0:00:22 > 0:00:27Gimme A Break is on a mission to rescue you from dull holidays.
0:00:27 > 0:00:31So, kids, it's your turn to take control of the family break.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41in charge of the holiday rules.
0:00:42 > 0:00:51Today, the lucky family getting the chance to jet away are...
0:00:51 > 0:00:55Biker Dad. And 12-year-old triplets
0:00:55 > 0:00:59Hannah, Louise and Matthew.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03So, why do Hannah, Louise and Matthew need to be given a break?
0:01:17 > 0:01:23Nettles can be a bit of a problem!
0:01:23 > 0:01:32looking for different things.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36Every time we go on a journey,
0:01:36 > 0:01:41By the time we actually, you know,
0:01:45 > 0:01:48At lunch we have sandwiches
0:01:50 > 0:01:53we go out, but it's normally, like,
0:01:53 > 0:01:56to the place that they want to go to.
0:01:56 > 0:02:01We tend to pick what we like.
0:02:02 > 0:02:07Wow! You certainly have interesting holidays, to say the least.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Are you ready to be given a break?
0:02:10 > 0:02:14Yes! Are you ready to let the
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Dad, to make sure it does happen.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21It's time for the parent promise -
0:02:21 > 0:02:23We, the parents of Matthew,
0:02:23 > 0:02:28Louise and Hanna, hereby hand over control of the next family break.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32They're giggling all the way through. Are you happy? Yes!
0:02:32 > 0:02:34It's three against two now!
0:02:39 > 0:02:43Are you gonna be able to agree on a break? No. Yes. Really? No. Yes!
0:02:43 > 0:02:46Oh, we're in trouble. Come on!
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Right, let's get rid of those
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Louise, Matthew and Hannah have a long list of holiday dramas,
0:02:56 > 0:03:00Right, what sort of holidays have you really got your heart set on?
0:03:00 > 0:03:05exciting adventures. Anything else?
0:03:17 > 0:03:21I think I should be the boss cos I'm the oldest. I'm more responsible.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12We used to learn French in year six.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14But we didn't really learn that much.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22What's snails got to do with skis?
0:04:22 > 0:04:25It could be, you go to France
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Look, there's something in the water.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36something to do with surfing.
0:04:43 > 0:04:47You can smash it into the ice.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51A plane that's got Gimme A Break on.
0:04:51 > 0:04:57Then there's some type of trains.
0:04:59 > 0:05:04I'm a bit clueless at the moment!
0:05:05 > 0:05:11from boring family holidays?
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Something to do with huskies?
0:05:13 > 0:05:16There's rescue, so maybe it's some type of animal rescue thing.
0:05:29 > 0:05:33going in water. Well done! Petals!
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Look, it says, Gimme A Break dessert.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40desert because of the sand,
0:05:40 > 0:05:42and like, dessert and desert.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00Yes, but Pirates of the...?
0:06:23 > 0:06:27On break one, you'll spend the days
0:06:30 > 0:06:34staying in a nearby forest.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37There you go, check that out!
0:06:37 > 0:06:40water-skiing or surfing? No!
0:06:40 > 0:06:44What are your thoughts on it? Great. I can't wait. It looks really good.
0:06:48 > 0:06:53you had plane, you had crane.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57Ukraine. Nice one, but wrong!
0:07:01 > 0:07:05On break two, you'll be scaling
0:07:05 > 0:07:08high up in the Sierra Nevada.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11You'll also be learning mountain
0:07:11 > 0:07:13with huge, furry Leonberger dogs.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23That looked really out there. It's gonna be a so hard to choose.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25None of our friends would have
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Something to do with pirates?
0:07:33 > 0:07:38When I think of pirates, I think of Pirates Of The Caribbean. Oh, yeah!
0:07:40 > 0:07:44And on break three, you can experience some of the world's
0:07:46 > 0:07:52of Turks and Caicos, and, making a splash in a brand new water park.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58So, what d'you think of the activities there? Really good.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08so I'll come back when you've
0:08:27 > 0:08:32The second one and the first one.
0:08:41 > 0:08:47So hard. Very hard. I was just really struggling, I took ages to decide.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51of my misery, I'm itching to know.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58Number three! Number three, you're going to the Caribbean? Yeah.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02It's an amazing break, your friends are gonna be green with envy.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04And there is an opportunity to win
0:09:04 > 0:09:08one final treat whilst you're
0:09:08 > 0:09:10You'll have a blast. Yeah, OK.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15The Mullaneys are about to leave their cold caravan holidays behind
0:09:15 > 0:09:18for some Caribbean sunshine.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22But will there be mutiny in the ranks when the triplets take charge?
