0:00:19 > 0:00:23We're about to unpack Gimme A Break, the show where the kids take control
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Mum and Dad always takes us on
0:01:03 > 0:01:04in the middle of the forest.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10I have in the past got them lost.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14It's really tiring. You don't feel
0:01:14 > 0:01:17I sometimes forget that no matter
0:01:17 > 0:01:19you've got to come back again.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22Mum, she always sings in the car -
0:01:29 > 0:01:31In The Air Tonight, by Phil Collins.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38always have to stay in a cottage.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48someone else to wait on us.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50We do wait on them, don't we? Yeah.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55Look at this. We're not even on
0:01:55 > 0:01:58are busy making sandwiches and I think it's time that stopped.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02Are you two ready to take control of the family break? Yes. Yes.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08reading out the Parents' Promise.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11Hands on hearts. Read that out. OK.
0:02:11 > 0:02:15BOTH: We, parents of Jack and Emily,
0:02:20 > 0:02:23Mum's enjoying that very much,
0:02:23 > 0:02:27but you've said it now which means you two are in total control.
0:02:27 > 0:02:28How does that feel, Jack? Excellent.
0:02:31 > 0:02:35Yes. Wonderful. As they're in charge, I think we can have the sandwiches.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Let's go and chat. Come on.
0:02:37 > 0:02:45I'm guessing that this is where
0:02:45 > 0:02:56can find the perfect break.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58High adrenaline activities.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Are you scared of heights, you two?
0:03:00 > 0:03:06How do you feel about animals?
0:03:07 > 0:03:19action, adrenalin, adventure?
0:03:21 > 0:03:24but I'm not going to just tell them
0:03:36 > 0:03:41I picked up the poo and then we
0:03:41 > 0:03:45Might be cleaning up after animals.
0:03:48 > 0:03:54Rivers. Lakes. Rivers. Lakes. Then we saw a big pink castle.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57It's a castle. Bouncy castle. Whoa.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01Do you think they'll cook for us?
0:04:05 > 0:04:10BOTH: "Will your parents POO POO
0:04:10 > 0:04:16It could be like a posh holiday
0:04:27 > 0:04:29There's an arrow. Look. Pointing.
0:04:39 > 0:04:44It could be like silly things and
0:04:50 > 0:04:55a can of silly string and a card.
0:04:55 > 0:05:03"Do you SEA your family on this
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Can Jack and Emily race through
0:05:14 > 0:05:32"You're on COURSE but don't spring
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Eventually, I leaned over and got it
0:05:35 > 0:05:42"Can you survive this CYMRAEG
0:05:52 > 0:05:54have guessed the breaks on offer.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01You'll be living in a castle,
0:06:02 > 0:06:04..it's in the Lake District.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11Living a life of luxury in a castle.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15That's when you're not rock climbing
0:06:15 > 0:06:18How about looking after giraffes,
0:06:40 > 0:06:45going snorkelling with seals,
0:06:47 > 0:06:50How do you feel about the boat activities, sailing and snorkelling?
0:06:50 > 0:06:53I never thought I'd be snorkelling
0:06:53 > 0:06:56Are you ready to see Break Number 3?
0:06:56 > 0:07:01This is a Welsh coastal adventure,
0:07:10 > 0:07:13When you're not doing that, you can kick back and relax,
0:07:16 > 0:07:19You seem to like the idea of getting
0:07:29 > 0:07:32but now, you've got to take
0:07:33 > 0:07:36I'm leaving Jack and Emily alone,
0:08:15 > 0:08:17The Welsh coastal adventure.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Absolutely brilliant. Really great.
0:08:23 > 0:08:28I'll give you the chance to play for one last very special amazing treat,
0:08:31 > 0:08:33I'm going to ask you some questions.
0:08:38 > 0:08:44your parents get the treat. So you can start thinking about that.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46Have a good time. Thank you.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53So the Brays, who usually get
0:08:53 > 0:08:56are off to South Wales for an
0:08:56 > 0:09:00Go! Will Mum cope with coasteering?
0:09:10 > 0:09:14The day before the holiday, Jack and Emily have an important job to do -
0:09:18 > 0:09:21There's stuff up there that
0:09:21 > 0:09:22He doesn't like wearing them.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25Bermuda shorts and stuff like that.
0:09:44 > 0:09:45Next morning, the Brays are off
0:09:45 > 0:09:49and they're using the Gimme A Break Fam Cam to capture the moment.
