We suspect - though we can neither confirm nor deny - that the dad of this episode is a spy. Known to some as ‘The Colonel’, to others as ‘The Ropy Tea Planter’, to others as ‘El Tigre’, to yet others as ‘Dodi Al-fayed’, this poised James Bond of a father has suavely criss-crossed the world with his winning moustache. From humble beginnings in Derbyshire, to boarding school in southern England, to Cambridge, to Venezuela, Egypt, India and Australia, where he eventually rediscovered his lapsed Christianity, The Colonel has inhabited many places and assumed many identities. But it’s time for daughter Kat - onetime high flyer of the corporate world, now turned personal trainer - to pin down this Protean figure once and for all. Listen up as Kat taps The Colonel’s phone and gets the down-low on his formative moments travelling the world, some possible regrets about life prior to his religious reawakening, and his intimate relationships beyond the family.
