doesn't make sense.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Look, my father was no Chinaman.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Yeah, have a look.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Absurd.
0:02:20 > 0:02:21Do you think there's any chance
0:02:21 > 0:02:25that the Chinese gene can skip a generation?
0:02:25 > 0:02:27You know, like baldness or blue eyes?
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Well, blue eyes...
0:02:30 > 0:02:32I mean, that's one thing.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34But Chinesity?
0:02:34 > 0:02:36No.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40Strange, Tom's obsession with family all of a sudden.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44Hmm. It's probably just a passing phase.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46I mean, since Sarah dumped him,
0:02:46 > 0:02:49he's had a lot of time on his hands.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51One hand in particular.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55But, you know, genealogy is like any other ology -
0:02:55 > 0:02:57best left to the scientists.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59- No.- No.- No, no.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02You don't always see your ancestors' characteristics
0:03:02 > 0:03:04showing up in the present, in you.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06My great-grandfather was German,
0:03:06 > 0:03:08but you don't see me annexing countries.
0:03:08 > 0:03:09I'm six foot four.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12These... It just doesn't seem to make sense.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14Nah.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16HE SNIFFS
0:03:16 > 0:03:17"To the best..."
0:03:17 > 0:03:19"To the best..." what?
0:03:19 > 0:03:23I think it says, "To the best Nancy Doo in Love."
0:03:23 > 0:03:24That's a bit funny.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27I think it's a homosexual thing.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30But I don't... It might be code. Gay code.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32"To the best..."
0:03:32 > 0:03:33Nancy Doo.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35It's not... No, that's Nanki-Poo.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38Nanki-Poo is a character in The Mikado.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41So this isn't a Chinese person.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44It's a Japanese person. Well, it's not a Japanese person.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47It's an English person playing a Japanese person.
0:03:47 > 0:03:48He's an actor.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50- You know The Mikado?- I don't.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52- It's by Gilbert and Sullivan. - A musical or something?
0:03:52 > 0:03:55Well, it's kind of an operettary thing, I think they call them.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57It's Nanki-Poo.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59He's just a tea bag.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02And he's in love with Yum-Yum.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05Yum-Yum is with somebody else... Ko-Ko, I think.
0:04:05 > 0:04:06Are you drunk right now?
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Oh, it's absolutely bonkers. You couldn't follow it.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10It's like a foreign Teletubbies.
0:04:10 > 0:04:11HE SNIFFS
0:04:11 > 0:04:15My fingers smell of chicken tikka masala.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18- TOM:- Be gone, random old man.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21- DEEP VOICE:- Step forward, The real Harry Chadwick.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Who later actually gave up photography and became an actor,
0:04:24 > 0:04:27which is interesting to me.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Ta-da! What do you reckon of that?
0:04:31 > 0:04:33- What you done there, Pete?- Good?
0:04:33 > 0:04:35I've moved your old tat out of the way
0:04:35 > 0:04:36and put your lager bottles.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Also, I've got... You'll note,
0:04:38 > 0:04:41I've got the tall ones at the end
0:04:41 > 0:04:43and then the small one is in the middle.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Thank God. I couldn't...
0:04:45 > 0:04:47It was really... It was wrecking my head, that.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Well, it's better than that old stuff.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52- You know Nigel, who I work with at the zoo?- Yeah.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56Believe it or not, he's got 150 of these
0:04:56 > 0:04:59and they go right the way around the top of his picture frame,
0:04:59 > 0:05:02and they're all different and they're all dirty names.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06- So he's got, like, Hair Of The Pussy lager.- Nice.
0:05:06 > 0:05:07Old Bummer's Dirty Gob.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10- That's good. - Bishop's Finger Brown.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12- Mmm.- Thames Brown Trout.
0:05:12 > 0:05:13There's a lot of brown ones.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16Randy Goat, Fanny's Old Spot,
0:05:16 > 0:05:19Old Gobbler's Bum Hole.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22This is Nigel who's the manager of the zoo?
