Ever wondered what it must be like to take control of the family

0:00:180:00:22

holiday? Well, wonder no more!

0:00:220:00:24

This is Gimme A Break, the show where the kids are in charge.

0:00:240:00:29

The kids have all the say. They decide where they go,

0:00:290:00:32

what activities they do, and most importantly, they're in charge

0:00:320:00:36

of the holiday rules.

0:00:360:00:39

Today's lucky family are going to get a break.

0:00:390:00:41

They're not the greens. They're the Browns.

0:00:410:00:44

10-year-old Rosie,

0:00:440:00:46

12-year-old Elizabeth,

0:00:460:00:48

bike-nut Mum

0:00:480:00:51

and skater Dad, otherwise known as the Badger.

0:00:510:00:54

CRASH!

0:00:540:00:56

So why do Elizabeth and Rosie need to be given a break?

0:00:560:01:00

We don't get a choice in the matter.

0:01:000:01:02

We just go where we're told to go.

0:01:020:01:03

We're the adults and we get to choose.

0:01:030:01:06

Mum can be annoying, cos she's always on the bike.

0:01:060:01:09

It is true I cycle at least a gazillion miles a week.

0:01:090:01:11

She's like a hamster in a spinning wheel,

0:01:110:01:14

going round and round and round... ..Mum, get a life!

0:01:140:01:18

-If Mum's not cycling, we're all walking.

-Yeah.

0:01:180:01:21

They moan about walking, but they do actually enjoy it.

0:01:210:01:25

They pull us up mountains.

0:01:250:01:27

There's mountain goats going "Baaa!" every five minutes.

0:01:270:01:31

They take us to war graves and museums about the war and stuff.

0:01:310:01:36

We make the decision and say, "We're doing this. You'll enjoy it."

0:01:360:01:39

Sometimes they do and sometimes they don't.

0:01:390:01:41

My ideal holiday would be something to do with horses.

0:01:410:01:44

-Definitely.

-I have a big problem with horses - a few weeks ago

0:01:440:01:47

I got chased around the stable yard by this big black horse.

0:01:470:01:52

We never really do anything unusual or different.

0:01:520:01:56

We all have fun on holiday.

0:01:560:01:58

But they have to be reminded of how much fun they're having.

0:01:580:02:02

Oh, Brown family. I'm seriously worried about your family holidays.

0:02:020:02:06

-They're not good, are they?

-No way!

-No!

-So, therefore, would you two

0:02:060:02:09

-like to take control of the family holiday?

-BOTH:

-Yeah!

0:02:090:02:13

Sure you don't fancy another trip away with bicycles?

0:02:130:02:16

-No!

-No, thank you!

0:02:160:02:18

OK, fine. Hands on hearts, please.

0:02:180:02:20

And read that out together.

0:02:200:02:22

We, the parents of Elizabeth and Rosie, hereby hand over control

0:02:220:02:28

-of the next family break.

-# Hallelujah! #

0:02:280:02:31

-Yes!

-Are you feeling a bit of pressure

0:02:310:02:33

-now that you're in charge of the holiday?

-No!

-No. ..And as for you?

0:02:330:02:38

-Oh, no.

-I'm a bit worried about this!

0:02:380:02:40

One look at your faces, I can tell you're not happy. All I will say is,

0:02:400:02:45

break that promise and there will be serious consequences.

0:02:450:02:48

Let's go and talk holidays. Come on.

0:02:480:02:50

-Now, your mum's bikes, yes?

-Yes.

-Forget about those.

0:02:530:02:57

Your family holidays are about to change, because you

0:02:570:02:59

-are in charge. Tell me what you want to do.

-Definitely horse-riding.

0:02:590:03:04

Do you think if you told her, "This is a horse-riding holiday,

0:03:040:03:06

"Mum, and we are in charge," she'd get on the horse?

0:03:060:03:09

She'd be gutted, but who cares?

0:03:090:03:11

Your parents reckon on holiday you two are dead lazy.

0:03:110:03:14

Because they make us do boring stuff.

