0:00:57 > 0:01:03Don't laugh at his name, Gary, it's just a wee furry animal.

0:01:03 > 0:01:05Just think about Countdown.

0:01:07 > 0:01:11At ease. Corporal, uh, Mac Kline Toch?

0:01:11 > 0:01:17- Yes, sir.- General Randy Badger. Thanks for meeting me.- It all right, I was told I had to, sir.

0:01:17 > 0:01:20That's what a good soldier does, follows orders. So where to?

0:01:20 > 0:01:22Eh, the Lanny's oot the front.

0:01:22 > 0:01:24- What?- The Jeep's oot the front.

0:01:24 > 0:01:28- Come again?- Eh...the car...

0:01:28 > 0:01:33is...is parked oot... the front.

0:01:33 > 0:01:36Yes, of course. I'm not used to the accent, although interestingly

0:01:36 > 0:01:42my father's father on his side was Scotch, from uh, Ardrossan?

0:01:42 > 0:01:44Right, oh, I've never been, sir.

0:01:44 > 0:01:46Hell, neither have I.

0:01:47 > 0:01:50Never been to Scotland. Love the old Scotch, though.

0:01:50 > 0:01:52What? Old Scottish people?

0:01:52 > 0:01:54The drink, Corporal!

0:01:54 > 0:01:57Oh, right. I like the old Baileys.

0:01:57 > 0:01:59My wife Betty, she loves Baileys!

0:01:59 > 0:02:03Betty Badger? Mrs Badger. Yes, sir. Right.

0:02:05 > 0:02:07There are loads of different cultures in the world.

0:02:07 > 0:02:13And a lot of them are rubbish, like wi' funny food and silly clothes and that.

0:02:13 > 0:02:16But then, I think that's what culture is, eh?

0:02:16 > 0:02:19Like being different.

0:02:19 > 0:02:21And in the army, it's...

0:02:23 > 0:02:27It's definitely taught me that when you're in another country

0:02:27 > 0:02:30and it's a different culture,

0:02:30 > 0:02:35it's really, really important that you learn to put up with it.

0:02:37 > 0:02:39No matter how stupid it seems.

0:02:44 > 0:02:47So, you're back home, soldier.

0:02:47 > 0:02:49- Do you miss the heat?- Yes, General.

0:02:49 > 0:02:51- Good man.- It's freezing here!

0:02:51 > 0:02:55Soldier, I'm talking about the heat of combat, the zone, Basra Bing!

0:02:55 > 0:02:59Flapjack Falluja! Rat-a-tat-tat! There's a man on your back!

0:02:59 > 0:03:03Hell, yes, God, sir.

0:03:03 > 0:03:05Do you trust me, soldier?

0:03:06 > 0:03:10- Yes, General. - Good, cos it's all about trust.

0:03:10 > 0:03:15Because you, Corporal, are an integral component to the success of my mission.

0:03:15 > 0:03:20- What, what's your mission, sir? - Cross International Home Stationed Strategic Planning.

0:03:20 > 0:03:22- That sounds brilliant! - It does, doesn't it?

0:03:22 > 0:03:27I'm going to be examining what you boys do when you're stationed at home, and not in the heat.

0:03:27 > 0:03:30Oh right, aye, when we're at home, in the house, and it's cold.

0:03:30 > 0:03:32Aye, I ken what you mean.

0:03:32 > 0:03:35What's that?

0:03:35 > 0:03:38- You ken? What's that word? - Sorry, General, that's like a Scottish word.

0:03:38 > 0:03:43It means, um, tae like, eh, ken. Like, tae ken...

0:03:43 > 0:03:45Explain yourself, soldier.

0:03:45 > 0:03:49Erm... To know someone or something.

0:03:49 > 0:03:52OK. So, to ken is to know?

0:03:52 > 0:03:56Aye, like tae ken someone is to know them...

0:03:56 > 0:03:58- Do you ken him?- Who, General?

0:03:58 > 0:04:02No, no, I mean is that right? As in, you can ken someone?

