0:00:04 > 0:00:06I'm no button expert but I think these are American.

0:00:06 > 0:00:08Charles and Rebecca Chadwick came from America

0:00:08 > 0:00:11to spawn Harry Chadwick, my greatgrandad, and later me.

0:00:11 > 0:00:14I started a Saturday job as a 16-year-old in a zoo

0:00:14 > 0:00:16and look at me now.

0:00:16 > 0:00:20- Tom, Hi, it's Al. And Kitty! From California.- Hi!

0:00:20 > 0:00:23I'm checking out California.

0:00:23 > 0:00:27I might be able to find out why Charles moved from America to England.

0:00:27 > 0:00:30Idiot.

0:01:02 > 0:01:04LA, baby!

0:01:04 > 0:01:06Al and Kitty have invited me over

0:01:06 > 0:01:10to pursue the Chadwick bloodline.

0:01:10 > 0:01:11And the timing just felt right.

0:01:11 > 0:01:15You know, with the break-up and the..

0:01:15 > 0:01:17the redundancy,

0:01:17 > 0:01:19it just felt like it was time to, you know,

0:01:19 > 0:01:22stop sitting around and waiting for my life to happen.

0:01:22 > 0:01:25So...

0:01:25 > 0:01:29here I am at LAX,

0:01:29 > 0:01:31Los Angeles...

0:01:31 > 0:01:34X.

0:01:34 > 0:01:36- I don't know what the X... - Tom!

0:01:36 > 0:01:37Here, look. Whoa!

0:01:37 > 0:01:39- Oh, Tom. So sorry. - No.

0:01:39 > 0:01:42- The traffic. - Are you late? I didn't even notice.

0:01:42 > 0:01:44- The freeway was a sardine can. - So lovely to meet you.

0:01:44 > 0:01:48- Oh, look. Hey. - Aw!- I made this today.

0:01:48 > 0:01:50That's so sweet, Kitty.

0:01:50 > 0:01:52- Yes. Do you like it? - Come on, I got the car right here.

0:01:52 > 0:01:54- Great.- Let go. Let go.- OK.

0:01:54 > 0:01:56Remember, we're having a BBQ tomorrow.

0:01:56 > 0:01:58We're having a barbecue in your honour.

0:01:58 > 0:02:00You're going to meet your relatives.

0:02:00 > 0:02:02- Rick Tillman from the Tillmans is coming.- And Julie.

0:02:02 > 0:02:04- Rick and Julie. - Julie, his girlfriend.

0:02:04 > 0:02:06David Chadwick's coming all the way from the Carolinas.

0:02:06 > 0:02:09- Oh, my God.- He drove his car across the whole country.

0:02:09 > 0:02:10I'm going to make a big salad.

0:02:10 > 0:02:13You're going to see all your relatives.

0:02:13 > 0:02:15- Oh, it's... - Do you like music?

0:02:15 > 0:02:16I do, yeah.

0:02:16 > 0:02:18- Do you like R&B? - R&B?

0:02:18 > 0:02:20Put it on, put it on.

0:02:20 > 0:02:21Yeah. Oh, great. Wow.

0:02:21 > 0:02:24Check it.

0:02:24 > 0:02:26Mm-hmm.

0:02:26 > 0:02:28# She's the kind of lady...

0:02:28 > 0:02:30# She's the kind of woman

0:02:30 > 0:02:32# I call her baby

0:02:32 > 0:02:35# And she calls me uh-huh...

0:02:35 > 0:02:38# When I see her walking...

0:02:38 > 0:02:40How about it? How about it?

0:02:40 > 0:02:43Does R&B mean the same thing here?

0:02:43 > 0:02:45- Yes, rhythm and blues. - Oh!

0:02:45 > 0:02:49# She's my lady baby... #

0:02:50 > 0:02:54It's so beautiful. Someone's got green fingers.

0:02:54 > 0:02:55- That's me.- Is it?

0:02:55 > 0:02:57We love this neighbourhood.

0:02:57 > 0:02:59- It's just perfect. - We just love it, love it, love it.

0:02:59 > 0:03:01- Palm trees on your roads. - Yeah.

0:03:01 > 0:03:03Here we are.

0:03:03 > 0:03:05Ooh!

0:03:05 > 0:03:06It's lovely.

0:03:06 > 0:03:07Thank you.

0:03:07 > 0:03:09This really is quite beautiful, guys.

0:03:09 > 0:03:12- Oh, thank you.- All her keen eyes. She did all this.

0:03:12 > 0:03:13- No!- I did, I did.

0:03:13 > 0:03:14I actually got a book and I read a book

0:03:14 > 0:03:17about how to redo a house, and that's how I learned.

0:03:17 > 0:03:19Well, it worked. It was a good book.

0:03:19 > 0:03:21Well, thank you. Thank you.

0:03:21 > 0:03:23And si casa c'est mi casa.

0:03:23 > 0:03:26Well, I think you're trying to say, "Mi casa es su casa."

0:03:26 > 0:03:27"Our house is your house," en espanol.

