James Catchpole: My name is James Catchpole. Catchpole comes from the eastern part of England, Suffolk, I think. It's either of two things and we've never quite figured out what. It's either some awful medieval form of restraint. I won't say torture, that's too harsh. Restraint, let's say, Catchpole, or it's some sort of chicken thief, someone who catches poultry. I'm going to go for chicken thief. I'm proud of that.
