For tonight's Arts & Answers, we spoke with television writer, producer, and actor Jim Piddock, who, with Christopher Guest, co-created the HBO series Family Tree. The documentary-style comedy stars Chris O’Dowd as Tom Chadwick, an Englishman finds a family photo that launches him on an exploration of his lineage. Tune in to hear Piddock discuss his work developing and writing the show, his take on Chadwick’s world view, and what’s in store for Family Tree.