0:05:22 > 0:05:23No, harelip Nigel.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25That makes more sense.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27That guy is living the dream.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Well, not... Apart from the harelip.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32- Is he a married man? - He's not married.- That's a shocker.
0:05:32 > 0:05:33- Doesn't want to be.- No.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Eh, oh. Ah, right. Talking of marriage...
0:05:35 > 0:05:38Not marriage. Don't worry.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41I'm setting a lucky boy up on another date.
0:05:41 > 0:05:42- Fuck, no.- Fuck, yes.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44- Don't do it. - I can do it. I've done it.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46- She's called Tracey.- Oh.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50And she is fit...as flip.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Wait a second. Wait, wait... Hold on one...
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Harry died in Hove. Did you know that?
0:05:57 > 0:05:59I didn't know that.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02No. I've been busy doing something productive.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06"To the best Nanki-Poo in Hove."
0:06:06 > 0:06:08In HOVE.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11- He died in Hove! - He died in Hove.
0:06:11 > 0:06:12Not "in love."
0:06:12 > 0:06:15That's... OK.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17- We're going to Hove.- Hove!
0:06:17 > 0:06:21Lads' road trip. Boys up north on tour.
0:06:22 > 0:06:23Yeah, I'll drive.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30- PETE: The ticket inspector's come along. TOM:- Yeah.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32So we've had to go and stay in the toilet
0:06:32 > 0:06:34all the way from Margate to Paddington.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37And we'd only been eating fried potato sandwiches all week.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40So the smell was... Ow!
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Well, this is it.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46This is the house that my great-grandad lived in.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49- Isn't that weird?- Cool.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Probably tied up his horse here.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54- His whores? - His... Don't ruin it.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01He would have opened this gate.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05He would have walked up these steps.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12DOOR BELL RINGS
0:07:12 > 0:07:13Excuse me. Can I help you?
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Oh, yeah. Um...
0:07:16 > 0:07:19my great-grandfather Harry Chadwick
0:07:19 > 0:07:22used to live in this house years ago,
0:07:22 > 0:07:23so I was checking it out.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25There are no Chadwicks here now.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Oh.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Chadwick...
0:07:31 > 0:07:34I think I remember my mother talking about the Chadwicks.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36She's lived here since she was a child.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Oh, do you think it would be possible
0:07:38 > 0:07:39for me to ask her a couple of questions?
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Yes, of course. I'll see if I can get her to come to.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44- Oh, great.- Would you like to come in for a cup of tea?
0:07:44 > 0:07:46How lovely. Thank you.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49- Do you like Jaffa Cakes? - Do I?- I do.- I do, yeah.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Oh, have you got Garibaldis?
0:07:51 > 0:07:53- Jaffa Cakes would be great. - I pref... I like Jaffa Cakes.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56- WOMAN:- So, Mum, this is Tom.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59And he's got one or two questions
0:07:59 > 0:08:03about his great-grandfather, Harry Chadwick.
0:08:03 > 0:08:04Do you remember?
0:08:04 > 0:08:07The Chadwicks that used to live next door?
0:08:07 > 0:08:09I think he was some kind of a performer.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11I think he was an actor maybe.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20I... Yes.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22He was.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25And did you ever see him in the theatre?
0:08:25 > 0:08:28Oh, yes, yes.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31When I was a little girl,
0:08:31 > 0:08:34they took me to the...
0:08:36 > 0:08:37..the...
0:08:39 > 0:08:42..Regent's Theatre
0:08:42 > 0:08:44to see him in a play.
0:08:44 > 0:08:45Oh.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Oh, what was it?
0:08:49 > 0:08:51The Duchess Of Malfi.
0:08:51 > 0:08:52Ooh.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57No, no. No.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Uh...
0:08:59 > 0:09:04Sh...
0:09:04 > 0:09:05What was it?
0:09:12 > 0:09:13SHE EXHALES
0:09:13 > 0:09:15No.