0:03:27 > 0:03:30Oh, yeah. I saw there was loads of Mexicans at the airport.

0:03:30 > 0:03:32Yeah, it's California.

0:03:32 > 0:03:34Yeah. While you're here, anything you need,

0:03:34 > 0:03:35anything you want, you just tell us.

0:03:35 > 0:03:37- Thank you. - I grew up in this house.

0:03:37 > 0:03:40This was my father's house and there's a lot of...

0:03:40 > 0:03:42a lot of great memories in this house.

0:03:43 > 0:03:47I can't, for the life of me, remember any of them, but...

0:03:48 > 0:03:50So, you want to see your room?

0:03:50 > 0:03:52- I have my own room? - And your own loo.

0:03:52 > 0:03:53Stop it.

0:03:53 > 0:03:55Well, I'm Al Chadwick

0:03:55 > 0:03:56and I was born and raised

0:03:56 > 0:03:58in Glendale, California.

0:03:58 > 0:04:00And I'm a podiatrist,

0:04:00 > 0:04:01the son of a podiatrist.

0:04:01 > 0:04:05I can say I successfully followed in my father's footsteps.

0:04:05 > 0:04:08Met a lovely lady some years ago,

0:04:08 > 0:04:10seated to my left here.

0:04:10 > 0:04:12I saw her number on a bathroom wall.

0:04:12 > 0:04:15She's not that kind of girl and I'm not that kind of guy.

0:04:15 > 0:04:17Some prankster had put her number there.

0:04:17 > 0:04:19But it was kismet. It was serendipity.

0:04:19 > 0:04:22We were destined to meet and we've been in love ever since.

0:04:22 > 0:04:23We have. We have.

0:04:23 > 0:04:26- This is your suite. - Oh...

0:04:26 > 0:04:28Our daughter's away at grad school, so this is all yours.

0:04:28 > 0:04:31It's been a while since I've been in a college girl's bedroom.

0:04:31 > 0:04:35- Oh, really?- Hopefully this will be less harrowing.

0:04:35 > 0:04:37Well, she won't be back for a while.

0:04:37 > 0:04:39Terrific. It's great.

0:04:39 > 0:04:41Well, this is embarrassing. So just,

0:04:41 > 0:04:44I was fostering a senior citizen basset hound

0:04:44 > 0:04:46who had a little bit of a bladder control.

0:04:46 > 0:04:49- We've got to recarpet this. - I know, but in the meantime...

0:04:49 > 0:04:51- We'll throw something over it. - Some sand or something.

0:04:51 > 0:04:54- We've all been there. - And this is your bathroom.

0:04:54 > 0:04:56- Your very own. - Sweet.

0:04:56 > 0:04:58That's great, actually.

0:04:58 > 0:04:59That's about to see some serious action.

0:04:59 > 0:05:01Oh. Well, it's all yours.

0:05:01 > 0:05:05- And I'm going to get dinner started. - What would you like to drink?

0:05:05 > 0:05:08Uh, I'll have a lager. That'd be great.

0:05:09 > 0:05:10Oh, that's a beer.

0:05:10 > 0:05:12Oh, a beer. Yeah.

0:05:12 > 0:05:13Now, it's cold. Do you mind?

0:05:13 > 0:05:15Shall I heat it up for you?

0:05:15 > 0:05:16No, that'd be fine.

0:05:16 > 0:05:18- Cold works. - OK.

0:05:18 > 0:05:20Lager. Lager.

0:05:20 > 0:05:23Lager. That's close enough. Thank you.

0:05:27 > 0:05:29Oy.

0:05:34 > 0:05:36PHONE RINGS

0:05:38 > 0:05:39Hello.

0:05:39 > 0:05:41- Tommy, it's me.- Hey, Pete.

0:05:41 > 0:05:42Hey! How are you?

0:05:42 > 0:05:44- I'm in America! - Yay!

0:05:44 > 0:05:46You're in America!

0:05:46 > 0:05:48- What's a bear's favorite pasta? - What?

0:05:48 > 0:05:50Oh, shit. I don't know, Pete.

0:05:50 > 0:05:52What's a bear's favorite pasta?

0:05:52 > 0:05:53- Tagliatelle. - What?

0:05:53 > 0:05:55Teddy! Tagliateddy.

0:05:55 > 0:05:58Oh, tagliateddy, not tag...

0:05:58 > 0:05:59You all right?

0:05:59 > 0:06:00I'm great.

0:06:00 > 0:06:03I mean, I'm a bit jet-lagged, but I'm all right.

0:06:03 > 0:06:05What time is it there?

0:06:05 > 0:06:08Uh... I'm still on old time.

0:06:08 > 0:06:10Wait, what time is it? It's really late there.

0:06:10 > 0:06:12It's 3:00 in the morning here.

0:06:12 > 0:06:14- Where are you? - I'm at work.

0:06:14 > 0:06:15I've been up all night.

0:06:15 > 0:06:18I've been helping the zebu give birth

0:06:18 > 0:06:19to a little baby zebu.