0:04:02 > 0:04:05Aye, that's right.

0:04:05 > 0:04:07Aye is yes,

0:04:07 > 0:04:08I ken that.

0:04:08 > 0:04:10Correct, General.

0:04:10 > 0:04:14This is good, it's important to be able to communicate with the locals.

0:04:14 > 0:04:16So, do you ken him,

0:04:16 > 0:04:17then, I do ken him?

0:04:17 > 0:04:20Yeah, that's right. Well, it depends if you do ken him.

0:04:20 > 0:04:23If you dinny ken him, then you'd say, "I dinny ken him."

0:04:23 > 0:04:26- I dinny kenny?- I dinny ken, General.

0:04:26 > 0:04:28- You might or you might no'.- OK.

0:04:28 > 0:04:31So I ken him, I dinny ken him.

0:04:31 > 0:04:33I'd like to ken him.

0:04:33 > 0:04:37Or her. Can you say that for a lady?

0:04:37 > 0:04:39Aye, I think so, aye. You could try, General.

0:04:39 > 0:04:42You never know, I might just do that.

0:04:53 > 0:04:56- Thank you, Corporal. - Sir.- General Badger?

0:04:56 > 0:04:58General Randy Badger. Pleasure.

0:04:58 > 0:05:01Captain Sabastian Fanshaw. This is Sergeant, er...

0:05:01 > 0:05:04- I trust you found the barracks OK? - One of your soldiers drove me.

0:05:04 > 0:05:07- He seemed to find it without too much of a problem.- No.

0:05:07 > 0:05:11Of course. Silly me. Well, we're very excited to assist with your...

0:05:11 > 0:05:14Cross International Home Stationed Strategic Planning.

0:05:14 > 0:05:18Quite. Well, best of erm...luck.

0:05:18 > 0:05:24No need for luck, Captain. I'm here to keep up the American military's 100% record for successful missions!

0:05:24 > 0:05:27100 per, eh...

0:05:27 > 0:05:30Unfortunately, I, need to be in my office, but do give us a...

0:05:30 > 0:05:35- you know, later. I'll leave you in the capable hands of Sergeant, um... - Sure thing, Captain.

0:05:37 > 0:05:40- Sergeant.- Sir. Erm, shall we?

0:05:40 > 0:05:43Quite a set up here. Like it!

0:05:43 > 0:05:45Traditional, very traditional.

0:05:45 > 0:05:48Yes, sir, General. British Army budgets tend to specialise in traditional.

0:05:48 > 0:05:51I've heard. Still, a workman and his tools...

0:05:51 > 0:05:53Absolutely, General.

0:05:53 > 0:05:58- When it comes to tools, we're not short of them here!- That's good to hear, Sergeant. Good to hear.

0:06:04 > 0:06:07- A' right.- ALL: Aye.

0:06:07 > 0:06:09So, how's Stormin' Norman?

0:06:09 > 0:06:12- The General? He's a' right. - General what?

0:06:12 > 0:06:13Motors!

0:06:15 > 0:06:18Gentlemen. Sorry to interrupt your midday dining.

0:06:18 > 0:06:20At ease, men.

0:06:20 > 0:06:22I'm General Randy Badger.

0:06:24 > 0:06:25HE SPLUTTERS

0:06:25 > 0:06:28Sorry. Hot. Sorry, sir.

0:06:28 > 0:06:30Not a problem, soldier. Looks like good hearty fare.

0:06:30 > 0:06:33- What is it?- Badgers 'n' mash.

0:06:33 > 0:06:36Speak up, lads, the General asked you a question.

0:06:36 > 0:06:39Bangers and mash.

0:06:39 > 0:06:41It's good. It's hot.

0:06:41 > 0:06:43Good work, men. Enjoy your chow.

0:06:44 > 0:06:45Right.

0:06:45 > 0:06:48McLintoch. My office after lunch.

0:06:48 > 0:06:511400 sharp. Don't rush your brandy.