0:09:15 > 0:09:16- What...- Sorry?
0:09:16 > 0:09:18What is that thing around her neck?
0:09:18 > 0:09:21I invented that. I'm rather proud of it.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24So she breathes, I can see she's still breathing.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28I saw him in a play with David Garrick.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31Ooh. Um, Mum, I don't think
0:09:31 > 0:09:32it could have been David Garrick,
0:09:32 > 0:09:35because David Garrick, I think, was work...
0:09:35 > 0:09:37He was working in the 1700s,
0:09:37 > 0:09:39so I don't think it could have been David Garrick.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Sometimes she's as bright as a tack,
0:09:41 > 0:09:44others she's completely doolally.
0:09:44 > 0:09:45Yeah, he's the same.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47I remember.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51It was Sir Donald Wolfit...
0:09:51 > 0:09:54- Ah.- ..not Garrick.
0:09:54 > 0:09:55SHE CHUCKLES
0:09:58 > 0:10:00I look upon the theatre as like a temple
0:10:00 > 0:10:03or a mosque or a church.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06- The chairs are a bit like pews and...- Right.
0:10:06 > 0:10:07..the stage is a bit like an altar.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10- I'm not religious myself. - Yeah.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12But, you know, I've been coming for years,
0:10:12 > 0:10:15and it's very much like we come to worship.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17And do you know what these seats have seen?
0:10:17 > 0:10:19- Mmm.- Hmm?
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Let alone the star dressing rooms.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24- This is something else. - It's beautiful.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30"I have always relied on the kindness of strangers."
0:10:32 > 0:10:34- Tennessee Williams. - Yeah. I love that film.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36- Really?- Yeah.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38- Marlon Brando. - Yeah, he's great, isn't he?
0:10:38 > 0:10:39Yes. Yes, he's...
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Have you seen Superman?
0:10:41 > 0:10:43- Um... - He played the dad in Superman.
0:10:43 > 0:10:48No. I just remember his ripped T-shirt in...in...
0:10:48 > 0:10:50in Streetcar...
0:10:50 > 0:10:53So weird that Harry stood here.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55- Isn't it?- Yes!
0:10:55 > 0:10:56And now I'm standing here.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58You're standing... He stood here.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00I just get goose bumps.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Yes, it's very moving, I think.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06I was told that he performed here with Donald Wolfit.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08No, no.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11He did perform here with Laurence Olivier.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14- No!- Yes. Sir Laurence.
0:11:14 > 0:11:15- Oh, my God.- No, I know.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19And earlier today we were going through the records
0:11:19 > 0:11:22and we actually found a programme.
0:11:22 > 0:11:23There you go.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26He acted opposite Laurence Olivier?
0:11:26 > 0:11:28- Yes, he did.- That's crazy.
0:11:28 > 0:11:29It's amazing.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32- Laurence Olivier. - Yes, there he is.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Sir Laurence, aw.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42- Harry Chadwick! - Harry Chadwick.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44"Greek Soldiers."
0:11:44 > 0:11:47Yes, but on the same stage as Laurence Olivier,
0:11:47 > 0:11:49so that's...you know, that's wonderful.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52And you know what, it was probably just the start of his career.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Uh, no.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58No, I think it was sort of towards the end, the peak of his career.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01But that's because, actually, Harry was mainly known
0:12:01 > 0:12:02for his light entertainment work,
0:12:02 > 0:12:04his comedic work, you see.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06- Ah, I see. He was more of a... - Yes.
0:12:06 > 0:12:07Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Yeah. HE SCREAMS
0:12:09 > 0:12:10Oh, my God! What...what are you doing?
0:12:10 > 0:12:12- I'm... - Just don't touch anything!
0:12:12 > 0:12:14- Leave it! Leave it! - It's come off.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16It's very dangerous here. Just back away.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19- No, no, please.- That's not even attached on that side.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22I'm sorry. This theatre is something of a labyrinth.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Ah, here we are. Ta-da!