0:10:08 > 0:10:15First class, all the way to Swansea.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18It's not long before Mum and Dad are
0:10:39 > 0:10:42We are gonna be going...on...
0:10:43 > 0:10:46a coastal adventure holiday.
0:10:46 > 0:10:52Yeah? And? And we're gonna be staying in a four-star hotel.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55No way! Four-star hotel. Four-star!
0:10:55 > 0:10:57I don't know what they've got
0:11:00 > 0:11:03Keep the rest of it...zipped.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11I think when Mum finds out, her face is going to be like this -
0:11:26 > 0:11:29have done well with the hotel,
0:11:29 > 0:11:32but have they done a good job on the packing? Oh, well...
0:11:32 > 0:11:36That's really nicely packed! I hope you packed an iron in here.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39I don't think they could have got
0:11:39 > 0:11:42They obviously saw us ironing
0:11:42 > 0:11:45and then thought, "It doesn't matter, we'll chuck it in".
0:11:46 > 0:11:50but we just couldn't be bothered
0:11:51 > 0:11:55That's the only pair they've put in,
0:12:02 > 0:12:04At least they have clothes.
0:12:10 > 0:12:15Jack and Emily are in charge,
0:12:15 > 0:12:20Now, they'll be no self-catering
0:12:20 > 0:12:24Jack and Emily get to choose
0:12:24 > 0:12:28And we have to eat it, do we?
0:12:28 > 0:12:42Yeah. Cos then you won't get
0:12:42 > 0:12:46is that Mum and Dad aren't allowed to do any embarrassing impressions,
0:12:46 > 0:12:49accents or singing. All right?
0:12:49 > 0:12:51That's going to be difficult.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Oh, and remember, Mum and Dad,
0:13:10 > 0:13:13then there'll be consequences.
0:13:13 > 0:13:18I'll be back after the break
0:13:19 > 0:13:22The one about not being embarrassed,
0:13:22 > 0:13:25I don't know if I'll be able
0:13:35 > 0:13:38Next morning, Jack and Emily are fired up and ready for action.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42I can't wait for the activity today.
0:13:42 > 0:13:43Yeah. Looks like it, Emily.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47And this is where the Brays coastal adventure will begin,
0:13:49 > 0:13:53Mum and Dad must be wondering why they're wearing wetsuits?
0:13:53 > 0:13:57Today, we're gonna be doing coasteering and that means,
0:14:02 > 0:14:04You're having a laugh, right?
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Jumping off the rocks into the sea?
0:14:06 > 0:14:10I'm a bit scared. I'm very scared.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20around the rocky coastline.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24To do it safely, you need a helmet, a buoyancy aid and a wetsuit.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Oh, and an experienced instructor...
0:14:28 > 0:14:35Follow me, as we swim. OK? Let's go!
0:14:35 > 0:14:38She's made it to the deep water
0:14:42 > 0:14:45I was thinking there's no way - I'll take the consequence -
0:14:45 > 0:14:51that I'm going to get in the water
0:14:51 > 0:14:53she just can't go any further.
0:14:53 > 0:15:08I had fun, but I don't want to ruin
0:15:08 > 0:15:27For the rest of the family,
0:15:34 > 0:15:38Three, two, one, go! Lovely!
0:15:50 > 0:15:53We're encouraging each other to do the jumps and things like that.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56And when we get in the water, we all cling on to each other,
0:15:56 > 0:15:58so we don't like float off.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01OK, you ready for some bigger jumps?
0:16:04 > 0:16:06(RAP) Jump, jump, uh-huh, uh-huh.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19Think if the jumps get higher,
0:16:19 > 0:16:20I'm really up for it now. I love it.
0:16:20 > 0:16:25Well, Dad, if you like high jumps - you're going to love this one.
0:16:27 > 0:16:31The Brays will be leaping off a
0:16:34 > 0:16:36We've got the big jump coming up,
0:16:36 > 0:16:39so I'm feeling a bit less confident
0:16:39 > 0:16:41but I still really want to do it.
0:16:43 > 0:16:48and now it's time for the final big jump to do, then we've done it all.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02cos I was a little bit scared.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04OK. Here we go. Are you ready?
0:17:19 > 0:17:22Oh, my God! I'm doing that again!
0:17:22 > 0:17:25It was just that, I was really scared
0:17:25 > 0:17:31cos I wanted to be proud of myself.
