This is Gimme A Break, where kids take over the family holiday. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:53 | |
It's show time. On Gimme A Break, the kids have all the say. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:58 | |
They decide where they go, what activities to do | 0:00:58 | 0:01:00 | |
and, most importantly, | 0:01:00 | 0:01:02 | |
they're in charge of the holiday rules. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:04 | |
Today, it's the Griffin family. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:09 | |
Meet the Griffins. Postman dad, | 0:01:09 | 0:01:12 | |
housewife mum, | 0:01:12 | 0:01:13 | |
12-year-old Joe | 0:01:13 | 0:01:15 | |
and 11-year-old Jack. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:17 | |
So why do the kids need to be given a break? | 0:01:17 | 0:01:20 | |
My mum and dad are always lazy. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:23 | |
Mum never joins in. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:26 | |
I'm a girly girl | 0:01:26 | 0:01:27 | |
and I like doing | 0:01:27 | 0:01:30 | |
serene, relaxing things. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:31 | |
One thing mum does like doing on holidays is shopping. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:36 | |
-Accessory shops... -Perfume Shops... | 0:01:36 | 0:01:38 | |
..jewellery shops... | 0:01:38 | 0:01:40 | |
..handbag shops. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:41 | |
And she drags me and Joe behind her. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:43 | |
They like doing that. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:44 | |
My dad is a bit of a moaner. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:46 | |
"Oh, I don't want to do that." | 0:01:46 | 0:01:49 | |
What starts it off is they do a lot of moaning. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:52 | |
You can't go talk to him, because he just goes, "Ssh." | 0:01:52 | 0:01:55 | |
Moan, moan, moan. And I might moan because of that. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:58 | |
When it's really, really hot, | 0:01:58 | 0:02:00 | |
he'll just go, "Oh, it's freezing. It's going to kill me, this is." | 0:02:00 | 0:02:04 | |
It takes me probably half an hour to get into the sea. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:08 | |
And that's just up to my kneecaps. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:10 | |
We go on caravan, | 0:02:12 | 0:02:14 | |
boring, boring holidays. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
-SCREAMING -It's interesting to me, | 0:02:16 | 0:02:20 | |
but of course the boys find it really quite sad. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:22 | |
We take their views into account but, at the end of the day, | 0:02:22 | 0:02:26 | |
-we do what we want to do. -We're mum and dad. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:28 | |
-We are. -And that's what mums and dads do. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:30 | |
Right, Griffins, quite frankly, this is not on. OK? Family holidays | 0:02:30 | 0:02:34 | |
are meant to be fun, so it's time to do something about it. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:37 | |
Boys, are you ready to take control of the family holiday? | 0:02:37 | 0:02:40 | |
-Whoo! -Hands on hearts please, and read out the parents' promise. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:45 | |
"We, the parents of Joe and Jack, | 0:02:45 | 0:02:48 | |
"hereby hand over control of the next family holiday." | 0:02:48 | 0:02:52 | |
The holiday is yours, gentlemen. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:56 | |
We'll chat about holidays. Parents, | 0:02:56 | 0:02:58 | |
I'm sure you've got something interesting to do. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:00 | |
If you'd like to go off in that direction and do it. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
Let's go. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:04 | |
'What do the boys want in the next family break? I went to find out | 0:03:04 | 0:03:08 | |
'in the dreaded caravan.' | 0:03:08 | 0:03:10 | |
I'm not able to get my head in here. Look at this, this is tiny. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
What do you want from your holiday? | 0:03:13 | 0:03:16 | |
Something we'll never forget. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:19 | |
-We love animals. -My dad, he hates the water. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:22 | |
