In episode 2, Olly looks in the Family History Box and finds a scrap of paper on which his Dad wrote down some words to remind him to look them up in a dictionary. Do YOU know what ‘deracination’, ‘ineffable’, ‘chapbook’, ‘mimetic’, ‘liminal man’ and ‘sacral’ mean? If not, you won’t want to miss Eddy’s Definitions Quiz! After that, there’s a short clip from Eddy’s eulogy at St Denys’s Church, Sleaford – and then Olly reads a letter he wrote to his Dad on 10 October 1983. This leads him to muse on his musical obsessions – and realise how much they echo Eddy’s. The episode ends in style with Olly recording his tribute to Louis Armstrong’s 1966 recording of ‘When the Saints Come Marching In’ – which was one of the songs played at Eddy’s funeral.