0:06:19 > 0:06:22It came out of its mum's... front one.

0:06:22 > 0:06:24Yeah, that's how that works.

0:06:24 > 0:06:27Any, listen, I can't wait to see you.

0:06:27 > 0:06:29- You too. - It's going to be amazing.

0:06:29 > 0:06:31Yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing you, man.

0:06:31 > 0:06:33All right, buddy. Love you!

0:06:33 > 0:06:35- Love...- Bye! - Yeah.

0:06:39 > 0:06:41Oh, toilet.

0:06:41 > 0:06:44"I'm looking forward to meeting Pete."

0:06:44 > 0:06:47Yes, that's going to be fun.

0:06:47 > 0:06:50I'm excited that Pete is coming to visit.

0:06:50 > 0:06:54I'm a little worried how Kitty will deal with him.

0:06:54 > 0:06:56Pete's great.

0:06:56 > 0:06:58But when he used to come and visit

0:06:58 > 0:07:01when I was living in Ireland with my mum,

0:07:01 > 0:07:04he... He would insist on sleeping naked.

0:07:04 > 0:07:07Which is fine when you're at home.

0:07:07 > 0:07:08But when you're camping

0:07:08 > 0:07:11or sleeping on your friend's mother's couch,

0:07:11 > 0:07:14it's a little, it's different.

0:07:14 > 0:07:16So this would be

0:07:16 > 0:07:19my great-great-grandfather Charles.

0:07:19 > 0:07:22- Yes. - And this chirpy little chiquita

0:07:22 > 0:07:25- is his wife Rebecca. - Rebecca and Charles.

0:07:25 > 0:07:28Yeah, this would be a brother of your great-grandfather Edward.

0:07:28 > 0:07:32Edward. So this would be my great-granduncle.

0:07:32 > 0:07:33That's the one.

0:07:33 > 0:07:36And here he is in his military garb

0:07:36 > 0:07:39during the Civil War, but there's a button missing.

0:07:39 > 0:07:42And I found a couple of buttons

0:07:42 > 0:07:45in Victoria's box.

0:07:45 > 0:07:47I don't know what that one is for,

0:07:47 > 0:07:49but this one looks like it's a match.

0:07:49 > 0:07:52- Isn't that amazing? - Let me look at that.

0:07:52 > 0:07:55The British are coming! The British are coming!

0:07:55 > 0:07:57- Tata tata!- Oh, boy. My neighbour. - There he is!

0:07:57 > 0:07:59Hey. Sorry, my bagpipes are in the shop.

0:07:59 > 0:08:02Your Majesty, I beg your indulgence.

0:08:02 > 0:08:03- Enter, sir. - Mike.

0:08:03 > 0:08:05Hello. How are ya, Al?

0:08:05 > 0:08:08- Very good, Michael. - Seen anything mysterious lately

0:08:08 > 0:08:10- you want to report? - Just now I did.

0:08:10 > 0:08:11- Hi, I'm Mike. - Hello.

0:08:11 > 0:08:13- And you're? - I'm Tom.

0:08:13 > 0:08:15We're just getting over the Beatles invasion.

0:08:15 > 0:08:19Hey, I brought you some English muffins so you'd feel comfortable.

0:08:19 > 0:08:21That's very thoughtful, Mike. Thank you.

0:08:21 > 0:08:23You might want to toss them in the toaster.

0:08:23 > 0:08:26I understand these Brits like their buns warm and well-buttered.

0:08:26 > 0:08:29I don't know what that means, but OK.

0:08:29 > 0:08:31And something to take back to England to your friends.

0:08:31 > 0:08:34This is a toothbrush with a book of instructions.

0:08:34 > 0:08:36Use it twice a day and call me in the morning.

0:08:36 > 0:08:39I'm just having some fun with you there.

0:08:39 > 0:08:42- Cos we've got bad teeth. - Yeah.

0:08:42 > 0:08:44So, is this your first time in the States?

0:08:44 > 0:08:47Yeah, first time. American virgin.

0:08:47 > 0:08:50So, listen, we have a great country. Make a point to see it.

0:08:50 > 0:08:52You can ski in the snow, you can swim in the ocean.

0:08:52 > 0:08:55Or if you wanted, you can go to San Francisco and go both ways.

0:08:55 > 0:08:58- You know? - OK.

0:08:58 > 0:09:00- Hi, Kitty. - Hi, Mike. How are ya?

0:09:00 > 0:09:02- You look great. - Thanks. It's good to see you.

0:09:02 > 0:09:04- You staying regular? - Oh, trying.

0:09:04 > 0:09:06- OK.- You know, trying.

0:09:06 > 0:09:07CAT MIAOWS

0:09:07 > 0:09:10I didn't... Sorry, I didn't know you had a cat.

0:09:10 > 0:09:12Oh, that's Kitty.

0:09:12 > 0:09:16We rescued her from a really, really horrible high-kill shelter.

0:09:16 > 0:09:19Very, very sweet. No claws.

0:09:20 > 0:09:22- You like cats? - What's that?