0:03:140:03:16

We don't want to get up for long boring walks.

0:03:160:03:18

If you've got something to get up for, you'd be happy to get up?

0:03:180:03:21

-BOTH:

-Yeah.

-So just lots of biking, yeah?

-Yeah.

0:03:210:03:24

No!

0:03:240:03:27

Can we do that again?!

0:03:270:03:28

I've listened to what the girls want

0:03:280:03:31

and put together three amazing breaks for them to choose from.

0:03:310:03:34

But I'm not just going to tell them what they are. Au contraire.

0:03:340:03:38

They'll have to try to work out what's on offer by cracking

0:03:380:03:41

a selection of cunning clues.

0:03:410:03:44

Break number one's clues are in a farmer's field. Baaa!

0:03:440:03:49

There's eggs and sausages.

0:03:490:03:52

-Ooh arr!

-Ooh arr!

0:03:560:03:59

-The sheep are in the field over there.

-Yeah.

0:03:590:04:02

-It's something to do with a farm.

-Yeah.

0:04:020:04:05

-It's a bit cold.

-Tent pegs.

-It could be camping.

0:04:070:04:10

Mum would hate that.

0:04:100:04:11

-A riding helmet.

-Oh, yeah.

0:04:110:04:14

I think this break could be a farm where we have to camp and go riding

0:04:140:04:18

and work on the farm as well.

0:04:180:04:20

I don't think Mum will like it, because she doesn't like horses

0:04:200:04:23

and she doesn't like camping.

0:04:230:04:25

Well, it's lucky Mum's not picking the holiday then, isn't it?

0:04:250:04:28

Mind you, there's something fishy going on with the next clues.

0:04:280:04:31

There's something floating on the island. ..There's a horseshoe.

0:04:310:04:35

The horseshoe is definitely something to do with horses.

0:04:380:04:41

-Ah, she's a clever one.

-Shall we both pull it in?

-Yeah.

0:04:410:04:46

-What do you think?

-Somewhere hot that you can ride horses,

0:04:530:04:56

where it's got sharks. And it's probably an island as well.

0:04:560:05:01

Let's see if the girls can see the wood for the trees.

0:05:010:05:05

Time for their final set of clues.

0:05:050:05:08

It says Gimme A Break.

0:05:080:05:09

Follow the pony to get to the point.

0:05:120:05:14

-Pony? What?

-What pony? Where?

0:05:140:05:17

I thought the pony looked really, really daft.

0:05:200:05:22

It had really silly teeth and daft floppy ears. It looked so silly.

0:05:220:05:27

Where's the pony taking us?

0:05:290:05:30

An arrow.

0:05:320:05:35

Um, pans?

0:05:350:05:37

How random. I've no idea what this could be, personally. Do you?

0:05:370:05:41

Cooking show?

0:05:410:05:42

Maybe camping!

0:05:420:05:44

-Yeah, could be camping.

-With camping, you have to shoot animals

0:05:440:05:48

-to get food, then you cook them.

-No.

-An interesting theory, Rosie.

0:05:480:05:52

I'm not sure the pony looks too happy about that.

0:05:520:05:55

That's it, clues over. Have Elizabeth and Rosie

0:05:560:05:59

guessed the breaks on offer, and which one will they choose?

0:05:590:06:03

I think you had a good time trying to work out what your holidays are.

0:06:060:06:09

-BOTH:

-Yeah.

-Best moment? What did you enjoy?

0:06:090:06:12

-Pony.

-Yeah, the pony.

0:06:120:06:14

Yeah, the pony that was your mum and dad dressed up.

0:06:140:06:17

I have, written on this card and on this laptop, the three

0:06:190:06:22

breaks that I've picked for you. Because you went on about horses,

0:06:220:06:26

-every single break that I've picked has horses in it.

-Yes!

-Wow.

0:06:260:06:30

Break number one is an absolute animal fest.

0:06:300:06:35

Have a look at this. 'Time for some fun on the farmyard.'

