0:00:21 > 0:00:25Extra, extra, read all about it, read all about it.
0:00:25 > 0:00:27Are you bored of your family holidays?
0:00:28 > 0:00:31Are your parents driving you nuts with tedious trips?
0:00:31 > 0:00:35Well, I've got news for you. This is Gimme A Break,
0:00:35 > 0:00:39the show where you take charge of your family holidays.
0:00:39 > 0:00:43On give me a break, it's the kids who decide where to go and what to do.
0:00:43 > 0:00:48Parents don't get a look-in, especially when it comes to the holiday rules.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Breaking the rules can only lead to one thing.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Trouble.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57I'm in Hertfordshire, and today's lucky family
0:00:57 > 0:01:00who are going to get a break are...
0:01:00 > 0:01:01the Perks.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Making up this fantastic four are
0:01:03 > 0:01:06cuddly toy collector ten-year-old Beth,
0:01:06 > 0:01:09budding author 12-year-old Megan,
0:01:09 > 0:01:14speed reader, Mum, and Leeds United football fanatic, Dad.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17So why do Beth and Megan deserve to be given a break?
0:01:17 > 0:01:21I would actually like to go anywhere apart from France.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25Tracey's mum's got a place there, so it's like a home away from home.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28It's like we're actually going back in time and doing the last holiday.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30I think they still like to go.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33OK, we going to France next week. Great(!)
0:01:33 > 0:01:35They just read.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39- Yeah, I take quite a few books. - I love the sea, but Mum hates it.
0:01:39 > 0:01:40It's just full of rocks
0:01:40 > 0:01:43and you don't know what your putting your foot on.
0:01:43 > 0:01:48Dad likes to wander off, so we always end up yelling out for him.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52I don't really see it as wandering off, it's just trying to have fun somewhere else.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54It's not fun.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57I think we kind of know what's best for them on holiday.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59Nag, nag, nag.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03"You can have an apple. It's almost as good as an ice-cream."
0:02:03 > 0:02:06Don't believe anything they tell you.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10Watch out, cos we're in charge.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17Right, Mum and Dad, it seems to me that you need to spend less time on
0:02:17 > 0:02:21- holiday promising adventure and not delivering. Am I right?- Yeah.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23- Are you ready to be given a break? - Yes.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26- How does it feel to hand over total control? - I'm dreading it, I really am.
0:02:26 > 0:02:32It's that time that sends fear into parents' hearts, sends them trembling to their knees.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36It is the Gimme A Break Parent Promise.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38We, the parents of Megan and Beth,
0:02:38 > 0:02:41hereby hand over control of the next family break.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Yeah!
0:02:43 > 0:02:48Brilliant. Well, Mum and Dad, I am the sole witness to your pledge.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51So if you try and take back control, we will be having words.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54- OK.- All right, girls, shall we go and have a chat?- Yeah.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Let's go. Here you go, Mum and Dad. Read through that.
0:02:57 > 0:03:01You tell me what you're looking for in the perfect holiday.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Anywhere but France.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06- You're both sick of France.- Yeah.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08What activities would you like to do on this break?
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Watersports, maybe.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13Yeah. Do you think that Mum and Dad will be up for joining in?
0:03:13 > 0:03:16Dad probably will. I'm not so sure about Mum.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19- Doesn't really get involved? - No, especially not with water.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23So you want something adventurous, something that involves the whole family?
0:03:23 > 0:03:26- Yeah.- I'll get on to it straight away, shall I?- Yeah.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28One more thing, who's in charge?
0:03:28 > 0:03:31- We are.- After three. One, two, three.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34We are!
0:03:34 > 0:03:36I've listened to what Megan and Beth want
0:03:36 > 0:03:38and put together two action-packed breaks,
0:03:38 > 0:03:42but they'll have to try and work out what's involved
0:03:42 > 0:03:45from a series of weird and wonderful clues.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49They get to work straight away with the clues for break number one.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52Why is there a shark in a washing bin?