-But who's in charge of a holiday? -Us. -Exactly. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:24 | |
-Hold on a minute! -Get out of here. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:28 | |
Something every day. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:29 | |
Busy, busy, busy. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:31 | |
So I've heard what they're looking for | 0:03:31 | 0:03:33 | |
and we've lined up three great breaks to choose from, | 0:03:33 | 0:03:36 | |
but can they figure out the holidays on offer | 0:03:36 | 0:03:40 | |
from the cryptic clues we've left? | 0:03:40 | 0:03:42 | |
First up, all Joe and Jack have to do is bring | 0:03:42 | 0:03:45 | |
the treasure chest back from the island. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:47 | |
Oh, yes, dressed up as pirates. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:50 | |
Oh, this is really working my muscles. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:52 | |
But as soon as they set sail, Joe gets into troubled waters. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:56 | |
-I need help. -Land ahoy! | 0:03:56 | 0:03:58 | |
I've got it. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:02 | |
Safely back on dry land, | 0:04:02 | 0:04:04 | |
the boys examine the clues. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:06 | |
-Coconuts. -A map. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:09 | |
We looked at the clues and we thought it was going to be somewhere hot. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:14 | |
-Oh, a ship. -It might be a ship. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:20 | |
I think this break will be... | 0:04:20 | 0:04:23 | |
-going on a pirate ship. -If it was that kind of holiday, | 0:04:23 | 0:04:27 | |
-then I wouldn't enjoy it because I get seasick really easily. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:31 | |
Oh dear. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:32 | |
Maybe that's not a good choice after all. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:35 | |
Right, on to 2, where I've set | 0:04:35 | 0:04:36 | |
the boys a slippery task, | 0:04:36 | 0:04:38 | |
to rescue these puppies from the middle of the ice. | 0:04:38 | 0:04:41 | |
Joe, come on. Go slow if you want. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:45 | |
Come on, Joe. I've seen the huskies. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:48 | |
We found two huskies and a card. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:51 | |
It says: | 0:04:51 | 0:04:52 | |
All right, Joe, the flag. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:57 | |
And this is the Finland flag. | 0:04:57 | 0:04:58 | |
Well, we found some really strange meat. | 0:04:58 | 0:05:03 | |
It was something like dog or husky or something. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:06 | |
-That's a disco ball. -Probably the Northern Lights. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:11 | |
We think it was Finland and we think it will be like | 0:05:11 | 0:05:16 | |
to go on a husky ride or something. | 0:05:16 | 0:05:17 | |
Well, it will be fun for me and Jack but Mum and Dad won't like it. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:21 | |
They don't really like the cold. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:23 | |
Right, time for break 3. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:25 | |
Joe and Jack are getting | 0:05:25 | 0:05:27 | |
all wrapped up in this one. | 0:05:27 | 0:05:29 | |
Tuck it into my shoe. | 0:05:30 | 0:05:32 | |
There was this figure thing of Tutankhamen. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:38 | |
All that gold stuff in the tombs and everything. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:41 | |
And my brother had to put some goggles on and dip his head | 0:05:41 | 0:05:44 | |
in the water to read out the clue. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:47 | |
It says... | 0:05:47 | 0:05:48 | |
I think it's a scuba-diving | 0:05:52 | 0:05:55 | |
or water holiday and in Egypt. | 0:05:55 | 0:05:59 | |
Right, that is it. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:01 | |
Clues over, but have they guessed the breaks on offer | 0:06:01 | 0:06:04 | |
and which one will they choose? | 0:06:04 | 0:06:06 | |
Now then, we're about to find out where you could be going | 0:06:07 | 0:06:11 | |
on your break of a lifetime. Excited? | 0:06:11 | 0:06:13 | |
-Yes. -Yes. -Right, do you want to talk breaks? -Yes. -OK. | 0:06:13 | 0:06:17 | |