0:17:37 > 0:17:49When we stood there and looked
0:17:54 > 0:18:00and I think we might have to
0:18:00 > 0:18:04Back on dry land, there's the small matter of Mum's rule-breaking
0:18:04 > 0:18:06to attend to and as a consequence,
0:18:06 > 0:18:11Jack and Emily have decided to make Mum eat a food she absolutely hates.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20That is absolutely disgusting! I can't eat that. I'm sorry.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22Come on, Mum. You've got to do it.
0:18:22 > 0:18:23Might have to hold my nose.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41Then it's back to the hotel for something a little more tasty,
0:18:41 > 0:18:44cos Jack and Emily are putting a holiday rule into action,
0:18:44 > 0:18:45by choosing the family meal.
0:18:45 > 0:18:50And they decide to do something
0:18:53 > 0:18:57Could we have grilled burger
0:18:57 > 0:19:02Selection of cheeses with crackers, grapes and chutney. Thank you. Bye.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05It's not long before the food
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Crayfish risotto. This is my one.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14Wow! Come on, guys. Eat up!
0:19:14 > 0:19:17to get my mouth round this.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25as the Brays head out to sea.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33They're about to be shipwrecked
0:19:38 > 0:19:42Wilderness expert Andy's there to teach them all the skills they need.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46and we've got a huge amount to do.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49We've got to build a fire and a shelter. It's a survival course.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51OK. What are you waiting for?
0:19:51 > 0:19:54It's a trek through the woods
0:20:00 > 0:20:15At the campsite, the first task is to put up their shelters.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31Come on, Jack. Give it a go.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Sleeping arrangements sorted.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50We've gotta cook some food, so, we have to have a fire.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53And use a bow just like that,
0:20:55 > 0:20:59is start the drill spinning.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02start to get a bit of smoke.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Can you see the smoke, Jack?
0:21:08 > 0:21:10That dust is still smoking,
0:21:10 > 0:21:12so I'm gonna try and keep it
0:21:24 > 0:21:26That caught quick, didn't it?
0:21:26 > 0:21:28That's better than Dad's barbecues,
0:21:30 > 0:21:34Fish on a stick for dinner.
0:21:34 > 0:21:35I'm gonna be sick in a minute.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37Come on, Emily. Get stuck in.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49the family can get stuck in.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54has been fantastic, so far.
0:22:21 > 0:22:28and I think we all know who had
0:22:29 > 0:22:32Breakfast over. Time for the
0:22:32 > 0:22:36A monstrously muddy assault course.
0:22:38 > 0:22:53important job of team leader.
0:22:53 > 0:22:59and Mum's keeping them moving.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05and look at Jack, making it look nice and easy. Come on, Emily.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10Oh, disaster! Dad's lost it!
0:23:10 > 0:23:12Come on, Dad. No time for slacking.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14You'll be doing this till Christmas.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21They're halfway through now and Jack leads them over the cargo net.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28No, Mum, really, that isn't helping.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34Jack and Emily pushed him in!
0:23:42 > 0:23:45What a mess! This is nasty.
0:23:45 > 0:23:51but they're powering through.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03really enjoyed it, haven't we, kids?
0:24:03 > 0:24:06was when Dad fell in all the mud.
0:24:06 > 0:24:11to a nice hot bath or a shower
0:24:11 > 0:24:13and a nice comfortable bed.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22Before the end of the holiday, there's one last treat to play for.
0:24:39 > 0:24:43Get two wrong and it's your parents who'll be having a real blast.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45All right. OK. Question one.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07falling out of the hammock.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19That's the first question correct.
0:25:21 > 0:25:26she enjoyed most about the break?
0:25:26 > 0:25:33Did she say, A - spending time
0:25:41 > 0:25:45Our answer is A - spending time
0:25:51 > 0:25:55spending time with the family.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59What I enjoyed most about the trip
0:26:06 > 0:26:10got one right and one wrong.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12So it all comes down to this.
0:26:12 > 0:26:16Answer the final question correctly and you get the water ride.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19Get it wrong and your parents
0:26:26 > 0:26:31was the hardest part of the holiday?
0:27:01 > 0:27:03OK, guys. You're going with A.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08Hardest part of the whole break
0:27:08 > 0:27:20has been handing over control
0:27:22 > 0:27:24Gutted, really. It looks like a
0:27:24 > 0:27:25I was looking forward to that.