0:09:30 > 0:09:34Mum and Dad have no idea where
0:09:36 > 0:09:38What shall we take with the dress...?
0:09:38 > 0:09:42that she knew that we would like.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50I'm packing my dad's clothes,
0:09:50 > 0:09:53and the girls are packing our mum's.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00I just hope they haven't just
0:10:03 > 0:10:05"Why fold my mum's clothes?"
0:10:05 > 0:10:09Even with most of Mum and Dad's wardrobe being rammed into the case,
0:10:09 > 0:10:12Mum's not taking any chances. Check
0:10:12 > 0:10:17A little plan so that maybe I will have my favourite tops!
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Go on, just squish it in a bit more!
0:10:23 > 0:10:26The suitcase is bursting at
0:10:26 > 0:10:29as they're about to tell Mum and Dad where they're going.
0:10:29 > 0:10:36Maybe the steel band outside the house will give them a few clues.
0:10:37 > 0:10:50And you're gonna be needing these.
0:10:50 > 0:10:59I'm just even more excited than I was when we made the choice.
0:11:13 > 0:11:18the Turks and Caicos Islands,
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Look at all the palm trees!
0:11:41 > 0:11:44But will Mum and Dad still be
0:11:51 > 0:11:55Two ties in a crumpled bag.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00Did you know, it's actually trendy to have your shirt creased?
0:12:00 > 0:12:04which it is, they've ruined.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08Well, if you like it so much,
0:12:35 > 0:12:37cos I think we did pack the
0:12:45 > 0:12:47But before anyone even dips
0:12:52 > 0:12:57Hope you're enjoying the sunshine.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01there's the matter of a few rules
0:13:01 > 0:13:03the triplets want you to stick to.
0:13:03 > 0:13:07The triplets are fed up with home-made cheese and ham sandwiches,
0:13:07 > 0:13:12they want to dine out from now on.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47No, that wasn't one of the rules.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53Hey, you lot, don't forget, I'll be back at the end of your break
0:13:53 > 0:13:58with the chance to win an extra treat. Have fun. See ya! Bye! Bye!
0:13:58 > 0:14:01I think the food one is the
0:14:01 > 0:14:05I'm not sure if my dad could stick to the rule of not going off.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10I think we're all gonna have a little bit of trouble with that.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13It might actually work against the
0:14:13 > 0:14:18they realise how much they do bicker and argue between themselves.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Now everyone knows the rules,
0:14:27 > 0:14:30And that starts with snorkelling
0:14:30 > 0:14:34the triplets are in charge!
0:14:34 > 0:14:37what more could you ask for?
0:14:37 > 0:14:42The Turks and Caicos islands are
0:14:42 > 0:14:46packed full of exotic marine life.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51Lovely colours. Every time you looked, you saw something different.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Turtle came up to the surface,
0:14:59 > 0:15:02and then it went back down,
0:15:02 > 0:15:04staying right underneath us.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11We've seen turtles and parrotfish.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19We was, like, all together,
0:15:20 > 0:15:23Dinner time, and the triplets choose where everyone eats.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27Can we go to a pizza place?
0:15:27 > 0:15:29It's not easy, with so many options.
0:15:29 > 0:15:36How's about the beach front grill?
0:16:07 > 0:16:09Yeah, I reckon we should go here.
0:16:15 > 0:16:16All of the food on the menu
0:16:19 > 0:16:22So we're just gonna choose the food for mum and dad to eat.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27That's if you can catch it first!
0:16:30 > 0:16:34Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! Nice one, Dad!
0:16:35 > 0:16:38It's quite different, cos normally we have to go to the restaurants
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Next morning, and the Mullaneys
0:16:47 > 0:16:50There's no excuse for Mum and
0:16:50 > 0:16:54Let's go! After making sure Mum and Dad get a good dunking,
0:16:54 > 0:16:57they head to the steepest slide
0:16:57 > 0:17:01Will everyone make it down?