0:06:350:06:38

Staying in a luxurious tent, you'll assist a Lincolnshire farmer

0:06:380:06:42

with the pigs, the horses, the chickens, the cows.

0:06:420:06:45

You'll even help welcome new baby lambs into the world.

0:06:450:06:48

A baaa-rilliant break.

0:06:480:06:50

So what do you reckon to break number one? We're talking animals,

0:06:500:06:54

tents, horse-riding.

0:06:540:06:56

What do you think? Talk to me.

0:06:560:06:58

-Wow.

-Great, yeah.

-You seem very excited indeed, Rosie.

0:06:580:07:02

-Do you want me to go on?

-We'll see the other two.

0:07:020:07:05

-Are you sure?

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

0:07:050:07:06

Check it out. Break number two takes you to Killarney on the west coast

0:07:060:07:10

of Ireland. Mum won't have the energy

0:07:100:07:13

to go for a bike ride once you've tackled a high rope course

0:07:130:07:17

and a massive cliff jump.

0:07:170:07:18

Oh, you'll also be horse-riding and dolphin-watching.

0:07:180:07:22

Yes, it was a dolphin fin, not a shark.

0:07:220:07:25

Let me tell you more about it.

0:07:250:07:27

You will go horse-riding on the beach.

0:07:270:07:30

-That would be just great, yeah.

-It'll be just the most amazing thing

0:07:300:07:34

with water on your face. It'll be great.

0:07:340:07:37

Mum'll be like...!

0:07:370:07:39

You'll go out on a speedboat, looking for dolphins.

0:07:390:07:42

-You don't think you'll ever do anything like that.

-I know.

0:07:420:07:46

Which way are you swaying at the moment?

0:07:460:07:48

Towards the first one.

0:07:480:07:50

I think I like the second one. I like them both, yeah.

0:07:500:07:52

Oh, I can tell there's going to be trouble.

0:07:520:07:55

-Want me to make your decision even harder?

-Go on, then.

0:07:550:07:58

Check this out. 'This break will be in the heart of the New Forest,'

0:07:580:08:01

where cattle and pigs roam freely and so could you,

0:08:010:08:04

on your very own pony-trekking adventure.

0:08:040:08:07

Also on the menu for this brilliant break, cooking lessons

0:08:070:08:10

with a professional chef and the chance to take aim

0:08:100:08:13

and become an ace archer, just like Robin Hood.

0:08:130:08:16

The green tights are optional.

0:08:160:08:18

Have you been pony-trekking through a forest?

0:08:180:08:21

-No.

-That'd be great for me. I've always fancied doing that.

0:08:210:08:25

Right. It's decision time.

0:08:250:08:27

Which of the three breaks on offer will the girls choose?

0:08:270:08:31

-Want to tell me which break you've picked?

-Break number three.

0:08:310:08:34

You've gone for the New Forest!

0:08:340:08:35

CHEERING

0:08:350:08:37

-What was it that made you go with that?

-The idea of riding

0:08:370:08:41

the ponies in the forest.

0:08:410:08:44

Before you go, I've got one last thing to tell you.

0:08:440:08:48

At the end of your break, you'll get the chance to play

0:08:480:08:51

for one last, very special treat.

0:08:510:08:55

However,

0:08:550:08:58

if you get the test that I'm going to set you wrong,

0:08:580:09:02

-your parents get the treat.

-We've got to win it.

0:09:020:09:06

So, the Brown family, who until now have always had holidays where

0:09:080:09:12

they've been dragged up mountains and forced to go on gazillion-mile

0:09:120:09:16

bike rides, are off to the New Forest,

0:09:160:09:18

which is actually not that new.

0:09:180:09:19

It was officially created by William the Conqueror in 1079,

0:09:190:09:23

as a hunting area. So it's time for Elizabeth and Rosie to take control.

0:09:230:09:27

But how will Mum cope without her bike?

0:09:270:09:29

I thought I was going to die!

0:09:290:09:31

And who will win the dream treat?