0:12:24 > 0:12:26- Oh, wow.- Guess.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Oh.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33Um...
0:12:33 > 0:12:36- There?- No.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39- The guy in the hat?- No.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Here he is.
0:12:41 > 0:12:45And, more specifically, here he is.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47He was the back end of a pantomime horse.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49- Shut up.- Yes.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51And in theatrical parlance, that's known as the tail end.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54- Right. - And his partner, Sid Balducci,
0:12:54 > 0:12:56was the front end, the gob-ender.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59- The gob-ender.- Yes, and they were together for about 20 years.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01- He did this for 20 years?- 20 years.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04- Wow.- And they were very, very, very well respected.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07Yeah, I'm getting a lot of respect from the photo.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09This is a production of Hamlet?
0:13:09 > 0:13:11I...I don't think so.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13I don't think so either. I was really joking.
0:13:13 > 0:13:14No, but I know someone who does know.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17- Yeah.- Mitch!
0:13:17 > 0:13:18Mitch! HE LAUGHS
0:13:18 > 0:13:19Shut up. Don't.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21We need your help.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25This is Pete and this is Tom Chadwick,
0:13:25 > 0:13:28great-grandson of Harry Chadwick.
0:13:29 > 0:13:30It's an honour to meet you.
0:13:30 > 0:13:31Oh, thank you.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33- Hello, Pete. - Hello. I'm Pete.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Oh, isn't Harry on this?
0:13:35 > 0:13:37Do you know, he is.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40This is our centenary DVD. We're very proud of it.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42- Harry made the best of?- Yes.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45- Oh.- Harry is indeed on there.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47As you can see, there are some other acts to go through.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49This is a dog act.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51Nobody liked to follow animal acts.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54- Oh, the mess.- Impossible to lift the audience afterwards.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56BeastEnders.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Beast... like EastEnders.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Yeah, I think they got it. I think they got it.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Ah, now this is Little Tich
0:14:02 > 0:14:06who was famous for dancing on stilts.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08- Up he goes.- Wow.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Indeed. Seems to be pretty much all he did.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14Ah, yes, and the famous regurgitator, Hadji Ali.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16You'd have thought "regurgitator" would put the audience off,
0:14:16 > 0:14:19- but they seemed to... - Ho!- ..enjoy it.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22- Look at that.- I can do that. - My favourite act of all -
0:14:22 > 0:14:24the women throwing the handkerchief.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28- Aw.- A friend of mine told me they rehearsed for eight years to get this act right.
0:14:28 > 0:14:29She just dropped it.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31I think you can see the result, yes.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33She might have needed nine years.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35And that's what... the three of them...
0:14:35 > 0:14:38- Yeah. - They throw the hand... And then...
0:14:38 > 0:14:39Yes.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42Ah, now, this is Wilson and Keppel
0:14:42 > 0:14:45without Betty, with whom they often appeared.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48As you see, they were very close.
0:14:48 > 0:14:49We could do that.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52And now the piece de resistance.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54- Hey!- Yes.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57Here they are, Chadwick and Balducci.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Note the billing order, please.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01- Oh.- Alphabetical.
0:15:01 > 0:15:02No, no, no, no.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05Oh, no, B before C except... No, B before C.
0:15:05 > 0:15:06- You got it, didn't you?- Got it.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09And this, as you see, is their signature curtain call
0:15:09 > 0:15:13where they came downstage with Harry waving
0:15:13 > 0:15:14the horse's tail at the audience.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16- HE LAUGHS - He's walking backwards.
0:15:16 > 0:15:17And waving his tail.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19- Oh.- Yeah. Very fetching.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Brilliant.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Would you say that out of all the rear-enders
0:15:24 > 0:15:26he would have been one of the better ones?
0:15:28 > 0:15:31Do you know, I think I can say he was the best.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33- Ooh.- Aw.