Break 1. It's a seven-day Caribbean cruise. | 0:06:17 | 0:06:22 | |
-Oh yeah. -Would you like to know a bit more about it? | 0:06:22 | 0:06:25 | |
-Yes. -Yeah. -Take a look at this, have a look. | 0:06:25 | 0:06:28 | |
Forget the rowing boats, boys, on this break | 0:06:28 | 0:06:30 | |
you'd be living on the world's largest passenger ship, | 0:06:30 | 0:06:33 | |
complete with swimming pools, climbing wall and its own ice rink. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:37 | |
Your dad wouldn't find anything to moan about here, would he? | 0:06:37 | 0:06:41 | |
That's it. Hands up who's ever been surfing before. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:45 | |
Hands up who'd like to have a go. | 0:06:45 | 0:06:47 | |
Good, because it's got a surfing machine. | 0:06:47 | 0:06:49 | |
You literally stand on a surfboard and surf. You like that? | 0:06:49 | 0:06:53 | |
-Really? -Yeah. That's genuine. -Cool. -But one thing, Joe, | 0:06:53 | 0:06:56 | |
you mentioned that you were seasick. | 0:06:56 | 0:06:58 | |
How concerned are you about this? | 0:06:58 | 0:07:00 | |
Well, it's not really on big ships. | 0:07:00 | 0:07:02 | |
But are you worried about it? | 0:07:02 | 0:07:04 | |
-If so, speak up now. -No. -Are you sure? -I'm sure. -OK, | 0:07:04 | 0:07:07 | |
I can now reveal that Break 2 | 0:07:07 | 0:07:09 | |
is a freezing Finnish adventure. | 0:07:09 | 0:07:12 | |
Yes. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:14 | |
There would be no chance of your mum going on shopping trips. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:17 | |
You can go ice climbing, | 0:07:17 | 0:07:19 | |
riding on snowmobiles and sledding with your own team of huskies. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:24 | |
And the disco lights? Well, on this break, | 0:07:24 | 0:07:26 | |
you're in with a chance of seeing the Northern Lights. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:29 | |
-Amazing. -So, how do you think your parents | 0:07:29 | 0:07:31 | |
would feel about having a slightly cold holiday? | 0:07:31 | 0:07:34 | |
-My dad would moan a lot. -Have you ever been anywhere like that? | 0:07:34 | 0:07:37 | |
-No. -No. -No, never. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:40 | |
Time to tell you all about Break 3, | 0:07:40 | 0:07:42 | |
-an Egyptian scuba-diving holiday. -Cool. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:45 | |
-You like the sound of that? -Yeah. | 0:07:45 | 0:07:47 | |
Good, you'll like the look of this. Take a look. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:50 | |
You must to get used to plunging your head into the water | 0:07:50 | 0:07:53 | |
if you pick this one. You'll be staying in a hotel by the Red Sea | 0:07:53 | 0:07:56 | |
that has loads of water activities, | 0:07:56 | 0:07:59 | |
and you'll be learning how to scuba dive. | 0:07:59 | 0:08:02 | |
Your mum and dad couldn't laze around on this break, boys. | 0:08:02 | 0:08:05 | |
Well what about that? | 0:08:05 | 0:08:06 | |
-Yes. -That was good. | 0:08:06 | 0:08:08 | |
It's non-stop, isn't it? | 0:08:08 | 0:08:10 | |
That's what we like about it. | 0:08:10 | 0:08:12 | |
Non-stop holiday. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:13 | |
Well, one of these is going to be their break | 0:08:13 | 0:08:16 | |
but they've got to decide which one. | 0:08:16 | 0:08:18 | |
I wonder which one they'll choose. | 0:08:18 | 0:08:20 | |
Give me your answer... | 0:08:20 | 0:08:24 | |
-..now. -Break Number 1, | 0:08:27 | 0:08:31 | |
-the Caribbean cruise. -You're going on the cruise! | 0:08:31 | 0:08:33 | |
I thought you were going to go for the frozen Finnish adventure. | 0:08:33 | 0:08:37 | |
You surprise me. Why the cruise, Joe? | 0:08:37 | 0:08:40 | |
Because it has the Flowrider | 0:08:40 | 0:08:41 | |
and it will be really, really funny seen my dad go on that. | 0:08:41 | 0:08:45 | |
Your mum and dad getting on the surfboard. That is genius! | 0:08:45 | 0:08:49 | |
Well, I think you've picked a fantastic break. | 0:08:49 | 0:08:51 | |
There'll be a very special treat for you. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:53 | |
During the holiday, I'm going to pop up and ask you a little quiz. | 0:08:53 | 0:08:57 | |
Get the quiz right, and you'll win a one-off extra-special treat. | 0:08:57 | 0:09:01 | |
Get it wrong, and your parents win the treat. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:05 | |
-Oh no. -So as well as a holiday, | 0:09:05 | 0:09:07 | |
there's a little extra something. Good luck and have a brilliant time. | 0:09:07 | 0:09:11 | |