0:09:310:09:35

The Browns' New Forest adventure break is now just one day away,

0:09:370:09:41

and because Elizabeth and Rosie are in charge,

0:09:410:09:43

-it's up to them to do the packing.

-It's all cycling gear.

0:09:430:09:46

Ew! Nothing out of here is going in the suitcase.

0:09:460:09:50

I'm sure they'll find things that I wouldn't want them to take

0:09:500:09:53

-lurking in the back of my wardrobe.

-She can take these,

0:09:530:09:56

just so she can look like a fool.

0:09:560:09:58

They're bad enough packing a small bag for themselves,

0:09:580:10:01

full of useless, impractical junk.

0:10:010:10:03

Stink of Badger!

0:10:030:10:05

Pant time. Urgh!

0:10:050:10:07

SCREAMING

0:10:070:10:08

There'll be major items of mine missing - socks or something.

0:10:080:10:13

Is that too horrible to take?

0:10:130:10:15

Kept that one quiet, didn't he?

0:10:150:10:17

It might be good if they took something to dress

0:10:170:10:19

a bit smart in the evenings.

0:10:190:10:21

Well, we can make him wear this.

0:10:210:10:23

Well, you did ask for it, Dad. It's the morning of the break

0:10:230:10:26

and we've given the Brown family

0:10:260:10:28

the Gimme A Break fam cam to capture all those special family moments.

0:10:280:10:32

This is what I think of our new holiday.

0:10:320:10:36

It's going to be absolutely great.

0:10:360:10:38

Have I got chocolate round my mouth?

0:10:380:10:41

OK, now, Mum just bought that.

0:10:410:10:44

It is absolutely swedey.

0:10:440:10:46

In other words, yuck.

0:10:460:10:48

Stripes...

0:10:480:10:50

were so...last season, in last season.

0:10:500:10:54

I'm still concerned about my clothes.

0:10:540:10:58

By the look of the wardrobe, there's loads of socks and underwear

0:10:580:11:01

that have been taken, but next to no trousers.

0:11:010:11:05

And I'm also very worried that I haven't got a bike to ride

0:11:050:11:08

all of this and next week.

0:11:080:11:10

-Really excited.

-Yeah. I couldn't sleep last night.

0:11:100:11:14

The wait's finally over,

0:11:140:11:16

and the Brown family are whisked off to Chesterfield

0:11:160:11:19

train station. Remember, Mum and Dad still have no idea where

0:11:190:11:22

they're going. It's time the girls put them out of their misery.

0:11:220:11:27

-Go on, Rosie, tell them.

-OK. We're going to the New Forest.

0:11:270:11:32

-The New Forest?

-The New Forest?

0:11:320:11:34

Yeah. Sounds like tents to me!

0:11:340:11:37

I'm worried because I think the New Forest is overrun with wild ponies.

0:11:370:11:41

And you might have to catch one and ride one. I'm very worried.

0:11:420:11:45

So now that Mum and Dad

0:11:470:11:48

know where they're going,

0:11:480:11:50

and Dad's had a snooze, I wonder how they feel about the New Forest.

0:11:500:11:54

It's full of wild ponies. If we're camping, we might get trampled on.

0:11:540:11:58

The tents might get eaten or something, so I'm rather worried.

0:11:580:12:03

New Forest ponies have existed in the area for over 1,000 years.

0:12:060:12:10

Around 4,000 of us roam free in the New Forest.

0:12:100:12:13

After a four-hour journey,

0:12:160:12:18

the family finally arrive at their break destination.

0:12:180:12:21

Let's choose the best bedrooms.

0:12:210:12:23

Mum, Dad, go and get the bags. We're in charge.

0:12:230:12:26

- Get the bags? - Yes, get the bags!

0:12:260:12:28

Nice work, girls. Start as you mean to go on.

0:12:280:12:30

It's really heavy!

0:12:300:12:31

And after a quick look round... it's time to unpack.

0:12:310:12:35

Moment of truth, girls.

0:12:380:12:41

What have you packed for us for this holiday?

0:12:410:12:43

Tour de France T-shirt?!