0:15:33 > 0:15:34Oh!
0:15:34 > 0:15:37(Why don't we show them the costume?)
0:15:37 > 0:15:39- Why not? - We've got such a treat for you.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41- Why don't you follow us? Come on.- Follow us.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45It's just like an Aladdin's cave for me.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47Wow. All this stuff.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49Haven't worn this for years.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51PETE GRUNTS
0:15:51 > 0:15:53Here it is.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55- Oh, my God.- Ooh!
0:15:55 > 0:15:59And every year they used to enter the annual pantomime horse race.
0:15:59 > 0:16:00Really quite historic.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02- It's been run for nearly 100 years. - Wow.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04And they won nine years in a row.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06So, were they as close offstage as they were on?
0:16:08 > 0:16:09Uh-oh.
0:16:09 > 0:16:14Actually, they did have a terrible falling out.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17It had been brewing for some time.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20And the word is that on this particular day,
0:16:20 > 0:16:23Sid ate a very strong curry before the show.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25You see, and Harry being the legs
0:16:25 > 0:16:27and then Sid was the front and he was...
0:16:27 > 0:16:29He would have gotten it right in the... Yeah.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31- Not pleasant. - Personal hygiene wasn't good then.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34- Got it.- I don't think they worked together again after that.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36- He farted. - Yeah, I know. We got that, Pete.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39- Yes, thank you.- The one in the front to the one in the back.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42Yes, we worked it out.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45I guess that's a real faux pas in the horse world.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48Well, yes. It's a sort of strike against you.
0:16:48 > 0:16:49Is this something that I could buy off you?
0:16:49 > 0:16:53Well, we don't normally sell costumes, but...
0:16:53 > 0:16:55I think under the circumstances,
0:16:55 > 0:16:57as it's a rich piece of your family history,
0:16:57 > 0:17:01- in exchange perhaps for a donation to the theatre?- Yeah.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Thanks so much for these.
0:17:03 > 0:17:04Oh, no, it's been lovely.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06- It's quite exciting for us. - Yeah, yeah.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08- Thanks again.- Thank you.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10This is a bit difficult and strictly entre nous,
0:17:10 > 0:17:13but apparently the real reason Harry and Sid fell out
0:17:13 > 0:17:16was because Elsie, Harry's wife, had an affair with Sid.
0:17:16 > 0:17:17- No.- Yes.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20- Oh, my God.- I know. And apparently, after Harry died,
0:17:20 > 0:17:23Sid and Elsie got married and then left the area.
0:17:25 > 0:17:26I know.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28That's so sad.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30- But I thought you should know.- Yeah.
0:17:30 > 0:17:31Yes. Mmm.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34- Poor Harry.- Poor Harry, yes.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36- Well, thanks for letting me know. - No, no, no.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38- It's actually really useful. - It's a pleasure, you know.
0:17:38 > 0:17:42Travel safe and, you know, pop in if you're in the environs.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44There's tea all the time, caramel slices, everything.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46- Exciting for us. Yeah.- Yeah, yeah.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48- Thank you.- Bye.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50- Bye.- Bye.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52Aw.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54ALL SHOUT
0:17:54 > 0:17:55- Chip in!- Go on, there!
0:17:55 > 0:17:57I mean, the news about Harry
0:17:57 > 0:17:59really just hit me for four, you know.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01It's weird.
0:18:01 > 0:18:06I kind of felt very connected to him in that moment.
0:18:06 > 0:18:10And I've decided, as a legacy,
0:18:10 > 0:18:11as a tribute to Harry,
0:18:11 > 0:18:15that we are going to run the Costume Horse Derby.
0:18:18 > 0:18:19And we're going to take it seriously.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21You know, we want to win,
0:18:21 > 0:18:26because we are stepping... running in the footstep...
0:18:26 > 0:18:30the hoof-steps of a legend.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33I can't hear anything and I have very limited vision.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35Let's do this thing!
