Welcome to America

Episode 5 of 8

Tom is in Los Angeles to stay with his American cousins and to try and discover why his great-great-grandfather emigrated to America over a hundred years ago.

Tom arrives in Los Angeles to stay with his American cousins, Al and Kitty Chadwick, and to try and discover why his great-great-grandfather Charles emigrated to America more than a hundred years ago. Al has invited two other cousins - Rick, who also lives in California, and Dave, who's on a road trip from North Carolina - for a barbecue.

As the barbecue unfolds, with Rick's girlfriend Julie and Al's neighbour Mike rounding out the party, everyone gets to know each other a little better and they all put their heads together to figure out how the family ended up having branches in both the United States and England. As the drinks flow, tongues loosen and inhibitions are dropped, ice is not the only thing that gets broken underneath the California sun.