0:12:440:12:47

-Your ugly, ugly hat.

-It's brilliant, this hat!

0:12:470:12:49

A bow-tie! Maybe we're going out for dinner.

0:12:490:12:52

Are you sure there's no cycling in this holiday?

0:12:540:12:58

-I'm sure.

-Yep. 100%.

0:12:580:13:00

What's this?

0:13:000:13:01

An antique silver waistcoat.

0:13:010:13:03

That'll come in useful when I'm horse-riding. No swimming trunks!

0:13:030:13:08

I'll have to find the darkest pair of underpants I've got.

0:13:080:13:11

I'll wear those for swimming.

0:13:110:13:13

SCREAM

0:13:130:13:14

Seven out of ten, girls.

0:13:140:13:15

The tie and the waistcoat, non-starter. No swimming trunks.

0:13:150:13:20

Five is the best I can do.

0:13:200:13:22

BOO-OO!

0:13:220:13:23

I think we did well on the packing. They were just annoyed

0:13:230:13:26

because we didn't pack what they wanted us to pack.

0:13:260:13:29

-Hi there, guys!

-Hi!

0:13:320:13:34

Listen. Now that you're on your holiday, I think it's time

0:13:340:13:37

for the Gimme A Break rules, decided by Elizabeth and Rosie.

0:13:370:13:41

-Ready?

-Yeah.

-Rule Number 1.

0:13:410:13:43

Mum, there are no bikes involved in this break at all.

0:13:430:13:47

You're not even allowed to talk about them, OK?

0:13:470:13:50

I think that will be a very hard rule to keep.

0:13:500:13:53

Rule Number 2.

0:13:530:13:54

Dad, the girls have had enough of you dragging them up mountains,

0:13:540:13:58

taking them to art galleries and museums and memorials.

0:13:580:14:02

Sorry, did I fall asleep, Dad?

0:14:020:14:04

That's because museums are not the girls' idea of fun.

0:14:040:14:07

Therefore, on this break, they're going to decide all the activities.

0:14:070:14:11

I'm not happy about it, but I'll have to go along with it.

0:14:110:14:14

They might have thought of something half-decent for us to do, I suppose.

0:14:140:14:18

And finally, Rule Number 3.

0:14:180:14:20

The girls can buy what they want, when they want, and they can eat

0:14:200:14:23

any food they like. Remember, Mum and Dad, the girls' word is final.

0:14:230:14:28

No arguments.

0:14:280:14:30

-We're in charge!

-And you've got to do everything we say.

0:14:300:14:34

So we're just going to be eating burger and chips all week,

0:14:340:14:37

-and we'll have no money left after the first day.

-Take a chill pill!

0:14:370:14:42

All right, guys. Have a fantastic break.

0:14:420:14:44

Enjoy yourselves, and I'll be back later on

0:14:440:14:46

to tell you about the all-important treat. See you soon.

0:14:460:14:49

Bye!

0:14:490:14:51

The hardest thing overall is going to be the general

0:14:510:14:54

feeling of lack of control.

0:14:540:14:56

Not to talk about cycling, I think I'm going to find impossible.

0:14:560:14:59

HOOTER

0:14:590:15:00

And Mum's not exaggerating, as she immediately breaks Rule Number 1.

0:15:010:15:06

Get off!

0:15:060:15:07

-Mum!

-Get off!

0:15:080:15:10

I'll take this.

0:15:120:15:13

That's it. No bikes! No!

0:15:140:15:16

And we all know what happens when you break a rule.

0:15:160:15:20

You have to face the consequences.

0:15:200:15:22

We saw you on that guy's bicycle,

0:15:220:15:24

so we're going to confiscate the TV out of your room.

0:15:240:15:27

Yes, and that's going to be bad for Badger, well Dad, as well.

0:15:270:15:31

So my secret cycling has meant

0:15:310:15:34

that Dad can't watch the television in bed?

0:15:340:15:37

-Yeah.

-And neither can you.

0:15:370:15:38

We can't put it on here. Do you know why?