0:09:22 > 0:09:24- Do you like cats? - Uh, yeah, I like cats.

0:09:24 > 0:09:27I like cats. I'm pretty allergic to them.

0:09:27 > 0:09:29Oh. You want me to move the cat?

0:09:29 > 0:09:31Yes, that would be terrific.

0:09:31 > 0:09:34- Don't kill it. - Careful, careful.

0:09:34 > 0:09:38Yeah. It's vicious, isn't it?

0:09:39 > 0:09:43I'm not allergic to cats. I just don't like them.

0:09:44 > 0:09:49When I was younger, Bea told me that they're the devil's spawn.

0:09:49 > 0:09:52And I think she's right, as it happens.

0:09:52 > 0:09:54Some people don't like cats

0:09:54 > 0:09:56because they don't know what they're thinking.

0:09:56 > 0:09:59But I don't like cats because I know exactly what they're thinking.

0:09:59 > 0:10:01They're thinking, "Why don't we all get together

0:10:01 > 0:10:04"and scrape out Tom's eyes in his sleep?"

0:10:29 > 0:10:32There's definitely something there.

0:10:32 > 0:10:34He's a lot slimmer.

0:10:40 > 0:10:42BEEPING

0:10:42 > 0:10:44Fuck.

0:10:55 > 0:10:57Hi.

0:10:57 > 0:10:59Hey, Monk.

0:10:59 > 0:11:01How are you?

0:11:01 > 0:11:03OK.

0:11:04 > 0:11:06Is Bea there?

0:11:06 > 0:11:08Well, she's sleeping.

0:11:10 > 0:11:13Um...

0:11:13 > 0:11:16It's pretty late here. Can I talk to her?

0:11:16 > 0:11:18No. She doesn't feel like talking.

0:11:18 > 0:11:21She's sleeping.

0:11:22 > 0:11:25Well, what's going on with you?

0:11:25 > 0:11:29Well, she's depressed. She lost her job at the bank.

0:11:29 > 0:11:31- Aw, shit. - Yeah.

0:11:31 > 0:11:33Sucks.

0:11:33 > 0:11:35Were you there when it happened?

0:11:35 > 0:11:38Yeah, I was there. Ugly.

0:11:39 > 0:11:41- Was it your fault? - No.

0:11:41 > 0:11:44- Was it? - No.

0:11:46 > 0:11:48Can I talk to Bea?

0:11:48 > 0:11:49No.

0:11:49 > 0:11:52Will you tell her that I'm really sorry

0:11:52 > 0:11:54that she lost her job?

0:11:54 > 0:11:55Yeah.

0:11:58 > 0:12:00I'm really not going to talk to Bea?

0:12:00 > 0:12:01Is that, I'm just going to talk to you?

0:12:01 > 0:12:03She's sleeping, I said.

0:12:03 > 0:12:05OK, I'm going to...

0:12:05 > 0:12:08I'm going to go. Sorry, Bea.

0:12:08 > 0:12:11Night.

0:12:11 > 0:12:13Night.

0:12:29 > 0:12:32You know, thanks to my father, Al Senior,

0:12:32 > 0:12:34I got a wonderful education as a podiatrist.

0:12:34 > 0:12:37But a more important part of my education came

0:12:37 > 0:12:38when I was just 14.

0:12:38 > 0:12:41I went to Camp Weenahaha up in the Sierras there

0:12:41 > 0:12:43and we had Native American leaders

0:12:43 > 0:12:45come and teach us the old ways.

0:12:45 > 0:12:47Elders came and taught us things about

0:12:47 > 0:12:50"kaheenaha," you know, whittling.

0:12:50 > 0:12:52We learned "pohsiwhoa,"

0:12:52 > 0:12:54which is firestarting, and

0:12:54 > 0:12:56"yoleven," which is Indian gaming.

0:12:56 > 0:12:59I can start a fire with a garlic press and some bear scat.

0:12:59 > 0:13:03I can make an old cigar humidor into a drum for signalling help.

0:13:03 > 0:13:05These are skills that I've honed over the years.

0:13:05 > 0:13:09And, you know, we need to think in those ways.

0:13:09 > 0:13:11There's going to come a time, and I mean soon,

0:13:11 > 0:13:14when you'll turn on the lights and nothing will happen.

0:13:14 > 0:13:17I learned to not only operate, but to build a ham radio.

0:13:17 > 0:13:19So I'll communicate with my friends out there,

0:13:19 > 0:13:21like-minded people who know this is coming,

0:13:21 > 0:13:23and that's why I have the SUV with the high clearance

0:13:23 > 0:13:25to get over the barricades and get back home

0:13:25 > 0:13:28and help my wife and feed her and keep her warm.

0:13:28 > 0:13:31We're going to need these skills, because the time is coming,

0:13:31 > 0:13:33and I mean, I mean now.

0:13:37 > 0:13:39- You doing OK, Tom? - I'm doing great.

0:13:39 > 0:13:41- I am nailing this. - Oh, good.