0:06:51 > 0:06:53Sarge. Sorry tae badger you, but...

0:06:53 > 0:06:54THEY SNICKER

0:06:57 > 0:06:58Don't.

0:07:03 > 0:07:04INAUDIBLE

0:07:04 > 0:07:06THEY SNICKER

0:07:06 > 0:07:10We've talked about religion quite a bit in the tank. Erm...

0:07:10 > 0:07:13And some of the boys don't think it exists.

0:07:13 > 0:07:17But...each to their own.

0:07:17 > 0:07:19But see, right,

0:07:19 > 0:07:24what annoys me, right, is that ye cannae laugh at other people's religion.

0:07:24 > 0:07:29You know that way like, if everyone laughed at everyone's religion, like doon the pub, then it'd be fine.

0:07:29 > 0:07:34But some folk take it like, ken, really seriously,

0:07:34 > 0:07:38like it's aw a matter of life and death, an'...

0:07:38 > 0:07:40Just chill-ax!

0:07:40 > 0:07:42Take a chill pill,

0:07:42 > 0:07:45said Gary unto the people.

0:07:48 > 0:07:53I'm well aware that the General has a more unfortunate name than my Aunt Fanny and Uncle Arsehole.

0:07:53 > 0:07:57- But the joke stops now, do you understand?- Aye.

0:07:57 > 0:08:01OK. He's only here for a couple of days, so your job is simple.

0:08:01 > 0:08:04- Oh, good.- Keep him sweet and say the right things,

0:08:04 > 0:08:10and we'll all be happier than when my brother found out he wasn't the real dad. Are you still here?

0:08:10 > 0:08:12Naw.

0:08:15 > 0:08:19- First up, Corporal, we'll need the Jeep.- To show you round the barracks?

0:08:19 > 0:08:24Barracks? Hell, no. Ardrossan, that's where we're heading.

0:08:24 > 0:08:26- But Sergeant Thomson said... - Look into my eyes, soldier!

0:08:26 > 0:08:28I'm General Randy Badger, do you know what that means?

0:08:28 > 0:08:31- Erm...- It means you are driving me to Ardrossan.

0:08:31 > 0:08:35I'm instigating Operation Feel My Forefathers!

0:08:35 > 0:08:37Hell, yeah. I'm getting back to my roots.

0:08:37 > 0:08:41I'm going to visit the place of my ancestors, the MacBadgers.

0:08:41 > 0:08:43The MacBadgers?!

0:08:43 > 0:08:49The MacBadgers. C'mon, Corporal, on the double, Armageddon, Arma-drossan!

0:08:55 > 0:09:01So, General, what does Operation Feel Your Forefathers consist of?

0:09:01 > 0:09:03Well, Corporal, I went to Ellis Island

0:09:03 > 0:09:09and I traced my great grandfather's grandfathers on my father's side entering into New York in 1913.

0:09:09 > 0:09:12Now, his name was Billy Badger.

0:09:12 > 0:09:13Billy Badger?

0:09:13 > 0:09:18The records show he was from Ardrossan, but changed his name when he came to the States.

0:09:18 > 0:09:20Now, from what, we're not 100% sure.

0:09:20 > 0:09:24But a lot of Scots anglicised their names.

0:09:24 > 0:09:27I'm guessing his name was Billy MACBadger.

0:09:27 > 0:09:32I just want to go there, you know, smell it, to feel...

0:09:32 > 0:09:35- Your forefathers?- You gotcha!

0:09:51 > 0:09:54Hell, I can feel it.

0:09:54 > 0:09:57Can you feel it?

0:09:57 > 0:09:59A wee bit.

0:09:59 > 0:10:00This is it.

0:10:02 > 0:10:03I'm home.

0:10:06 > 0:10:07I, er...

0:10:07 > 0:10:10- I think I want to be alone for a while.- D'you want me to get oot?

0:10:10 > 0:10:15No, no, no, no. I just wanna walk around for a while, you know.