So the Griffins were squashed in to their caravan on holidays | 0:09:14 | 0:09:17 | |
are off to set sail on the largest cruise ship | 0:09:17 | 0:09:21 | |
in the world, whose top speed is a whopping... | 0:09:21 | 0:09:27 | |
How will mum and dad cope with not being able to laze around? | 0:09:27 | 0:09:30 | |
I'm seriously thinking about backing out. | 0:09:30 | 0:09:32 | |
And who will win the final treat? | 0:09:32 | 0:09:34 | |
We're going to have to guess. | 0:09:34 | 0:09:36 | |
No, this can't be. We've got to guess. | 0:09:36 | 0:09:39 | |
The Griffins leave tomorrow and because Mum and Dad | 0:09:41 | 0:09:44 | |
don't know where they're going, Joe and Jack get packing. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:47 | |
They always stitch me up, constantly. | 0:09:47 | 0:09:49 | |
So this is going to be an even bigger stitch-up. | 0:09:49 | 0:09:53 | |
-These should go, yeah? -Yeah. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:55 | |
Can't wait to see them like this. | 0:09:55 | 0:09:57 | |
They'll have a field day in my wardrobe. | 0:09:59 | 0:10:01 | |
Hilarious. | 0:10:01 | 0:10:02 | |
My wardrobe is all labelled. | 0:10:02 | 0:10:04 | |
-Let's swap all these around, look. -I do the packing. | 0:10:04 | 0:10:07 | |
I get nice white tissue paper and put it between the layers. | 0:10:07 | 0:10:11 | |
-Bra... -I think that's... -And they're folded like they are in the shop. | 0:10:11 | 0:10:15 | |
Just put this drawer in. | 0:10:15 | 0:10:17 | |
T-shirts rolled, socks are put in shoes. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:20 | |
We'll have them. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:22 | |
Everything's just ready to hang up. | 0:10:22 | 0:10:24 | |
The boys certainly will not pack to my standard. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:29 | |
Mum, I think you might be right. | 0:10:29 | 0:10:32 | |
After a little difficulty getting the cases in the car... | 0:10:32 | 0:10:36 | |
..the Griffins are off to the airport and Mum and Dad | 0:10:40 | 0:10:43 | |
still don't know where they're flying to. | 0:10:43 | 0:10:46 | |
-I think we might be going to Turkey. -It's nerve-racking | 0:10:46 | 0:10:49 | |
telling Mum and Dad where we're going. BOYS: We're going to Miami. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:52 | |
-Miami? -Miami? | 0:10:52 | 0:10:55 | |
Oh, my God. What, America Miami? | 0:10:55 | 0:10:58 | |
Yes, Mum, America Miami. | 0:11:00 | 0:11:02 | |
That's only the start of their break and the boys choose to keep | 0:11:02 | 0:11:05 | |
everything else a big secret until they get there. | 0:11:05 | 0:11:09 | |
-Mum, Dad. -Yes. -We said we were going to Miami, yeah? | 0:11:09 | 0:11:13 | |
But we're not going to stay in Miami. | 0:11:13 | 0:11:15 | |
-Right. -OK, Joe, | 0:11:15 | 0:11:18 | |
get ready. This is our break! | 0:11:18 | 0:11:22 | |
A Caribbean cruise. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:26 | |
Blimey. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:32 | |
I was expecting them to kind of scream with excitement, | 0:11:34 | 0:11:38 | |
but they kind of just stood there, just doing facial emotions, like... | 0:11:38 | 0:11:43 | |
Opened our eyes and there's a big cruise ship there. | 0:11:43 | 0:11:49 | |
I was imagining the worst sort of thing and this, to me, is luxury. | 0:11:49 | 0:11:52 | |
I just... I don't... I'm sorry, I'm just lost for words. | 0:11:52 | 0:11:57 | |
They're really excited, but they don't know | 0:11:58 | 0:12:01 | |
what's on board and what we've got in store. | 0:12:01 | 0:12:03 | |
Longer than three football pitches and bigger than 50,000 caravans, | 0:12:03 | 0:12:09 | |
this cruise ship is an enormous floating hotel. | 0:12:09 | 0:12:13 | |
-That's really warm. -Definitely going in that. | 0:12:17 | 0:12:20 | |
Look at the view! | 0:12:21 | 0:12:23 | |
Who says I'm volunteering for this one? | 0:12:23 | 0:12:25 | |
You're doing it as well. | 0:12:25 | 0:12:27 | |
No way are you getting me up there. | 0:12:28 | 0:12:31 | |
Woah! | 0:12:32 | 0:12:34 | |
-A bit bigger than the caravan, innit? -Yeah. | 0:12:36 | 0:12:39 | |
Shops, shops everywhere. | 0:12:40 | 0:12:42 | |
It's like the Titanic. | 0:12:44 | 0:12:46 | |
Having found their cabin, | 0:12:46 | 0:12:48 | |
amongst the 1,800 on board, | 0:12:48 | 0:12:51 | |
Joe and and Jack let Mum and Dad unpack. | 0:12:51 | 0:12:54 | |
-I'm not looking forward to this. -Right, the moment of truth. | 0:12:54 | 0:12:59 | |
What are we going to find in here then? | 0:12:59 | 0:13:01 | |
They were speechless when they opened their cases. It was funny. | 0:13:01 | 0:13:05 | |