0:13:41 > 0:13:43You know, I wanted to ask you,

0:13:43 > 0:13:45the school you went to, was it like Hogwarts?

0:13:47 > 0:13:49Yeah, I bet it was. What was that like?

0:13:49 > 0:13:51Was it, like, did the teachers wear

0:13:51 > 0:13:54those hooded pointy hats like wizards wear?

0:13:54 > 0:13:56Yeah, no. Not so much.

0:13:56 > 0:13:59Did you save your outfit? I'd love to see it.

0:13:59 > 0:14:00Yeah, yeah, no.

0:14:00 > 0:14:03I like the movies and everything, but it wasn't really like that.

0:14:03 > 0:14:05Hey, can you just grab me a bowl when you get a sec?

0:14:05 > 0:14:07Whoa. Sorry.

0:14:07 > 0:14:09Oh! You found my products. That's OK.

0:14:09 > 0:14:12I was actually meaning to tell you that I have these products I make.

0:14:12 > 0:14:16They're called "flushes" and they're like enemas. They come in all different flavours.

0:14:16 > 0:14:17I'm working on more flavours, actually.

0:14:17 > 0:14:21You know what? It would be great for you because it would help your jet lag,

0:14:21 > 0:14:22it would make you feel perky and energetic.

0:14:22 > 0:14:24I feel pretty perky already.

0:14:24 > 0:14:26They're fantastic. It's like an anal milkshake.

0:14:26 > 0:14:29- Why are they flavoured? - It's interesting.

0:14:29 > 0:14:31There are tiny taste buds up inside your anus.

0:14:31 > 0:14:33- Shut up. - Yes.

0:14:33 > 0:14:35And if you don't like these, I've got a bubble gum,

0:14:35 > 0:14:37I've got a strawberry shortcake I'm working on.

0:14:37 > 0:14:39Some cookies and cream right up the...

0:14:39 > 0:14:41- DOORBELL RINGS - I'll get that, actually.

0:14:41 > 0:14:43Great. Oh, I can't wait.

0:14:43 > 0:14:45This is going to be great.

0:14:46 > 0:14:47Oh.

0:14:51 > 0:14:53Just...

0:14:53 > 0:14:55We can come right in. I'm not worried about...

0:14:55 > 0:14:57- Oh, hey.- Hi. - Tom.

0:14:57 > 0:15:00- Yeah, hi. Rick. - Rick!

0:15:00 > 0:15:01- And, uh...- Julie.

0:15:01 > 0:15:03Julie. From Redondo Beach.

0:15:03 > 0:15:06- That's exactly right. - I've got it all up there.

0:15:06 > 0:15:07You've got it figured out.

0:15:07 > 0:15:09- Lovely to meet you. - Nice to meet you, too.

0:15:09 > 0:15:12We brought you a little something. Actually, Julie made it.

0:15:12 > 0:15:14Yeah, it's just meats.

0:15:14 > 0:15:16It's a really good Lebanese dish.

0:15:16 > 0:15:18That sounds delicious. I'll bring that in.

0:15:18 > 0:15:21Actually, I'd like to hold on to this, if you don't mind.

0:15:21 > 0:15:23- She'll just carry it. - That's fine.

0:15:23 > 0:15:24Why don't you come through?

0:15:24 > 0:15:26This is exciting.

0:15:26 > 0:15:28Welcome to Al's BBQ.

0:15:28 > 0:15:31We have some multicultural fare for you today

0:15:31 > 0:15:33for our friend who crossed the pond.

0:15:33 > 0:15:35We got our English bangers, Italian sausage,

0:15:35 > 0:15:38and we got the bratwurst, so a little bit from three countries.

0:15:38 > 0:15:40The size and the girth of that one there

0:15:40 > 0:15:43reminds me of sausages from Istanbul, I believe.

0:15:43 > 0:15:45It's called "sucuk"

0:15:45 > 0:15:48and it's mostly horse meat and cumin.

0:15:48 > 0:15:51And really spicy, really spicy. It would knock your socks off.

0:15:51 > 0:15:53Stuff like this would just be dull.

0:15:53 > 0:15:56- I've seen those.- You can see the marks on the side of the meat

0:15:56 > 0:15:58from when the jockey was whipping it.

0:15:58 > 0:16:00Yes, you would. Yes, you would.

0:16:00 > 0:16:03You know, my stepmother is Moldovan,

0:16:03 > 0:16:07so we have a lot of native sausage in the house in London.

0:16:07 > 0:16:10Yeah, it's really something. Full of flavour.

0:16:10 > 0:16:12None of which are pleasant.

0:16:24 > 0:16:26The cheese is always the first to go.

0:16:26 > 0:16:29I know. Do you eat imported cheese?

0:16:29 > 0:16:31No. You mean from different countries?

0:16:31 > 0:16:34Yeah, like France or Italy or Ireland.

0:16:34 > 0:16:37I just look at the box, the colour of my mood, the pictures.

0:16:37 > 0:16:39I don't read what it says.

0:16:39 > 0:16:40Cheese is cheese.