0:18:38 > 0:18:39It's me.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43- Did they know?- Yeah.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48They look a bit vulnerable out there, don't they?
0:18:48 > 0:18:51Doing something so outlandish in public.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54Hello? Hello?
0:18:54 > 0:18:57Yeah, but this is less conspicuous.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00- Don't stop too suddenly, because I'll go right up you.- I won't.
0:19:00 > 0:19:01Three, two, one.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03- BOTH: Run. - Ow!
0:19:03 > 0:19:06They haven't quite got the movement of the horse down.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09- Are they going to go crawl? - I'm not sure.
0:19:09 > 0:19:10- Right!- Left!
0:19:10 > 0:19:12Right. Why are you saying...?
0:19:12 > 0:19:15I just find it interesting that my grandfather was...
0:19:15 > 0:19:17my great-grandfather...
0:19:17 > 0:19:21- Harry.- Harry. ..was in the theatre.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23- Is it giving you ideas? - Monkey's been telling me
0:19:23 > 0:19:26we should start to tread the boards ourselves.
0:19:26 > 0:19:27Well, I think I've got it in my blood.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29- Well, it's my blood.- My blood.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32- My blood.- She's so weird.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35But I think... I'm not sure if I'm ready
0:19:35 > 0:19:37to share him with the world.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40- She wants to keep me locked up to herself.- Well...
0:19:40 > 0:19:43MAN: Come on.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Hey, look! It's Tony Evans!
0:19:45 > 0:19:47Eeyore! Eeyore!
0:19:47 > 0:19:49Give him the ball. Yeah!
0:19:50 > 0:19:53- MAN: Let him have a shot. - Ow! What the fuck was that?!
0:19:54 > 0:19:56It's funny, because this weekend
0:19:56 > 0:19:59I'm going... I'm going trekking with some friends.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01- Oh.- We go to the countryside,
0:20:01 > 0:20:05because I've got this thing where I really like bones.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07And so do my friends.
0:20:07 > 0:20:11We go to the countryside at the weekend
0:20:11 > 0:20:16and we find little patches and we dig them up.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18It's different, isn't it? It's different.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20Some girls are into shoes.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24- Yeah.- Or, "I really like scarves," or something.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26And I just... I'm just really into bones.
0:20:26 > 0:20:27- That's interesting.- Yeah.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Once you say you like bones,
0:20:29 > 0:20:32you will see them everywhere.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34- I hadn't thought about that. - Yeah. Roadkill.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37There's roadkill. For sure they've got bones in those, don't they?
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Yeah, plenty, and that's just like free bones.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41It's like they're just on the side.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43- Do you buy bones? - Well, not directly,
0:20:43 > 0:20:46but sometimes you get them as a by-product.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48Like, if I were to offer you a bucket,
0:20:48 > 0:20:49what would you take out of it?
0:20:49 > 0:20:51- What bit of meat?- Breast.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53- It's the breast, isn't it? - Yeah, it's the tastiest.
0:20:53 > 0:20:54Straight to the breast. Straight, always.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56- Right in there. - You're wrong, though.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58You go for the leg, you get the free bone.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Free bone.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03- So it's...- Sometimes you get a bone with the breast.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07- No, because...- It's not as...
0:21:07 > 0:21:10- It's not. If you've got... - Not in a pure breast.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12No, that's why you have to go for the legs.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15- Yeah, the legs are good.- Yeah.
0:21:15 > 0:21:16They're quite sexy.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18Oh, I hadn't thought of them in a sexual way.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22- I feel a bit funny saying this on a first date.- Yeah.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24I always think no-one really talks about
0:21:24 > 0:21:27how quite sort of sensual a bone...like, to look at.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31- Mm-hmm.- The curves of it are really quite lovely.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33Like a vertebrae, for example.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35- It's a great bone. - It's a great bone.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37- Yeah.- No, but it really is.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40- Mm-hmm. - One of my favourites, I'd say.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43What's... What would be your favourite bone?
