Johnny Cash of Easter Cash
Johnny Cash is an all-American hero, yet he discovered that his ancestors came from a small village in Scotland. A chance conversation on a transatlantic flight led him to trace his family roots to Easter Cash in Fife. Sarfraz Manzoor goes in search of the Cash connection.

Mary Anne Hobbs recommends
"Why did Johnny Cash used the name 鈥楳alcolm鈥� when he checked into
hospital? The reason, says his daughter Roseanne, is that the Cash family are
descended from King Malcolm IV of Scotland. This programme documents Johnny鈥檚
search for his Scottish roots and the extraordinary impact that 鈥榯he Man in
Black鈥� had on the local community when he descended upon Falkland Palace in
Fife to film a Christmas special for American TV."