0:16:40 > 0:16:42No. Well, but it's not because...

0:16:42 > 0:16:43Hello?

0:16:43 > 0:16:46- Is this the Chadwick house? - Yeah.

0:16:46 > 0:16:48- Hi. I'm Dave Chadwick. - Oh, hi, Dave. I'm Kitty.

0:16:48 > 0:16:51- How are you? - It's nice to meet you.

0:16:51 > 0:16:53Hey, Al, Dave's here.

0:16:53 > 0:16:55David. Welcome, welcome.

0:16:55 > 0:16:57Hey. How's it going?

0:16:57 > 0:16:59Nice to meet you live and in person.

0:17:00 > 0:17:01Ooh.

0:17:01 > 0:17:05Mm. You, sir, deliver a juicy sausage.

0:17:06 > 0:17:08There's nothing more exciting than a barbecue.

0:17:10 > 0:17:11So, uh...

0:17:11 > 0:17:14Dave, do you have a special lady in your life?

0:17:16 > 0:17:17Well, I did.

0:17:17 > 0:17:19Ah.

0:17:20 > 0:17:23- What? - It's a complicated story.

0:17:23 > 0:17:26- Right. - I have a couple of pictures.

0:17:26 > 0:17:28Oh.

0:17:28 > 0:17:29This one.

0:17:31 > 0:17:34- Guadalupe is her name. - She's very beautiful.

0:17:34 > 0:17:37Yeah, she's from Peru. That's why she's wearing that hat.

0:17:37 > 0:17:39Ah. They wear those all the... I didn't know that.

0:17:39 > 0:17:41They do, yeah.

0:17:41 > 0:17:44That's us trick-or-treating on our street.

0:17:44 > 0:17:45- Really good. - Yeah.

0:17:45 > 0:17:48- Which one? - I'm Stan Laurel.

0:17:48 > 0:17:49She's Hardy.

0:17:49 > 0:17:51Oliver Hardy, but she called herself Ola.

0:17:51 > 0:17:54She couldn't say Oliver for some reason.

0:17:54 > 0:17:55You made quite the couple.

0:17:55 > 0:17:57- Yeah. - But it didn't work out?

0:17:59 > 0:18:02She's missing.

0:18:02 > 0:18:05She went missing about three years ago.

0:18:05 > 0:18:06She's just missing?

0:18:06 > 0:18:09I don't know where she is, to be honest.

0:18:10 > 0:18:12That's terrible. I'm so sorry.

0:18:12 > 0:18:16I looked for her for about a year and a half, pretty solid,

0:18:16 > 0:18:18and then it started to kind of dwindle off.

0:18:18 > 0:18:21- I had other things I was doing you know, working, of course.- Yeah.

0:18:21 > 0:18:25So now, I'll be honest, I don't know where she is,

0:18:25 > 0:18:27but I'm kind of back to my regular routine.

0:18:27 > 0:18:30You guys got on, it was a good relationship?

0:18:37 > 0:18:39Right.

0:18:39 > 0:18:41My part of the Chadwick family

0:18:41 > 0:18:44come from mostly North Carolina,

0:18:44 > 0:18:48but other places as well.

0:18:48 > 0:18:50Mostly what I know

0:18:50 > 0:18:54is about my grandfather, Phineas,

0:18:54 > 0:18:57who was a musician

0:18:57 > 0:18:59and a collector of art.

0:18:59 > 0:19:02And he was also an actor

0:19:02 > 0:19:04and a baseball player.

0:19:04 > 0:19:09# Spotted pup runnin' around the barn

0:19:09 > 0:19:13# Spotted pup runnin' around the barn... #

0:19:13 > 0:19:15He's a good banjo player, isn't he?

0:19:15 > 0:19:16Yeah, he's a good musician.

0:19:16 > 0:19:18He's got a nice voice, too.

0:19:18 > 0:19:22# Where are you goin'? #

0:19:22 > 0:19:26And that's the spotted pup song.

0:19:27 > 0:19:28- Nice. - Hey.

0:19:28 > 0:19:31- That was great. - Yeah.

0:19:31 > 0:19:33- That's a funny little piece there. - You look like him.

0:19:33 > 0:19:35I can see it. I can see it, yeah.

0:19:35 > 0:19:37A little bit, yeah, yeah.

0:19:37 > 0:19:39I have an interesting document here,

0:19:39 > 0:19:42which is a passenger list

0:19:42 > 0:19:45which shows Charles Chadwick

0:19:45 > 0:19:46going to England.

0:19:46 > 0:19:50- Can I take a look at that? - Yeah. Here.

0:19:50 > 0:19:51Let's see.

0:19:51 > 0:19:53Wow.

0:19:53 > 0:19:55Oh, yeah.

0:19:55 > 0:19:59So, he left for England on April 16, 1865.

0:19:59 > 0:20:01It's so weird that they would go to England.

0:20:01 > 0:20:04Yeah, you know, history at that time

0:20:04 > 0:20:05was just drinking and gambling.