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Oh...uh, femur? Like, a femur bone?
0:21:45 > 0:21:47- That's a good one. - That's a bone, isn't it?
0:21:47 > 0:21:49- Yeah, that's a really good one. - Yeah.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52- I like a clavicle as well.- Yeah?
0:21:52 > 0:21:55Mmm. I've got quite pronounced clavicles.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57- You can see. If I do that... - Yeah.
0:21:57 > 0:22:02If I do that, you can really... you really notice how the clavicles
0:22:02 > 0:22:03- are quite... - They're massive, aren't they?
0:22:03 > 0:22:05- ..pronounced, aren't they? - Yeah, they are. Yeah.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07- You can see, can't you? - Yeah, they're right...
0:22:07 > 0:22:10You could probably... Like, you could put...you could put...
0:22:10 > 0:22:11- What are you...?- If you could...
0:22:11 > 0:22:13- Yeah?- Go on, put some. Put... Go on, have a...
0:22:13 > 0:22:15- Put salt in there?- Yeah, see.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18- Just put...- All right.
0:22:18 > 0:22:19See?
0:22:19 > 0:22:21- There we go. There we go. - Yeah, you see?
0:22:21 > 0:22:23It's in there, yeah?
0:22:23 > 0:22:25I just put salt in your clavicle.
0:22:25 > 0:22:29Just kind of tumbling out there.
0:22:29 > 0:22:30Ooh.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32Fuckin' salt all over you.
0:22:32 > 0:22:33- Still in there as well.- Yeah.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36I'll just keep it. Put some on my dinner.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38Have I gone too far with the...?
0:22:38 > 0:22:40You seem a bit upset.
0:22:40 > 0:22:41It's...it's fascinating.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44It's fascinating, but it's...
0:22:44 > 0:22:47- Overwhelming. - It's fucking so much bone.
0:22:47 > 0:22:48Like, it's more bone than...
0:22:48 > 0:22:51I don't know if I was ready for it.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54Out in the real world just talking about bones
0:22:54 > 0:22:56and pouring salt on each other.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58I don't know if I'm able...
0:22:58 > 0:23:01I just don't know if I'm able for it.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03I don't just talk about bones.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05That's all you've talked about tonight.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07I can talk about other things like stones.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Well, there you go.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11- TANNOY:- This year's first-time contender,
0:23:11 > 0:23:13Harry's End, owned by Tom Chadwick,
0:23:13 > 0:23:15is currently at eight to one.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18Last year's runner-up, Panda Expression,
0:23:18 > 0:23:19is at four to one.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22And Jim the Giraffe, today's joint favourite,
0:23:22 > 0:23:23is now at five to three.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26MAN: The Pantomime Horse Race has been going nearly 100 years.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29The first time it was held was 1919,
0:23:29 > 0:23:30just after the Great War.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33This was an amazing way of cheering everyone up
0:23:33 > 0:23:36with a wonderful event of happiness
0:23:36 > 0:23:38and sporting activity.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41During the Second World War, there was a scarcity of horses
0:23:41 > 0:23:45and we had to open the doors to other animals -
0:23:45 > 0:23:48cows, the odd pig.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51I drew the line a couple of years ago when a camel wanted to run.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53I thought, "That's a little bit unfair."
0:23:53 > 0:23:56The chap behind got to stand up, head in the hump.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59And I thought, "No, that's an advantage too far."
0:23:59 > 0:24:01- I'm feeling pretty confident. - I'm feeling strong.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03There's a lot of good crews out there.
0:24:03 > 0:24:04- There's no doubt about that.- Yeah.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06I can see a little bit through the mouth.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08And we did the circuit.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11And there's a couple of crews that are looking strong.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13Although there's a guy just in a giraffe...
0:24:13 > 0:24:15- Jim the Giraffe.- He's just...