They're creased. What are all these handbags for? | 0:13:05 | 0:13:07 | |
We like just chucked it in. | 0:13:07 | 0:13:09 | |
-What's that? -We had no time to fold. | 0:13:09 | 0:13:12 | |
It was like an explosion of clothes. | 0:13:12 | 0:13:14 | |
You know how I like my clothes. | 0:13:14 | 0:13:17 | |
Look at the state of it. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:18 | |
They're creased, they need ironing. Mum? | 0:13:18 | 0:13:21 | |
We like to look smart, you know, and we just felt a bit scruffy. | 0:13:21 | 0:13:25 | |
Look at that... | 0:13:25 | 0:13:28 | |
It's not creased! | 0:13:28 | 0:13:29 | |
What is this? | 0:13:29 | 0:13:31 | |
Dad, can you put your fairy wings on as well please? | 0:13:31 | 0:13:33 | |
Are you seriously thinking that I've got to go out in this? | 0:13:33 | 0:13:36 | |
You never know. | 0:13:36 | 0:13:38 | |
When I pack for our holidays, you fold... | 0:13:38 | 0:13:41 | |
Yeah, three weeks before. | 0:13:41 | 0:13:42 | |
And you fold, and you roll. | 0:13:42 | 0:13:45 | |
You unfold, and you throw. | 0:13:45 | 0:13:47 | |
Out of ten, I would rate the boys four. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:50 | |
The way they've packed, minus ten out of ten. | 0:13:50 | 0:13:54 | |
But for what they have packed, I would rate them six out of ten. | 0:13:54 | 0:13:58 | |
The ship sets sail and Miami fades into the distance. | 0:14:00 | 0:14:03 | |
Next stop, Puerto Rico in two days' time. Let the cruise began. | 0:14:03 | 0:14:08 | |
Ahoy there m'hearties! Actually look, | 0:14:11 | 0:14:14 | |
it's only Jake. I hope you're well. | 0:14:14 | 0:14:16 | |
Did you know that on pirate ships every pirate | 0:14:16 | 0:14:19 | |
was given a vote to decide where to go and which ships to attack? | 0:14:19 | 0:14:23 | |
Well, on your break, Joe and Jack are in charge, so Mum and Dad, | 0:14:23 | 0:14:26 | |
listen up, because these are your holiday rules. Rule number 1. Mum, | 0:14:26 | 0:14:32 | |
because you make the boys go shopping, | 0:14:32 | 0:14:34 | |
you will be allowed in shops | 0:14:34 | 0:14:36 | |
for a maximum of one minute at a time. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:39 | |
No... | 0:14:39 | 0:14:41 | |
Rule number 2, Dad, | 0:14:41 | 0:14:43 | |
no morning, no groaning and no grumbling. | 0:14:43 | 0:14:45 | |
If you do any of those, there'll be a punishment. You have been warned. | 0:14:45 | 0:14:49 | |
And rule number 3, Joe and Jack can be as messy as they like. | 0:14:49 | 0:14:54 | |
Have a brilliant break and I'll be back soon | 0:14:54 | 0:14:56 | |
to tell you all about your chance | 0:14:56 | 0:14:58 | |
to play for one final treat. See you soon. | 0:14:58 | 0:15:01 | |
ALL: Bye. | 0:15:01 | 0:15:02 | |
I'll find it really hard, because the boys think | 0:15:02 | 0:15:05 | |
that when I open my mouth I'm moaning but I'm not. | 0:15:05 | 0:15:08 | |
I'm just going to be my normal self and it'll be proved | 0:15:08 | 0:15:12 | |
that I don't moan, moan, moan, moan, moan, moan. | 0:15:12 | 0:15:15 | |
I'm seriously not happy. | 0:15:15 | 0:15:17 | |
I come on a beautiful big ship like this with loads of shops, | 0:15:17 | 0:15:21 | |
and I'm allowed one minute in each shop. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:23 | |
After an afternoon of splashing around, | 0:15:23 | 0:15:26 | |
Mum begins to bend the rules. | 0:15:26 | 0:15:29 | |
See, boys, line. | 0:15:30 | 0:15:33 | |
'Not officially in the shop. The shop's come to me.' | 0:15:33 | 0:15:36 | |
So the following day, Joe and Jack decide to up the tempo a bit. | 0:15:36 | 0:15:41 | |
Up, up, up! Out of bed! Come on! Come on, get up! | 0:15:41 | 0:15:44 | |
-Mum... -Oh, shut up. | 0:15:44 | 0:15:47 | |
The surfing simulator was a reason why Joe and Jack picked the break. | 0:15:49 | 0:15:53 | |
But Mum and Dad are beginning to wish they'd never got out of bed. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:56 | |
I'm dreading it, to be honest. | 0:15:56 | 0:15:59 | |
-So who's going to be first? -Mum. | 0:15:59 | 0:16:01 | |
I'd sooner go to the dentist and have root canal treatment. | 0:16:01 | 0:16:04 | |
You're doing it awesome, man. You're riding it. | 0:16:04 | 0:16:07 | |
Mum surprises everyone by staying on her feet, something that Dad... | 0:16:07 | 0:16:11 | |
..Joe... | 0:16:14 | 0:16:15 | |
..and Jack don't quite achieve. | 0:16:17 | 0:16:19 | |
Perhaps they'll have more luck with the boogie boards. | 0:16:21 | 0:16:24 | |
First of all, we want the bottom of the boogie board | 0:16:24 | 0:16:27 | |