0:10:15 > 0:10:17Soak it up,

0:10:17 > 0:10:19breathe it in,

0:10:19 > 0:10:21stand in the still air.

0:10:23 > 0:10:27Well, if you've got any problems,

0:10:27 > 0:10:29you've got my mobile number.

0:10:32 > 0:10:33You're a good man, Corporal.

0:10:43 > 0:10:45MOBILE RINGTONE

0:10:49 > 0:10:51Hello, Burger King.

0:10:51 > 0:10:53No, Jacko, it's me.

0:10:53 > 0:10:55I'm in Ardrossan.

0:10:56 > 0:11:03Well, it's no ma fault the General's wanting to trace his family history back to the MacBadgers. Seriously.

0:11:03 > 0:11:09Right, well just tell Thomson that I've taken him to a memorial or the shops, or something.

0:11:09 > 0:11:11CRACKLING

0:11:11 > 0:11:13A' right, I'll see you later.

0:11:44 > 0:11:47Listen, I suppose there are like historical links

0:11:47 > 0:11:52between America and Scotland, cos back in the day, a lot of Scottish people

0:11:52 > 0:11:56went on holiday to America cos there was no, erm, potatoes.

0:11:56 > 0:12:01An' then they stayed there cos it a better way of life, cos you got a slave.

0:12:01 > 0:12:04I'm no sayin' that's right, like now, but back then,

0:12:04 > 0:12:07havin' your own slave, it would have been quite good, eh?

0:12:07 > 0:12:13But ye cannae say it wouldnae, cos it would. Like, getting them to dae stuff for ya.

0:12:13 > 0:12:15Like, "Hey, you, make me a cup of tea, please."

0:12:15 > 0:12:17Or, "Pass me the remote."

0:12:17 > 0:12:20Or "Do you wanna go tae the cinema?"

0:12:22 > 0:12:24Like, that would have been good.

0:12:29 > 0:12:35Corporal! C'mon! C'mon!

0:12:44 > 0:12:46That was quick.

0:12:46 > 0:12:50Did you, eh, manage to feel your forefathers?

0:12:50 > 0:12:52More than I could have imagined.

0:12:52 > 0:12:54I just walked,

0:12:54 > 0:12:56took it in.

0:12:56 > 0:12:59I know it sounds strange but...

0:12:59 > 0:13:01I felt my forefathers.

0:13:01 > 0:13:05For a moment there,

0:13:05 > 0:13:07I really felt

0:13:07 > 0:13:09I was a MacBadger.

0:13:09 > 0:13:11Well, that's good, then.

0:13:13 > 0:13:16Sir, are you all right?

0:13:17 > 0:13:19It's just being here.

0:13:21 > 0:13:23It feels like home.

0:13:25 > 0:13:31It's beautiful! Oh, jeez, man!

0:13:32 > 0:13:34We're the same, Corporal.

0:13:34 > 0:13:36I'm the same as you.

0:13:37 > 0:13:43I'm Scotch. MacBadgers!

0:13:45 > 0:13:47MacBadgers!

0:13:47 > 0:13:49Argh!

0:13:52 > 0:13:55HE SOBS

0:13:55 > 0:13:58Aye, but he made me drive him to Ardrossan.

0:13:58 > 0:14:01He thought it was beautiful. He's mental.

0:14:01 > 0:14:04He's here on military business, not for geriatric day trips!

0:14:04 > 0:14:08- But what was I supposed to dae? He's a General.- Oh, is he?

0:14:08 > 0:14:13- Here was me thinking he was an exchange student from Mozambique! - But you said, "Keep him sweet".

0:14:13 > 0:14:17I know exactly what I said! What I didn't say was take him for an ice cream at the seaside.

0:14:17 > 0:14:21- But that's basically what he wanted to dae.- I don't care what he wanted to dae!

0:14:21 > 0:14:26Right, sorry, Sarge. Just so I can ken, right -

0:14:26 > 0:14:30I've not to dae what he wants to dae, in case it upsets you,

0:14:30 > 0:14:33but I've got to dae what he wants to dae, to keep him sweet?

