S1, E6: Terrence "Hippo" Hippisley is larger than life. Meet the Vietnam veteran and you'll have your ear chewed off with a stream of yarns and the cackle of laughter. Hippo is a loveable larrikin. There's only problem: he's long been a stranger to his son, 41 year-old Mark. The two men have drifted apart - the tyranny of time, distance and Hippo's post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of the war. Which is why Mark is travelling to Vietnam to understand his dad. It's a journey of discovery, reconciliation and, at times, great humour.