0:20:05 > 0:20:07Maybe he had a big gambling debt and had to go.

0:20:07 > 0:20:10Or maybe he just didn't pay his taxes and he had to flee.

0:20:10 > 0:20:13- Well, that's possible. - Can I see that?

0:20:18 > 0:20:19Yes.

0:20:19 > 0:20:21I find this date of particular interest.

0:20:21 > 0:20:25April 16, 1865,

0:20:25 > 0:20:27two days after Lincoln was shot.

0:20:27 > 0:20:28Whoa.

0:20:29 > 0:20:31Why would that be...?

0:20:31 > 0:20:33My great-granduncle Charles Chadwick

0:20:33 > 0:20:35has the resources to go over to England?

0:20:35 > 0:20:38- Where'd he get his funding? - Holy shit.

0:20:38 > 0:20:41Al, I don't know where he would get his funding. I don't.

0:20:41 > 0:20:42People just get jobs.

0:20:42 > 0:20:43He had a job, all right.

0:20:43 > 0:20:46It's widely known that Booth did not act alone. He had an accomplice.

0:20:46 > 0:20:48And the chatter over the telegraph at the time

0:20:48 > 0:20:50was that it was someone sympathetic to England.

0:20:50 > 0:20:52History doesn't show that at all, Al.

0:20:52 > 0:20:54- No-one has ever claimed that there was a...- Yes, it does.

0:20:54 > 0:20:59I hear music and the sound of laughter.

0:20:59 > 0:21:02Hi. How are you? I'm sorry I'm late.

0:21:02 > 0:21:04Listen, Kim is at home with a bad migraine.

0:21:04 > 0:21:06Migraines are very painful, particularly for me

0:21:06 > 0:21:09because that means there'll be no hanky-panky tonight.

0:21:09 > 0:21:11- I'm sorry.- I don't mean to be crude saying hanky-panky.

0:21:11 > 0:21:14But there's ladies present and I didn't want to say "fuck."

0:21:14 > 0:21:16Oh, right.

0:21:16 > 0:21:19Look at me sitting in shorts.

0:21:20 > 0:21:22California.

0:21:22 > 0:21:26It's mad to think, you know, a couple of months ago,

0:21:26 > 0:21:28I didn't know that these people existed.

0:21:28 > 0:21:31And here we are just bonding.

0:21:31 > 0:21:32And I suppose it makes sense

0:21:32 > 0:21:35that we're connecting so quickly,

0:21:35 > 0:21:37because we're all part of this tree.

0:21:37 > 0:21:40This is what I'm getting as time goes on.

0:21:40 > 0:21:42I'm a part I'm a twig,

0:21:42 > 0:21:46a sheltered little Irish twig,

0:21:46 > 0:21:50and Al and Kitty are a high branch

0:21:50 > 0:21:53that have been in the sun too long.

0:21:53 > 0:21:55Rick's the trunk.

0:21:57 > 0:21:59Dave's a bit of gnarly bark.

0:21:59 > 0:22:01All connected.

0:22:06 > 0:22:08So the warden comes over and he says, "Bad news.

0:22:08 > 0:22:12"Tonight's your night in the barrel."

0:22:12 > 0:22:15Gives a whole new meaning to "feeling your oats," huh?

0:22:15 > 0:22:17Ah!

0:22:17 > 0:22:19Hey, Al, is that a Wiffle ball set?

0:22:19 > 0:22:21- Is that yours? - It's our daughter's, actually.

0:22:21 > 0:22:25My gosh. Let's have a Wiffle ball game. What do you say? Everyone up for it?

0:22:25 > 0:22:26I could do that. I'll do that.

0:22:26 > 0:22:28All right, everyone spread out in a semi-circle.

0:22:28 > 0:22:31Dave, you set them up into position.

0:22:31 > 0:22:33- Just stand out there. - OK.

0:22:33 > 0:22:34Help Tom. You show him, Al.

0:22:34 > 0:22:37- Can I play with a beer in my hand? - Absolutely, yeah.

0:22:37 > 0:22:40Just keep your head up. All right.

0:22:40 > 0:22:41All right, Tom, bend over

0:22:41 > 0:22:44and put your hands on your knees.

0:22:44 > 0:22:46Not the first time you've heard that, huh?

0:22:47 > 0:22:50All right, everyone ready? This is just a practice.

0:22:50 > 0:22:52It's a beautiful day for a Wiffle ball game.

0:22:52 > 0:22:56The weather is sunny with a 40% chance of a home run.

0:22:56 > 0:22:57- Ow! My gosh!- Oh!

0:22:57 > 0:22:59Kitty! You OK?

0:22:59 > 0:23:00- No!- What are you doing?

0:23:00 > 0:23:03- Careful with that. - Oh, my God.

0:23:03 > 0:23:05- I see a retina. - Put this on.

0:23:05 > 0:23:07It's some ice-cold lobster.

0:23:07 > 0:23:09- Lobster?! - This is from the ocean.

0:23:09 > 0:23:12The shell is going to cut her. Get that out of here.

