Rupert visits his mother Sara to find out more about his father Tony's early life. He discovers that Tony's father Cyril worked in Nigeria for the Colonial Service. Sara has a photograph of Cyril as a two-year-old and tells Rupert that the family believe he was brought up by two aunts in Hammersmith. Rupert wants to find out more about Cyril's life and what he was doing in Nigeria. Rupert tracks down records which chart Cyril's career in the Service and discovers just how important a role he held in Nigeria. But what about Cyril's childhood? Rupert decides to search the online census records and unearths some very unexpected information. This is the start of a rollercoaster investigation into fathers and sons which Rupert describes as like an Ealing comedy, with its twists, turns and surprise relatives popping up. Rupert reflects on the ripple effects of broken relationships across the generations. On social mobility, both up and down, broken rules, abandonment, rebellion, convention and secrecy.
