Jay: I'm proud to be English, my family have
served and we've defended this country and we've been to war for this country Yousuf: I'm
really patriotic about Bangladesh Thordur: I am 100% Icelandic, yeah, definitely Ellaha:
This is a Kurdish wedding with my mum in the traditional Kurdish clothes Michelle: We're
just proud blacks, so that's it Jay: Yeah, I think we are probably the best country in the
world, if I'm honest Lucy: Think about other countries and other nationalities in the world,
are there any that you don't feel you get on with well, or you won't like, particularly? Jay:
Germany, yeah, I'm not a fan of the Germans Aurelie: You might think they're a little bit ...
Yousuf: Particularly India and Pakistan probably because of the whole, you know, the
conflict Ellaha: Cause I have this side of me that's like ... that hates Turkish people - not
people! But the government! Lucy: But French? Carlos: Nah Aurelie: We're just the best,
you know, it's just fact Thordur: I'm more important than you. I don't know you, but in my
opinion I am strong, and I am more important than a lot of people Lucy: How would you
feel about taking a journey based on your DNA? Aurelie: Yeah, I'd feel very intrigued Jay:
What could you possibly tell me that I don't know? Brad: So do you know how DNA works?
So you get half from mom, and half from dad so 50% from each of them, and they get
50% from their parents and back, and back and back. And all those little bits of your
ancestor, they filter down to make you, you. I need you to spit in this tube for me. Just spit
up to the little black line. Aurelie: That's a lot of spit Brad: Right, the story of you, is in that
tube. What's it going to tell me? Aurelie: It's going to be, 'oh yeah, you're French', and,
'wait, your grandparents are French', and, 'wait ...' Yousuf: 100% Bengali Waj: Solid Iraqi
Carlos: I'm Cuban! Jay: It's going to tell me that I'm English, like I've told you 2 weeks
later Brad: Jay? Can you come down and join us? Carlos: I'm a little bit nervous, I have to
say Lucy: So are you ready to find out your results? Brad: Will you read it out to us,
please? Ellaha: Wow, look at me! Aruelie: Oh my God. Oh ... wow ... I didn't
expect that Lucy: All of them Carlos: Whoa ... No ... No ... Ellaha: Caucasus? Which was
...Turkish? Brad: Yeah Thordur: Eastern Europe, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece Aurelie:
I'm 32% British? Thordur: What?! Jay: Great Britain, 30% ... 5% ... German Gaël: I'm
Irish? Brad: Yeah! Waj: So I'm a Muslim Jew Yousuf: Great Britain, 11% - are you sure
these results are mine? Carlos: Eastern Europe? Seriously? Thordur: Iceland has
definitely moved closer to Europe now Aurelie: I'm going to go a bit far right now, but this
should be compulsory. There would be no such thing as, like, extremism in the world, if
people knew their heritage like that. Like, who would be stupid enough to think of such a
thing as, like, a pure race? Brad: In a way, we're all kind of cousins, in a broad sense. In a
much more direct sense. You have a cousin, in this room Ellaha: Uh uh ... Brad: Turn
around, and guess who it is. Waj? Waj: Yeah, what's that? Brad: Why don't you come
down here and meet your cousin? Waj: Oh my God ... Ellaha: Did you know that? Waj: I
didn't, I had no idea ... this is like ... my heart's pounding right now, I swear to God You
have more in common with the world than you think Jay: I'm Jay from everywhere by the
reads of this Carlos: Gaël: That's beautiful, thank you Lucy: So would you like to travel to
all of these places? Ellaha+Waj: Yeah! Carlos: Hell yeah! Aurelie: Oh yeah An open
world begins with an open world THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN MY BELIEF: WE. ARE.