0:15:420:15:45

Dad, come and sort this TV out.

0:15:460:15:49

It's early on day one, and the girls have got one thing on their minds.

0:15:540:15:57

Quick. We're going horse-riding today.

0:15:570:16:00

I can't wait for this.

0:16:000:16:01

Dad? What are you wearing?

0:16:020:16:06

You packed it, so I'm going to wear it.

0:16:060:16:09

-OK.

-Right.

0:16:090:16:11

I'll probably be the stupidest-looking rider

0:16:110:16:14

out there today, but I don't care.

0:16:140:16:16

I'm up for it. They've set us up for this, so let's get on with it.

0:16:160:16:19

I guess it's our fault for packing his bow-tie and suit.

0:16:190:16:23

-So it's up to him really, what he wears.

-Yeah.

0:16:230:16:26

I fancy something small, like a donkey, but I'm a bit worried

0:16:260:16:29

they might have reserved something like a carthorse or a Shire horse,

0:16:290:16:33

with big hairy hooves and a bad temper.

0:16:330:16:35

This should be interesting.

0:16:480:16:50

Mum's never ridden before and is afraid of horses!

0:16:500:16:54

I can smell the fear.

0:16:540:16:55

It's very tall.

0:16:550:16:57

The seat is above that lady's head! The one behind's even bigger.

0:16:570:17:02

It feels very high. It's a long way off the ground.

0:17:120:17:16

-Don't be nervous!

-It's fun, Mum.

-It's supposed to be fun, this?

0:17:160:17:20

I'll tell you when we get back.

0:17:200:17:22

I think I'm all right as long as it doesn't move.

0:17:220:17:25

Unlucky, Mum, because it's starting to move now!

0:17:250:17:28

-Going downhill a bit.

-Nice horse...

-Lean back, Mum.

0:17:350:17:39

I think this is probably the best ride I've had, ever!

0:17:440:17:48

Mum's doing great, considering she hasn't ridden.

0:17:480:17:51

She looks really calm and she looks like she's enjoying herself.

0:17:510:17:55

It's been nice doing something that the girls really enjoy.

0:17:550:17:58

On the upside, they haven't moaned at all today.

0:17:580:18:01

Well, they haven't, Mum, but what about you?

0:18:010:18:03

My bottom is getting very sore!

0:18:030:18:05

I think they've been surprised at how much fun we've had,

0:18:050:18:08

because I don't think they expected it to be quite as easy as that.

0:18:080:18:12

DAD: I think the outfit was great, really.

0:18:120:18:15

It set me up like some great Victorian horseman for the day.

0:18:150:18:18

I think it really helped.

0:18:180:18:19

They kids did well choosing this gear for me, yes.

0:18:190:18:22

After a three-hour trek, Mum makes it back to the stables in one piece.

0:18:220:18:28

Oh! I'm walking like this now.

0:18:310:18:33

That was everything I thought it would be, and I love this pony.

0:18:330:18:37

Yes, it was great. I really enjoyed that.

0:18:370:18:39

Mum, you're walking like you've pooed yourself.

0:18:400:18:43

She is as well! But don't worry, Mum.

0:18:430:18:46

I'm sure the girls have thought of something to take your mind off it.

0:18:460:18:50

Mum and Dad, how's the saddle sores?

0:18:500:18:52

My bottom's still a bit sore,

0:18:520:18:54

but we're ready for what you've got lined up next for us.

0:18:540:18:57

We're going to a water park!

0:18:570:18:59

A water park?

0:18:590:19:01

A water park? Oh, no!

0:19:010:19:04

Fun for all the family?

0:19:040:19:05

If it says it on the sign, Mum, it must be true.

0:19:050:19:08

The person that's definitely going to scream the most is Mum.

0:19:080:19:12

Because she's always the screamer.

0:19:120:19:14

I can't believe that I was worried about going on horses,

0:19:140:19:17

at the thought of being dragged around behind a speedboat

0:19:170:19:20

on a rubber ring.

0:19:200:19:21

OK, hold tight!

