I personally think his 100-year-old grandmother is simply amazing, and he should definitely visit her more than once in four years! (You couldn't make it for her 100th birthday, Craig?! Come on!)
The episode was very much a case of rags to riches (and then back to rags again,) with Craig's part of the family missing out on a sizeable inheritance because they're descended from the female line.
It's sad but true that to many patriarchs of the past, a daughter or granddaughter was literally worth less than a son.
For me though, the highlight was the image conjured by a newspaper ad; of men from the North of England having a dance-off in a rural sheep station in Australia.
That's worthy of a Monty Python sketch, surely!