right into your waist. OK? | 0:16:27 | 0:16:29 | |
We're going to hold the board three-quarters up, | 0:16:29 | 0:16:32 | |
tuck your elbows in. | 0:16:32 | 0:16:34 | |
OK, once you guys get going, you can do a whole bunch of tricks. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:37 | |
You can do the barrel roll, you can get on your knees, | 0:16:37 | 0:16:41 | |
you could do Supermans, and all sorts of things. | 0:16:41 | 0:16:43 | |
Ladies first again? | 0:16:43 | 0:16:44 | |
One, two, three, go, go. | 0:16:44 | 0:16:48 | |
Awesome. | 0:16:51 | 0:16:52 | |
It takes a lot to get me in to the water but I really enjoyed it. | 0:16:52 | 0:16:56 | |
Once I'd been on, I wanted to go again. | 0:16:56 | 0:16:58 | |
Yeah... | 0:16:58 | 0:17:00 | |
Awesome. | 0:17:00 | 0:17:02 | |
Yeah! | 0:17:06 | 0:17:09 | |
The body boarding was really fun and I did quite well. | 0:17:09 | 0:17:12 | |
People were telling me to do 360s, but I kept falling off at the end. | 0:17:12 | 0:17:16 | |
Well done, Jack. | 0:17:18 | 0:17:20 | |
Very good, my man. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:21 | |
Go, go! | 0:17:21 | 0:17:23 | |
So much better than being in a caravan. | 0:17:23 | 0:17:25 | |
Something that we definitely would not have done | 0:17:32 | 0:17:35 | |
if we hadn't have been on this holiday. So it's been a change. | 0:17:35 | 0:17:39 | |
It's all about trying new things | 0:17:41 | 0:17:43 | |
as the boys challenge Mum and Dad to a game of crazy golf. | 0:17:43 | 0:17:46 | |
Don't want to start moaning but I think it's a bit too windy for... | 0:17:48 | 0:17:51 | |
Stop moaning! | 0:17:51 | 0:17:53 | |
Come on, Jack. | 0:17:55 | 0:17:56 | |
Come on, you're useless! | 0:17:58 | 0:18:01 | |
Look, I can't even keep the ball... | 0:18:03 | 0:18:06 | |
Dad has just moaned about it being too windy and he can't hit the ball. | 0:18:06 | 0:18:10 | |
I can't keep the ball still. | 0:18:10 | 0:18:11 | |
I can't keep myself still. This is absolutely stupid. | 0:18:11 | 0:18:14 | |
You can see, it's blowing a gale. | 0:18:14 | 0:18:16 | |
-Caught you. -Caught me what? -Moaning. | 0:18:16 | 0:18:18 | |
-I won't moan no more. OK? -Good. | 0:18:18 | 0:18:20 | |
But old habits die hard. Before long, | 0:18:20 | 0:18:22 | |
he's moaning about something else. | 0:18:22 | 0:18:24 | |
Boo! See, the wind did that. | 0:18:24 | 0:18:27 | |
-Do you think I'm moaning? -Yeah. | 0:18:27 | 0:18:30 | |
Be as well to stop. It's too windy to play today. | 0:18:30 | 0:18:32 | |
-No, we're carrying on, Dad. -I'm off. | 0:18:32 | 0:18:34 | |
Family rule number 2 says that if Dad moans, | 0:18:34 | 0:18:37 | |
he'll receive a punishment. And the boys have had enough. | 0:18:37 | 0:18:41 | |
He's got too moany, so he's walked off. | 0:18:41 | 0:18:43 | |
Because he's moaned, he's going to have to have a punishment. | 0:18:43 | 0:18:47 | |
So they take him to the promenade deck. But Dad's not happy | 0:18:47 | 0:18:50 | |
that it's only him who's getting told off. | 0:18:50 | 0:18:53 | |
I've got to admit that Mum has been in the shops. | 0:18:53 | 0:18:56 | |
I just went in for a bit. | 0:18:56 | 0:18:59 | |
-More than a minute? -Yeah. | 0:18:59 | 0:19:01 | |
More than a minute. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:03 | |
But you weren't there, so I didn't think it counted. | 0:19:03 | 0:19:06 | |
I'm sorry. I didn't think. | 0:19:06 | 0:19:09 | |
Mum, sorry's not good enough, like you always say. | 0:19:09 | 0:19:12 | |
"Sorry's not good enough." | 0:19:12 | 0:19:14 | |
Ha-ha-ha! | 0:19:14 | 0:19:15 | |
Show-off! | 0:19:15 | 0:19:18 | |
You just sneaked off, when the boys weren't here, you just went. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:21 | |
And I've got to work so hard not to moan. It's really hard. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:25 | |
-I'm ashamed. -It's a natural instinct for me and shops, we're like that. | 0:19:25 | 0:19:30 | |
Why don't you get it over with and just punish me. | 0:19:30 | 0:19:33 | |
I'm fed up with waiting - punish me. | 0:19:33 | 0:19:35 | |
Put them on. | 0:19:35 | 0:19:37 | |
You what?! | 0:19:37 | 0:19:39 | |
And your matching wig. | 0:19:39 | 0:19:41 | |
Are you going to have a little dance? | 0:19:41 | 0:19:43 | |
Hit the street, go on. | 0:19:43 | 0:19:45 | |
Go and dance. | 0:19:45 | 0:19:46 | |
# It doesn't matter what you wear | 0:19:49 | 0:19:51 | |
# Just as long as you are there So, come on | 0:19:51 | 0:19:55 | |
# Every guy and every girl | 0:19:55 | 0:19:58 | |
# Everywhere around the world There'll be dancin'... # | 0:19:58 | 0:20:03 | |
Of all people, he doesn't really like embarrassing himself. | 0:20:03 | 0:20:06 | |