0:19:230:19:26

-That was absolutely terrifying.

-That was great! Again, again!

0:19:430:19:48

-I thought I was going to die.

-Who wants to go on the banana now?

0:19:480:19:51

-Me!

-Hey!

0:19:510:19:53

Does anybody not want to get wet?

0:19:530:19:55

Unlucky, Mum. You're outvoted.

0:19:560:19:59

< How was the water?

0:20:160:20:17

Cold!

0:20:170:20:18

That was the best thing I have ever done,

0:20:190:20:23

and it was the most fun thing I've done in ages.

0:20:230:20:27

We had to work as a team to keep it together, but we lost it in the end.

0:20:270:20:30

-But it was brilliant.

-It might have cured Mum's saddle sores.

0:20:300:20:33

It's frozen parts of me I didn't know I had.

0:20:330:20:36

It isn't something we would normally do, but it was great.

0:20:360:20:39

It is really good being in charge!

0:20:390:20:41

It sure is, especially when you get to drag your parents

0:20:410:20:44

around a theme park that's been opened just for you and your family!

0:20:440:20:48

-I'm too small to go on this ride!

-I'm too small for for this ride!

0:20:510:20:55

I'm crying!

0:21:050:21:07

Can we do that again?

0:21:110:21:13

Uh-oh. Looks like Dad's spotted one of his boring museums.

0:21:130:21:18

And it looks like he can't resist it!

0:21:180:21:20

That is a blatant rule-break if ever I saw one.

0:21:200:21:22

HOOTER

0:21:280:21:29

-Dad!

-Forfeit time!

-You've broken Rule 2, no boring museums.

0:21:290:21:34

This museum's not boring. It's fun!

0:21:340:21:37

Yeah, fun it might be, Dad,

0:21:370:21:39

but you'll be facing a forfeit in the morning.

0:21:390:21:42

I wonder what the girls will dream up.

0:21:420:21:44

Come on, Dad. Forfeit time!

0:21:440:21:46

Of course, it's the old tie round the head in a big inflatable ball

0:21:460:21:50

on a swimming pool forfeit!

0:21:500:21:52

Not seen that one for a while. Or ever, for that matter.

0:21:520:21:56

I don't think I'll break the rules again!

0:22:040:22:07

Midway through the family break, I think that Mum and Dad

0:22:110:22:14

are finding it a little difficult to stick to the family rules.

0:22:140:22:18

I think we should have a little competition.

0:22:180:22:20

And, if we win, what do you think?

0:22:200:22:22

-We get to break a rule.

-Hmm.

0:22:220:22:25

-All right, then.

-But if you lose, you do a forfeit.

0:22:250:22:28

OK.

0:22:280:22:30

You've got to get it in the target.

0:22:340:22:36

Shut up, you lot.

0:22:360:22:37

Ohh!

0:22:410:22:42

It looks like advantage Mum and Dad

0:22:540:22:56

but can Elizabeth get the girls back in it?

0:22:560:22:59

Well, done!

0:22:590:23:00

Going for gold.

0:23:000:23:02

Nice one, Dad.

0:23:070:23:08

Oh! Mum and Dad have thrashed Rosie and Elizabeth six arrows to two!

0:23:080:23:12

I wonder which rule Mum will break.

0:23:120:23:14

Can I take this one?

0:23:180:23:21

See you, kids.

0:23:230:23:24

-It ruined everything.

-I know.

0:23:340:23:36

It's the final day and there's just time for one more activity -

0:23:420:23:45

the family cooking lesson.

0:23:450:23:47

All aboard!

0:23:470:23:48

But first, they have to buy the ingredients.

0:23:480:23:51

And how did the girls choose to travel? By horse, of course.

0:23:510:23:56

-Thank you very much.

-You're very welcome.

0:23:580:24:00

That's the food bought.

0:24:030:24:05

It's time for the Brown family to get suited up and into the kitchen.

0:24:050:24:09

-Did you get everything?

-Yes.

-Good. This is your dinner this evening.

