0:00:22 > 0:00:23Welcome aboard Gimme A Break
0:00:27 > 0:00:32Parent power is not permitted
0:00:38 > 0:00:42and, most importantly, they are
0:00:43 > 0:00:46So let's find out which family
0:00:48 > 0:00:50Sport crazy Conor who is 11.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20the brochures available. Yeah.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23And we look at what all the family are going to be interested in.
0:01:23 > 0:01:27And then it comes down to who's
0:01:27 > 0:01:30To me, it's just a load of rocks
0:01:32 > 0:01:36Dad's taught us loads of facts
0:01:40 > 0:01:43One Roman Emperor managed to be able to eat 20 kilos of meat a day.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48The Romans also invented sewerage systems for toilets. Fascinating!
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Mum always talks to people.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58on the plane, round the pool.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00She just can't walk past 'em
0:02:00 > 0:02:03We just have to stand around
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Neither of us are keen about putting our heads under water.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14I don't like getting my hair wet,
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Dad's excuse of not putting
0:02:17 > 0:02:19he gets this urge to breathe.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23I just end up snorting lungfuls
0:02:25 > 0:02:27I am happier standing around
0:02:31 > 0:02:34We can show them that they can
0:02:37 > 0:02:41Mum, Dad, I've heard all about your endless tours of Roman ruins.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Conor and Evie ruled this empire.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47Do you agree? Hm, yeah, go on then.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Gimme A Break parent promise.
0:02:57 > 0:03:01You've got it, are you happy? That was brilliant. I'm in command.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05You two stay out here and be quiet.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16Is that what you're saying?
0:03:16 > 0:03:19being in control? Definitely.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21my whole life. Let's plan it.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29or out of water? Everything.
0:03:29 > 0:03:41How will mum and dad feel about these things? I wouldn't know.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46I have come up with three amazing
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Let's start with break number one.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Well first, we went to this picnic
0:04:04 > 0:04:05I took a massive bite of the scone.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07There was loads of
0:04:07 > 0:04:10I thought it was butter but it tasted really plain.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13Butter? Really? It must be somewhere in Yorkshire.
0:04:15 > 0:04:20After this picnic thing, we found, like, a hobby horse.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37I think it will be riding horses or taking photos of sharks.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46Let's see if they do any better at break number two.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50We went to this pond and they had loads of floats in it with objects.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56Open it, I want to see what it is. It looks a bit like chocolate.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10The Kendal Mint cake, I think that was just like about the seaside,
0:05:17 > 0:05:20If the paddle means we might go sailing, I'd really love to do it.
0:05:20 > 0:05:25I've always wanted to sail a boat.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28It was all water-based, so I think it might be a watersports holiday.
0:05:30 > 0:05:35What does it say? In the distance
0:05:49 > 0:05:59I can't believe the sheep even got in a golf buggy!
0:05:59 > 0:06:02When the sheep finally got tired, we found some clues on him.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05A fish? Why's the arrow here?
0:06:05 > 0:06:09Big sheep. Spear fishing on a farm. I haven't heard of that before.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12Maybe it's having a look at fish.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15And doing archery. A stereo?
0:06:20 > 0:06:24It looked like he was conducting
0:06:24 > 0:06:26I don't know what that music
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Shall we do this thing? Yeah!
0:06:38 > 0:06:40what do you think it might be?
0:06:44 > 0:06:48Because of the tea and the scones.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52what did you think it was? Butter?
0:06:52 > 0:06:56No, you see it was actually Devon clotted cream. Devon?
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Cos if you pick this break,
0:07:02 > 0:07:04a camping caper on Dartmoor.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09You won't be ambling around
0:07:13 > 0:07:15and driving a horse and cart,
0:07:15 > 0:07:18you'll also have the chance
0:07:21 > 0:07:24Real? Yeah, real. Live? Live.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27What about Mum and Dad, they don't like putting their head underwater.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30It'll be funny to see them fall off.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34break number two into the mix.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36What do you think it might be?
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Where is Kendal? I don't know.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Kendal is a place. BOTH: Yay!
0:07:46 > 0:07:50Get in! It's in the Lake District.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52If you pick break number two,
0:07:52 > 0:07:55you'll head out on an adrenalin fuelled holiday to the Lakes.