0:24:15 > 0:24:17- That's just one guy. - He's just one guy. He's got two legs.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20We haven't costume raced before, but you don't need to be an expert
0:24:20 > 0:24:22- to see the difference between two and four.- There's a difference.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25- TANNOY:- The going here today is soft to firm.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28Jim the Giraffe looks like he could win by a neck.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31Uncle Ned is primed to go.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34Daisy Cow looks like an udder good contender.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36And Harry's End seems eager to get under way.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38I'm really excited, Keith.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40- Remember that when they cross...- All right, Tom!
0:24:40 > 0:24:41..the finish line, the front and the back end...
0:24:41 > 0:24:44- KEITH: Showtime!- ..of the horses must be attached.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46- They're all in line now and... - GUNSHOT
0:24:46 > 0:24:48- KEITH: Go, Tom!- ..away they go!
0:24:48 > 0:24:51Panda Expression is showing a good early pace
0:24:51 > 0:24:53in the middle of the pack,
0:24:53 > 0:24:55but Jim the Giraffe is taking the lead
0:24:55 > 0:24:58with Kedgeree Breakfast and Uncle Ned bringing up the rear.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02- Oh! Aw, and Harry's End has fallen badly.- Foul! Get up!
0:25:02 > 0:25:05It's Jim the Giraffe followed by Panda Expression
0:25:05 > 0:25:08- as Harry's End tries in vain to catch up.- Good recovery.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11All right. Bloody hell.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13This fucking cramp.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15- This cramp just hit...- I told you...
0:25:15 > 0:25:18- Yeah, I know. - ..that giraffe would win.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21Two legs. A biped versus...fourpeds.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23How is that fair?
0:25:25 > 0:25:27And that panda. It was miles away.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29- I couldn't see him.- Tiny...
0:25:29 > 0:25:32- He was like a dot.- I couldn't see him. I couldn't see anything.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48He was only 55 when he died.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51Sad.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53He died so young with a broken heart
0:25:53 > 0:25:56and lungs full of the flatulence of his betrayer.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04It wasn't your fault, Harry.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10You and me.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12What a pair of cuckolds.
0:26:20 > 0:26:24This is his...his mum and dad,
0:26:24 > 0:26:26Charles and Rebecca Chadwick.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28Died in the '20s.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30Weirdly, there's no...
0:26:30 > 0:26:34there's no date of birth on the tombstones.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37I wonder what we'll find out about them.
0:26:37 > 0:26:38The way things are going, we'll find out
0:26:38 > 0:26:40that Rebecca was probably a stripper.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46Rest well, Harry,
0:26:46 > 0:26:47with your tail held high.
0:26:55 > 0:27:00# When I found you I found myself
0:27:00 > 0:27:05# I was going to love you like nobody else
0:27:05 > 0:27:09# But I never really had a clue
0:27:09 > 0:27:13# How to love a girl like you
0:27:13 > 0:27:18# Two true believers We devised
0:27:18 > 0:27:22# A temporary paradise
0:27:22 > 0:27:26# Now our future is in the past
0:27:26 > 0:27:33# I should have known it wouldn't last
0:27:33 > 0:27:37# I should have been a better man
0:27:37 > 0:27:42# You could have been a better friend
0:27:42 > 0:27:46# I'm alone but that's OK
0:27:46 > 0:27:52# I guess the dice just rolled that way. #
0:28:01 > 0:28:04I have some thing here that I think Vic would have liked you to have.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06Your grandfather's jock strap.
0:28:06 > 0:28:07Do you think there's any way
0:28:07 > 0:28:10I could find out if the person who wore this is related to me?
0:28:10 > 0:28:12I suppose there's one quick way.
0:28:12 > 0:28:16This is a Greek wedding and it's nice to see you here
0:28:16 > 0:28:18despite the economic downfall.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21Family is what disappears when you're not looking at it.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23- I don't think that's a saying. - Well, it is now.
0:28:23 > 0:28:27HE SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY ..Hot! Yeah!
0:28:27 > 0:28:28Great.