0:24:090:24:13

We're going to do bruschetta, a cassoulet

0:24:130:24:16

and we're going to play

0:24:160:24:18

with some pancakes at the end.

0:24:180:24:19

Let's cook.

0:24:190:24:21

That's the main dish done, guys.

0:24:310:24:33

Probably, the best bit was making the pancakes.

0:24:370:24:40

Oh, cheers!

0:24:410:24:42

Rosie was the worst pancake-maker. She completely messed it up.

0:24:470:24:50

I've done it wrong.

0:24:500:24:52

Try that one again.

0:24:520:24:53

Brilliant. You've all done a great job.

0:24:530:24:55

Thank you very much. I think you deserve to sit down now,

0:24:550:24:58

and we'll present it to you as your meal.

0:24:580:25:01

We had a lot of fun in the kitchen

0:25:010:25:02

and it was really nice for us to cook together.

0:25:020:25:05

At home they don't do much cooking, apart from a bit of baking.

0:25:050:25:09

Excellent.

0:25:150:25:16

It's been really nice, all the family being together,

0:25:160:25:19

cooking and taking part.

0:25:190:25:21

I think it's made the meal nicer as well,

0:25:210:25:23

for us all to all eat it together afterwards.

0:25:230:25:26

Hey!

0:25:260:25:28

It's almost time to return home

0:25:300:25:33

but the fun on this family break's not even near being over,

0:25:330:25:37

because Elizabeth and Rosie have the chance to win a final treat.

0:25:370:25:41

OK, guys. It's treat time. I'm about to ask you three questions.

0:25:460:25:52

Get two of them right and you win the treat.

0:25:520:25:54

Get two wrong and

0:25:540:25:56

your parents will take to the skies, in the Gimme A Break helicopter.

0:25:560:26:01

-Are you ready?

-Yes.

-OK.

0:26:010:26:04

Question one.

0:26:040:26:06

What did your mum say was the worst activity of the break?

0:26:060:26:10

-She said Ringo Rides.

-Yeah.

-Oh!

0:26:160:26:18

Yeah, she said Ringo Rides.

0:26:180:26:21

Because it was cold. Yeah, Ringo Rides.

0:26:210:26:25

-Are you sure?

-Yeah.

0:26:250:26:27

This is what your mum said.

0:26:270:26:29

The worst activity for me on this break had to be the Ringo Rides.

0:26:290:26:33

-They were horrific.

-Yes!

-Hurray!

0:26:330:26:37

Good work, girls. OK, get this next question correct

0:26:370:26:40

and you're up in the Gimme A Break helicopter.

0:26:400:26:43

Get it wrong and your parents are back in business. Question two.

0:26:430:26:47

How did your dad describe Rosie's pancake?

0:26:470:26:50

Disaster!

0:26:580:26:59

"Oh, that is terrible!"

0:27:020:27:04

Girls, I now need your final answer.

0:27:040:27:07

B, a disaster.

0:27:070:27:10

You're saying B, disaster.

0:27:100:27:13

Here's what your dad said.

0:27:140:27:16

If I had to sum up Rosie's pancake it would be one word,

0:27:160:27:19

-it would be "disaster".

-Yeah!

0:27:190:27:22

Shoo, shoo!

0:27:250:27:26

Hug!

0:27:280:27:29

I love this.

0:27:380:27:39

The flight was really, really good,

0:27:400:27:42

experiencing something I'd never done before.

0:27:420:27:44

I'm gutted, really. What about you?

0:27:440:27:47

Yeah. I was looking forward to the helicopter ride.

0:27:470:27:50

I think the Gimme A Break experience has been wonderful for our family.

0:27:500:27:53

It's brought us closer together.

0:27:530:27:55

We've done things we wouldn't have done before

0:27:550:27:58

and I would be open to doing more things again.

0:27:580:28:01

Taking charge with all the rules,

0:28:010:28:03

that was just awesome.

0:28:030:28:05

Perfect end to a perfect holiday.

0:28:070:28:09

Yeah!

0:28:090:28:11