0:07:55 > 0:08:04Shall we have a look? BOTH: Yeah.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39Sheep, Wales! People have been yelling at the telly going,
0:08:39 > 0:08:42It is a Welsh outdoor activity
0:08:47 > 0:08:51Together with trying archery, you'll also be running up hills
0:08:57 > 0:08:59What about the sheep? Yeah!
0:08:59 > 0:09:04You've seen my three options. Do you think you can make a decision?
0:09:09 > 0:09:12How can you be sure you're both
0:09:12 > 0:09:14We're sure. Yeah, we're sure.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31It looked awesome. Well good.
0:09:31 > 0:09:36You are heading to the Lakes, consider it booked. BOTH: Yes!
0:09:39 > 0:09:43Don't forget, when you're there I will pop back up on my laptop
0:09:43 > 0:09:45and give you the chance to win
0:09:45 > 0:09:50If you answer my questions right, it's all yours to enjoy, brilliant.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58Been great meeting you. BOTH: Yay!
0:10:03 > 0:10:06Will mum and dad throw themselves
0:10:09 > 0:10:11And, who will win the final treat?
0:10:18 > 0:10:21Conor and Evie are busy packing
0:10:21 > 0:10:23There is a line. Your half, my half.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Are you packing neatly? Yeah.
0:10:26 > 0:10:31We've got to. Conor's quite tidy, he'll know what he wants in there
0:10:58 > 0:11:01The next day, it's finally time to reveal the break to Mum and Dad.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18You are going to the Lake District for an adrenalin adventure.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23Stunned. I am absolutely stunned.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26I think Mum's a bit apprehensive, usually she plans the holiday.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39The Bishop family are off, and mum has a three-hour journey ahead
0:11:39 > 0:11:42to get to grips with the kids
0:11:45 > 0:11:50until they finally arrive at their accommodation in Mosser.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54The house where we're staying
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Not what I'd imagined at all.
0:12:01 > 0:12:02I love it. It's so high up.
0:12:02 > 0:12:07It's time to see what Evie and Conor have packed for their parents.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12Yay! Guess who packed for who.
0:12:13 > 0:12:14It was a bit of a jack-in-the-box.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30And the socks! Does that mean
0:12:42 > 0:12:45Favourite shorts, very good,
0:12:45 > 0:12:51They were impressed by what we packed for them. Absolutely crushed.
0:12:53 > 0:12:59Thought you'd look good in it.
0:12:59 > 0:13:07and the little rabbit ears.
0:13:07 > 0:13:20when he finds out what rules
0:13:27 > 0:13:31Right, dad, the kids are bored rotten of all things Roman,
0:13:35 > 0:13:40there will be no Roman ruins tours,
0:13:40 > 0:13:42and no mention of anything Roman.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49Don't think you've got off lightly,
0:13:49 > 0:13:52of you chatting to everyone,
0:14:04 > 0:14:08Evie and Conor have had enough of you avoiding water sports.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11They're tired of your excuses
0:14:27 > 0:14:32Breaking the rules will mean consequences, I must warn you.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37I'll be popping up later to tell you all about the final treat.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42they're gonna break the rules,
0:14:42 > 0:14:47because mum can't stop talking and Dad's always going on about Romans.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51Not so sure about getting my head in the water, that's gonna be trickier.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56So that will be interesting.
0:14:59 > 0:15:04It's a new day, and the family are
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Mum and Dad might be facing
0:15:57 > 0:15:59We've come down with the water
0:15:59 > 0:16:04jumped and skidded and fallen. Yes, scrambled. All the way down.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16Evie just tried everything, she was crazy in that water.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27So far, everyone's completed
0:16:27 > 0:16:31Well, there's one final tricky jump.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39To see Conor jump off that ledge,
0:16:50 > 0:16:53You can do it! Come on. Sorry.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58I couldn't bring myself to do it.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13It was almost impossible for them.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15I'm really proud that mum and dad
0:17:15 > 0:17:19I'm proud of everyone today. Yay!