0:23:12 > 0:23:14- But it's nature. - I need, like, a vegetable.

0:23:14 > 0:23:17Her retina's going to detach. You've got to hold that in.

0:23:17 > 0:23:19Here's a couple of shrimp. They're very dull.

0:23:19 > 0:23:22- No salt. - No, no, please.

0:23:25 > 0:23:28This is so nice.

0:23:28 > 0:23:30This is pleasant.

0:23:30 > 0:23:33Do you ever do this in London Town?

0:23:33 > 0:23:36No, I don't have a hot tub. Don't have the space.

0:23:36 > 0:23:38So much room here.

0:23:38 > 0:23:39- Yeah. - I love this.

0:23:39 > 0:23:40Nice, isn't it?

0:23:40 > 0:23:43It's weird to think if things had gone slightly differently,

0:23:43 > 0:23:45Edward had gone to Britain,

0:23:45 > 0:23:47Charles had stayed here,

0:23:47 > 0:23:49this would be my hot tub.

0:23:49 > 0:23:50You'd be a podiatrist.

0:23:50 > 0:23:53Playing "Kitty Kitty Bang Bang" here.

0:23:53 > 0:23:56Oh! I don't hate the idea of that, Al.

0:23:56 > 0:23:58With no accent. Yeah.

0:23:58 > 0:23:59Well, I'd have an American accent.

0:23:59 > 0:24:02Well, that's not an accent.

0:24:04 > 0:24:05Dave?

0:24:05 > 0:24:07Want to get some trunks and come on in?

0:24:07 > 0:24:08Dave, come join us.

0:24:08 > 0:24:12Come for a little dippy-dippy, Davey.

0:24:12 > 0:24:15Well, here's the thing.

0:24:15 > 0:24:19I have a vestigial tail.

0:24:19 > 0:24:21And if I get in the hot water,

0:24:21 > 0:24:23it's going to inflame it,

0:24:23 > 0:24:25and you don't want that to happen.

0:24:25 > 0:24:28So probably best that I don't submerge it.

0:24:28 > 0:24:31You know, it's just a nubby little thing. It's like a knuckle,

0:24:31 > 0:24:33but it gets all red at the tip.

0:24:33 > 0:24:35Is that, is that a hereditary thing?

0:24:35 > 0:24:38It is, actually, yes. It doesn't run maybe in all parts

0:24:38 > 0:24:41of the Chadwicks, but it's, in my case, I have to get

0:24:41 > 0:24:44one half size larger in pants

0:24:44 > 0:24:47because it protrudes.

0:24:47 > 0:24:49So thank you for the invite,

0:24:49 > 0:24:53but I shall go beddy-bye now.

0:24:53 > 0:24:54- Thank you. - Good night.

0:24:54 > 0:24:56All right. Nighty-night, cuz.

0:24:56 > 0:24:58I don't see a tail.

0:24:58 > 0:25:01It must be the fit of the pants. I couldn't see a thing.

0:25:01 > 0:25:04It's probably one like a Doberman pinscher kind that just is...

0:25:04 > 0:25:06Maybe they bobbed it like you bob a dog's tail.

0:25:06 > 0:25:08Right, and I bet... I wonder if he'd wag it.

0:25:08 > 0:25:09Sweetie, I'm getting tired.

0:25:09 > 0:25:10- I am, too.- You want to hit it?

0:25:10 > 0:25:11OK.

0:25:11 > 0:25:14Yeah, I might just stay and look at the stars for a bit.

0:25:14 > 0:25:15- You stay. - I don't get to do this often.

0:25:15 > 0:25:18- Stay as long as you like. - Night night.

0:25:18 > 0:25:19Thanks so much for today.

0:25:19 > 0:25:20Oh, sure. Good night.

0:25:20 > 0:25:23- Here you go, sweetie. - Thank you, thank you.

0:25:34 > 0:25:37- Hey, Tom. - Huh?

0:25:37 > 0:25:38Where is everybody?

0:25:38 > 0:25:41Um, they went to bed.

0:25:41 > 0:25:45Oh. Well, if the ladies have all retired,

0:25:45 > 0:25:46then in that case,

0:25:46 > 0:25:49looks like I don't need these.

0:25:55 > 0:26:00# When I found you, I found myself

0:26:00 > 0:26:04# I was going to love you like nobody else

0:26:04 > 0:26:09# But I never really had a clue

0:26:09 > 0:26:12# How to love a girl like you

0:26:12 > 0:26:15# Two true believers

0:26:15 > 0:26:18# We devised

0:26:18 > 0:26:22# A temporary paradise

0:26:22 > 0:26:26# Now our future's in the past

0:26:26 > 0:26:29# I should have known

0:26:29 > 0:26:33# It wouldn't last

0:26:33 > 0:26:37# I should have been a better man

0:26:37 > 0:26:41# You could have been a better friend

0:26:41 > 0:26:45# I'm alone, but that's OK

0:26:45 > 0:26:47# I guess the dice

0:26:47 > 0:26:51# Just rolled that way.