I think it was a little bit over the top, to say the least. | 0:20:06 | 0:20:10 | |
-It's not going to stop him from morning, is it? -No. | 0:20:10 | 0:20:14 | |
# ..Dancin' in the street. # | 0:20:14 | 0:20:16 | |
The next day, the ship docks at the island of St Thomas. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:20 | |
Where the boys have got a special activity planned. | 0:20:26 | 0:20:29 | |
Joe and Jack lead Mum and Dad off the cruise ship | 0:20:29 | 0:20:32 | |
and straight on to a smaller boat skippered by Cap'n Jim. | 0:20:32 | 0:20:35 | |
Welcome on board. | 0:20:35 | 0:20:37 | |
-I hear you two fellas chose this. -Yeah. -You're gonna drive | 0:20:40 | 0:20:43 | |
your own personal submarine. And getting in it is very, very simple. | 0:20:43 | 0:20:47 | |
Now this hand sign, coming from a diver to you, | 0:20:47 | 0:20:50 | |
this hand sign's a question. | 0:20:50 | 0:20:51 | |
And the question is, "Are you OK?" | 0:20:51 | 0:20:54 | |
You have two choices. | 0:20:54 | 0:20:55 | |
You're either OK. | 0:20:55 | 0:20:58 | |
Or you're not OK. | 0:20:58 | 0:20:59 | |
While you're going down in the scooter, | 0:20:59 | 0:21:01 | |
each of us, | 0:21:01 | 0:21:03 | |
we have to equalise our ear and our sinus airspaces, during descent. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:08 | |
Pinch your nose shut and then try to blow gently | 0:21:08 | 0:21:10 | |
against pinched nostrils. Or blow your nose. | 0:21:10 | 0:21:13 | |
But the journey to the dive site is much rougher than expected. | 0:21:13 | 0:21:17 | |
And, as Joe feared, he's feeling seasick. | 0:21:17 | 0:21:21 | |
Joe's not feeling very well. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:25 | |
He's just feeling sick. | 0:21:25 | 0:21:27 | |
I don't think he'll do it. | 0:21:27 | 0:21:29 | |
I feel really, really ill. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:32 | |
And I'm... I'm quite disappointed that I can't do it. | 0:21:32 | 0:21:37 | |
With Joe bowing out, | 0:21:37 | 0:21:38 | |
it leaves Mum, Dad and Jack | 0:21:38 | 0:21:41 | |
to take the plunge. | 0:21:41 | 0:21:42 | |
Safely in the submarines, the Griffins begin their adventure. | 0:21:46 | 0:21:50 | |
When you're down there, you see all fish, | 0:21:50 | 0:21:52 | |
rocks, shipwrecks and everything. It's really nice. | 0:21:52 | 0:21:55 | |
I did feel a little bit scared when I first went in, | 0:21:55 | 0:21:58 | |
because the bubble took my breath away a little bit. | 0:21:58 | 0:22:00 | |
But that soon settled down and then I felt totally at ease. | 0:22:00 | 0:22:04 | |
It's like being in a goldfish bowl. | 0:22:04 | 0:22:06 | |
Everything went quiet. It was really relaxing and serene. | 0:22:06 | 0:22:11 | |
It was quite emotional really, especially when we held hands | 0:22:27 | 0:22:30 | |
and I could feel my family around me. | 0:22:30 | 0:22:32 | |
After 20 minutes underwater, it's time to come back to the surface. | 0:22:38 | 0:22:42 | |
That was just unbelievable. | 0:22:42 | 0:22:44 | |
-I want to do that again. -Unreal. | 0:22:44 | 0:22:47 | |
It was really good, but don't you ever accuse me, | 0:22:47 | 0:22:51 | |
boys, of not doing anything again. | 0:22:51 | 0:22:53 | |
Mum and Dad may well be joining in all the activities, | 0:22:53 | 0:22:56 | |
but the rules aren't going very well at all. | 0:22:56 | 0:22:58 | |
At the next island of St Martin, there are loads of shops | 0:22:58 | 0:23:02 | |
and Mum is struggling to resist. | 0:23:02 | 0:23:04 | |
She's just sneaked off into a shop again | 0:23:04 | 0:23:06 | |
when you were looking the other way, and off she went. | 0:23:06 | 0:23:09 | |
They better go and find out. | 0:23:09 | 0:23:12 | |
..37, 38... | 0:23:12 | 0:23:14 | |
1, 2... | 0:23:14 | 0:23:16 | |
She's been getting away with it all week, basically. | 0:23:16 | 0:23:19 | |
But I'm not moaning, of course. That's not a moan. | 0:23:19 | 0:23:22 | |
..58, 59, one minute. | 0:23:22 | 0:23:25 | |
So back on board, Joe and Jack | 0:23:25 | 0:23:27 | |
decide to confront the rule-breaking head-on. | 0:23:27 | 0:23:29 | |
Mum, sit down. The rules haven't been going very well. | 0:23:29 | 0:23:33 | |
No, they haven't, have they, Mum? Rule number 3 | 0:23:33 | 0:23:37 | |
says the boys can be as messy as they want, | 0:23:37 | 0:23:40 | |
but Mum just couldn't resist. | 0:23:40 | 0:23:43 | |
You have took our clothes to the laundry | 0:23:43 | 0:23:46 | |
and folded them, put them away. | 0:23:46 | 0:23:49 | |
And we've hardly got any clothes now. | 0:23:49 | 0:23:51 | |