0:17:21 > 0:17:25The family are about to explore
0:17:28 > 0:17:32It was named Fiddlers after two men who worked here in the 1800s.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38Half of what you see here today will have been taken out by candle light
0:18:21 > 0:18:24We have never ever, any of us, been in a helicopter before,
0:18:24 > 0:18:27so I'm really looking forward to it.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34I don't know much about these things
0:18:36 > 0:18:38when a helicopter's going downwards.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46Lifting off, oh, what a sensation.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56We were going really fast, but it seemed like we weren't moving.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09that the mine went through.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12loads of mountains, loads of roads.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21Dad's fear kind of stopped him from jumping into the gorge,
0:19:21 > 0:19:24but he's definitely improved, cos he went up in the helicopter.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29I've been forced to confront it
0:19:29 > 0:19:31and I think I've come through
0:19:31 > 0:19:35It's the first time any of us
0:19:35 > 0:19:38and I really want to do it again,
0:19:41 > 0:19:46It's a new day, and a new experience
0:19:48 > 0:19:53of a wildlife park in Bassenthwaite.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55We've got Muffin. Hi, Muffin.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59These are two South American tapirs.
0:20:15 > 0:20:38Watch how he uses his snuffly snout.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40If you would like to join me.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58then they suddenly decided to roll.
0:20:58 > 0:21:03It's like he's drifting off.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11Wild animals don't do that!
0:21:13 > 0:21:16stuffed with tasty bananas,
0:21:16 > 0:21:20the Bishops are about to get friendly with a troupe of lemurs.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25Whoa, get off the rope, man!
0:21:36 > 0:21:38who is just over 10 weeks old now.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44quite playful and quite friendly.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47Their cheeky ways reminded us
0:21:47 > 0:21:51in the gift shop with the lemurs on?
0:21:51 > 0:21:53The fur was all soft and warm.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10his rule break in the mine,
0:22:18 > 0:22:20Up there? All the way down.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28I think I owe it to the kids
0:22:28 > 0:22:30All right, kids. Come on, Dad!
0:22:48 > 0:22:53My heart was going a bit when I was harnessed up ready to step off.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55But I must admit I enjoyed it.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08favourite type of activity.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15Conor and Evie have some gifts
0:23:15 > 0:23:18There you go. That's for you.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22We know when you get underwater you can't breathe. That might help.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25You know how you don't like
0:23:25 > 0:23:29How long have you wanted one? I have wanted one of these for ages.
0:23:29 > 0:23:33Mum and Dad looked really silly
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Now let's go kayaking then.
0:23:40 > 0:23:46Now they've mastered the paddling, time to have some competitive fun.
0:23:50 > 0:23:54Me and Conor stood up and sang Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes
0:23:56 > 0:23:59# ..And ears and mouth and nose
0:23:59 > 0:24:03# Head, shoulders, knees and toes
0:24:04 > 0:24:07and they were really rubbish.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11# Shoulders, knees and toes
0:24:12 > 0:24:15I think me and Evie were better
0:24:28 > 0:24:31We played a really fun game,
0:24:38 > 0:24:41and I think that was definitely
0:24:50 > 0:24:54Competing against mum and dad, we don't normally do that as a family.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04getting caught in all the bushes.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18I brought us closer together
0:25:18 > 0:25:40We win! There's another surprise.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48You need to answer at least two out of three questions correctly
0:25:50 > 0:25:54However, if you muck them up,
0:25:58 > 0:26:00OK. Are you ready? BOTH: Yeah.
0:26:03 > 0:26:07Did Dad prefer A - ghyll scrambling,
0:26:19 > 0:26:22Given the choice between the zip wire and the ghyll scrambling,
0:26:22 > 0:26:25I think I preferred the zip wire.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28Absolutely right. Well done.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31We got it right. You're gonna lose.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36You have to get the next one right if you're going to win the treat.
0:26:36 > 0:26:41her swimming hat in one word.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44Did she say A - "Brilliant!"
0:26:46 > 0:26:50I think A, because 'glorious' she doesn't normally say that much.
0:26:50 > 0:26:54Glorious is like angels and stuff.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58Well, here's what your Mum said.
0:26:58 > 0:27:03If I had to describe my swimming hat in one word, it would be...
0:27:29 > 0:27:33We went in an amphibious vehicle up hills and through lakes.
0:27:41 > 0:27:45from the puddles. It was so cool.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58lovely memories as a family
0:27:58 > 0:28:00and the activities we've done.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02It's been brilliant. Come on, Dad!
0:28:02 > 0:28:05I think it brought us closer