0:17:01 > 0:17:05I try and avoid most theme parks
0:17:07 > 0:17:11Dad's made it, and now it's Mum's turn, and she's nervous.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34that, so it's quite good for her.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36It's all go on the Mullaneys' break,
0:17:41 > 0:17:44They've been faffing around
0:17:44 > 0:17:49they've still been faffing around.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58The main reason Matthew, Hannah and Louise picked this break
0:18:00 > 0:18:04Mum and Dad used to do it, now the triplets are going to learn, too.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08Scuba-diving has always been like
0:18:08 > 0:18:15But I sort of want to make it
0:18:15 > 0:18:17the Mullaneys are kitted out
0:18:17 > 0:18:22Place the regulator into your mouth.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33Hannah runs into difficulty.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44It's like everything else, isn't it?
0:18:44 > 0:18:47the feeling of breathing underwater.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50and decides it's not for her.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57I just don't really like it.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01the others finish their training.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11isn't complete without music.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15So, the family are back together to make some noise, carnival-style.
0:19:15 > 0:19:19takes them through the basics.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Now you know where those notes are,
0:19:39 > 0:19:41They need some timekeeping.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55We've got to learn the steel drums.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02Actually, I'm watching Matthew to see if he can bring me in.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04That's not working, either!
0:20:04 > 0:20:07I think I've taken to it quite well.
0:20:07 > 0:20:11That's a good job, because the
0:20:17 > 0:20:22And your forfeit is to play the steel drums in front of loads of people.
0:21:04 > 0:21:09No, I weren't. Go on, keep going.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33I cheated, and I didn't do the end
0:21:46 > 0:21:50I'm gonna be your eco-tour guide.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53These plants here on the side of us are called the red mangroves.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56nursery grounds, and the little fish
0:21:56 > 0:21:59can get right back in there and basically get a bit of protection,
0:21:59 > 0:22:03and a bit of a head start in life.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16cos you got to see lots of,
0:22:25 > 0:22:28all of us would like to do.
0:22:28 > 0:22:32And there are more family moments to come, as the triplets finally fulfil
0:22:32 > 0:22:37their dream of scuba-diving in the sea with Mum and Dad.
0:22:37 > 0:22:42Welcome to our lovely day of diving.
0:22:42 > 0:22:46but she's showing her support
0:22:46 > 0:22:50Signs and signals... After a safety
0:22:57 > 0:23:07And I think Matthew and Louise will really, really enjoy it.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10but I'm a little bit nervous.
0:23:13 > 0:23:21Closely followed by Matthew.
0:23:21 > 0:23:26See, as soon as you go down, you're gonna pop right back up again.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45The water is around 26 degrees
0:23:45 > 0:23:47species of marine life -
0:23:47 > 0:23:51perfect for the Mullaneys' first
0:23:51 > 0:23:54First, a reef shark appears.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09It's an amazing experience,
0:24:09 > 0:24:12And Hannah is waiting on the boat
0:24:16 > 0:24:17The water's great. Come in!
0:24:19 > 0:24:21Yeah! So, what did you see?
0:24:21 > 0:24:24Sharks, turtles... We saw barracuda.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26That was excellent, excellent.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37They did really well. It's not an easy thing to do. No, it's not.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41I'm gonna be asking Mum and Dad
0:24:46 > 0:24:49and I'd like to do it again.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54It's been paradise for the Mullaneys
0:24:54 > 0:24:59But there's one more very special
0:25:07 > 0:25:09but I've got one last amazing
0:25:09 > 0:25:13a luxury cruise out to lunch
0:25:19 > 0:25:23to win the treat, triplets,
0:25:26 > 0:25:39parents will be enjoying it instead.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58she said it was like stepping into
0:26:01 > 0:26:03I think it is cool and refreshing.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05I reckon cool and refreshing.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08We'll go with cool and refreshing.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13Yes. Let's hear what Mum had to say.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16I think the sea was definitely
0:26:18 > 0:26:21We only need to get one more right.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28What did Dad say about diving?
0:26:30 > 0:26:34Or B - "Would be just as happy
0:26:35 > 0:26:38Couldn't wish for anything better.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41He might have said it was just as
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Because she didn't do the diving.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48We saw turtles and things as well.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50I think we should go with A.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55So, is A your final answer?
0:26:55 > 0:26:58Yes. I don't know. Yes. Yes.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01"Couldn't wish for anything better".
0:27:01 > 0:27:04Well, here's what Dad had to say...
0:27:04 > 0:27:05Couldn't wish for anything better.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22it's not me and Bernard doing it.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24But it's nice for the kids.
0:27:24 > 0:27:28There's no-one else here. You don't normally get an island to yourself.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36The holiday has brought the whole family closer together.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51The best holiday I've ever been on.