0:14:33 > 0:14:40No. You've to do what he wants, and what I want, and you've to keep him and me sweet, do you understand?

0:14:40 > 0:14:42But, that's...

0:14:43 > 0:14:51- Right, OK.- Good. So tonight, you and your merry monkeys will be taking the General on a night hike,

0:14:51 > 0:14:56getting him back nice and safely so he can meet with the Captain for a debrief tomorrow morning.

0:14:56 > 0:14:59Now that's the orders, make sure it happens!

0:14:59 > 0:15:03See aboot the night hike, erm...

0:15:03 > 0:15:06- Tonight's no' great for me... - Get out.

0:15:06 > 0:15:08Right.

0:15:10 > 0:15:14OK, so it's a 32-mile-hike, leaving in 15 minutes,

0:15:14 > 0:15:18with an ETA of 0600 hours at Strathkeld

0:15:18 > 0:15:22where the weather is currently a very pleasant 10 degrees.

0:15:22 > 0:15:24Enjoy, General.

0:15:24 > 0:15:27Thank you, Sergeant. See you tomorrow. I'm looking forward to this.

0:15:29 > 0:15:32Corporal, do you mind?

0:15:32 > 0:15:34Certainly.

0:15:34 > 0:15:36OK.

0:15:36 > 0:15:37Here's the plan.

0:15:37 > 0:15:42Now, this walk in the dark, in the cold and the rain, that's all very well and good. But um,

0:15:42 > 0:15:46Corporal, show me on the map where the downtown area is.

0:15:46 > 0:15:49Erm... Well, the downtown area is here.

0:15:50 > 0:15:54Thank you. And, um, what's this area here?

0:15:54 > 0:15:55That's the High Street.

0:15:55 > 0:15:57High Street?

0:15:59 > 0:16:02OK, I'm instigating Operation Hell Yeah.

0:16:02 > 0:16:06We'll leave, as the Corporal has outlined, in 15 minutes,

0:16:06 > 0:16:11heading to this area here, where you'll take me to a bar that serves hard liquor.

0:16:11 > 0:16:15- But, General... - Look into my eyes, soldier!

0:16:15 > 0:16:18I'm General Randy Badger. Do you ken what that means?

0:16:18 > 0:16:22- I do.- It means I'm in charge, and I'm changing the mission.

0:16:22 > 0:16:25Now we're going into town on Operation Hell Yeah.

0:16:25 > 0:16:26You got a problem with that?

0:16:26 > 0:16:28Yes, or ken?

0:16:28 > 0:16:30- Ken?- Good!

0:16:32 > 0:16:35Now, scrape that shit off your faces and meet at the gate in 15 minutes

0:16:35 > 0:16:40where a cab is waiting to take us to Pussyville.

0:16:40 > 0:16:44- Understood?- Loud and clear, General. - Give me a "Hoo, yeah!"- Hoo yeah!

0:16:55 > 0:16:57- He's pretty radge, eh?- I told you.

0:16:57 > 0:17:01- I like him.- I'm no' sure aboot this. - Oh, he's the General.

0:17:01 > 0:17:06We're just following orders. And, as a good soldier, I'm fully committed to Operation Hell Yeah.

0:17:06 > 0:17:08Pussyville? Oi-oi!

0:17:08 > 0:17:11- Oh, naw.- What?- Top Gun.

0:17:13 > 0:17:15What the hell have you boys got on?

0:17:15 > 0:17:19Is it Halloween? Where's your uniform, your pride?

0:17:19 > 0:17:21General, don't get me wrong, I mean you look...

0:17:21 > 0:17:25brilliant. But, eh, over here, it's civvies out of hours.

0:17:25 > 0:17:29If you boys want to leave all the ladies to me, that's mighty kind.

0:17:29 > 0:17:31Yes, General, just leave the mingers to us.

0:17:31 > 0:17:33Mingers?

0:17:33 > 0:17:37- Are they what I think they are? - Aye, probably.- Definitely.
