Episode 4 begins with another look in the Family History Box, where Olly finds a family photo from 1938 showing his Dad as a little boy standing slightly awkwardly next to his parents, Gladys and Harold. There’s a clip of Eddy talking about his Mum and Dad, and we get a glimpse of his upbringing in a working-class district of Ipswich. It’s a world away from the drama degree Olly did in the 1980s, and the letter he wrote to Eddy on 10 November 1983 sees him using his Moog synthesizer to create a soundtrack for a happening. The episode ends with a clip of a wonky song that Olly recorded in his bedroom on that very synth shortly before heading off for university.