It's not funny. | 0:23:51 | 0:23:53 | |
I had to send your clothes to the laundry, | 0:23:53 | 0:23:55 | |
because the smell was like seeping in to our cabin. | 0:23:55 | 0:23:58 | |
We couldn't smell anything. | 0:23:58 | 0:23:59 | |
It was seeping. | 0:23:59 | 0:24:01 | |
The punishment we have in store, is they'll have boxing training. | 0:24:01 | 0:24:05 | |
-That's it . -Come on, Dad. | 0:24:07 | 0:24:09 | |
-Come on, this is your punishment. -Nice and high for me, reach up. | 0:24:09 | 0:24:13 | |
Now, I want this to be a clean fight. | 0:24:13 | 0:24:15 | |
Remember why you're here. | 0:24:15 | 0:24:17 | |
You've been arguing, disobeying the rules, | 0:24:17 | 0:24:19 | |
and me and Joe aren't going to stand for it any more. | 0:24:19 | 0:24:22 | |
Now touch gloves. | 0:24:22 | 0:24:24 | |
Let's fight! | 0:24:24 | 0:24:26 | |
CHEERING | 0:24:31 | 0:24:32 | |
As the break comes to a close, Joe and Jack take everyone | 0:24:37 | 0:24:40 | |
to an ice show and they even get Mum up the climbing wall. | 0:24:40 | 0:24:44 | |
-Go on, Mum. -She's going to get to the top | 0:24:44 | 0:24:46 | |
and that means I've got to get to the top. | 0:24:46 | 0:24:49 | |
Well done, Mum. | 0:24:49 | 0:24:50 | |
CHEERING | 0:24:50 | 0:24:53 | |
Can I come down now? | 0:24:53 | 0:24:55 | |
But before long, it's time for Joe and Jack to try to win | 0:24:55 | 0:24:57 | |
the final treat, to become captains of the world's largest cruise ship | 0:24:57 | 0:25:02 | |
and sound the ship's horn. | 0:25:02 | 0:25:05 | |
Hi there, guys, | 0:25:08 | 0:25:10 | |
time to play for the treat. | 0:25:10 | 0:25:13 | |
I'm about to ask you three questions. Get two right | 0:25:13 | 0:25:16 | |
and you win a treat. However, if you don't, your parents win the treat. | 0:25:16 | 0:25:21 | |
OK guys, here we go. Question number 1. | 0:25:21 | 0:25:23 | |
What did your mum say was the best thing about the break? | 0:25:23 | 0:25:28 | |
Did she say... | 0:25:28 | 0:25:29 | |
I think it would be B. | 0:25:37 | 0:25:38 | |
She was more excited to see the ship. | 0:25:38 | 0:25:40 | |
-Are you sure? -Yeah. -OK, we'll go for B, yeah? | 0:25:40 | 0:25:42 | |
You're saying B, having the ship revealed. Here's what she said. | 0:25:42 | 0:25:47 | |
The best thing about this break | 0:25:47 | 0:25:49 | |
has to be when the ship was revealed to us. | 0:25:49 | 0:25:53 | |
-Yes! -Yes! -Well done, guys. | 0:25:53 | 0:25:56 | |
Get this next question right and you win the treat. | 0:25:56 | 0:25:59 | |
Here we go. Question two. | 0:25:59 | 0:26:01 | |
What did your dad say was the scariest moment of the break? | 0:26:01 | 0:26:06 | |
Did he say... | 0:26:06 | 0:26:08 | |
I think it would be B... | 0:26:16 | 0:26:18 | |
Erm... | 0:26:18 | 0:26:20 | |
-..being at the top of the climbing wall. -Yeah, B. | 0:26:20 | 0:26:23 | |
-OK. -Here's what he said. | 0:26:23 | 0:26:25 | |
The scariest moment was standing on the surfboard. | 0:26:25 | 0:26:29 | |
Dad... | 0:26:29 | 0:26:30 | |
Yey! | 0:26:30 | 0:26:32 | |
Guys, if you get this next question wrong, your parents win the treat. | 0:26:32 | 0:26:36 | |
However, get it right and the treat will still be yours. | 0:26:36 | 0:26:41 | |
Question 3, what one word did your mum use to describe the packing? | 0:26:41 | 0:26:46 | |
Did she say... | 0:26:46 | 0:26:48 | |
Terrible, disgraceful, terrible, | 0:26:52 | 0:26:55 | |
disgraceful...? Which one? | 0:26:55 | 0:26:57 | |
She said both of them so often. | 0:26:57 | 0:26:59 | |
I need an answer. | 0:26:59 | 0:27:01 | |
-We'll go for B. -If you want to. | 0:27:01 | 0:27:04 | |
-You're going with B, terrible? -OK. | 0:27:04 | 0:27:07 | |
Here's what she said. | 0:27:07 | 0:27:09 | |
If I had to describe the packing in one word, it would be disgraceful. | 0:27:09 | 0:27:14 | |
Oh, no! | 0:27:14 | 0:27:16 | |
Joe and Jack have lost the treat. It's the end of the Griffins' break. | 0:27:16 | 0:27:21 | |
Joe and Jack managed to get Mum and Dad involved and all the activities, | 0:27:21 | 0:27:25 | |
even if the rules didn't always go to plan. But they lost | 0:27:25 | 0:27:29 | |
the final treat, meaning Mum and Dad get to play at being captain | 0:27:29 | 0:27:32 | |
and sound the ship's horn. | 0:27:32 | 0:27:34 | |
HORN BLARES | 0:27:34 | 0:27:37 | |
We had a fabulous holiday. It's been superb. | 0:27:38 | 0:27:42 | |
Even though we didn't win the treat, it's been a really good holiday. | 0:27:42 | 0:27:46 | |
And I really enjoyed it, so that was good. | 0:27:46 | 0:27:48 | |
Overall, it's been great for us and the kids. | 0:27:48 | 0:27:51 | |