0:03:52 > 0:03:54It's definitely something to do with the sea.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57I've no idea what the basket is for.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00Well, it might be a type of shark.
0:04:00 > 0:04:01A basket shark.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04Nearly, Beth. It's a basking shark.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08"Take the coast road but make sure you steer
0:04:08 > 0:04:12- "carefully to find an amazing treat." - What does that mean?
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Coast, steering. Coast, steering.
0:04:15 > 0:04:20It's probably going around the coast in one of the go-karts.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23The girls are going round in circles.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27"Miaow - are you man enough to help me?"
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Oh, it's a cat! Oh!
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Cat's lost its tail.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37A tailless cat. Now, where do they come from?
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Man.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Something like the Isle of Man.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Purr-fect, well done.
0:04:43 > 0:04:47I think break one will be England and we'll go
0:04:47 > 0:04:51go-karting and we'll be looking after animals.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53It's time for break number two.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57"Feather plus clue equals solve the sums to work out
0:04:57 > 0:05:00"which feathered friend you'll be meeting on this Northern break."
0:05:00 > 0:05:04- There's no need to get in a flap, take your time.- Snowy owl?
0:05:04 > 0:05:07You've got it in one.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09There was straw, so it might mean barn owl.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12There was snow, so it could mean a snowy owl.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18R-O-Y-G-B-I-V.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22You'll have to work together for this colourful task.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24It could result in a tasty treat.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Stand one in front of the other.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29The person behind will act as the arms
0:05:29 > 0:05:32and the person in front will act as the eyes. Let's go.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36We're going to be here for a while.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Loosen it up. Stop doing that one.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Got one.
0:05:42 > 0:05:47R-O-Y-G-B-I-V.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51Red, orange, yellow. It's the colours of the rainbow.
0:05:51 > 0:05:52Fishing for rainbow trout.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Go wild with the camera.
0:05:54 > 0:06:01You'll need patience and skill to get the best results.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Go wild with the camera.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12- Snap to it, girls.- Wild life, yeah.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16It's time to see if Megan and Beth have guessed the breaks on offer.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19What do you think the clues for break one could be?
0:06:19 > 0:06:20Go-karting around England.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23That would be fun.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25What about clue number three?
0:06:25 > 0:06:29It was a cat stuck up the tree and it was like are you man enough to rescue me?
0:06:29 > 0:06:32That was a cat with no tail, and they're called Manx cats.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Where do you think break one is?
0:06:34 > 0:06:38We think break one is in the Isle of Man.
0:06:38 > 0:06:39- Shall we have a look?- Yes.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Let's press that button.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Break number one is an island adventure holiday
0:06:44 > 0:06:47in the Isle of Man, the home of the Manx cat.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51First up is coasteering where you'll be jumping off
0:06:51 > 0:06:56rocks and plunging into pools before taking to the sea in kayaks.
0:06:56 > 0:07:01You'll try to spot the second largest living shark, the basking shark.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04- What do you think? - It looks really cool.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07What do you think break number two could be?
0:07:07 > 0:07:12- It had lots of feathers in the clue, so I think it could be something to do with birds.- OK.
0:07:12 > 0:07:17There were photos and I thought it was wild life photos.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Nearly spot on.
0:07:19 > 0:07:24Break number two is an amazing wildlife holiday in Northumberland.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27You're off to Northumberland where you get the chance
0:07:27 > 0:07:30to get up close to birds of prey and try falconry.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32You'll be fishing for rainbow trout
0:07:32 > 0:07:35and get a chance to go horse-riding on Banburgh beach.
0:07:35 > 0:07:40Then you'll meet a professional photographer to put your wildlife photography skills to the test.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44Do you remember that clue with the coloured fish?
0:07:44 > 0:07:48All the colours of the rainbow? Rainbow trout fishing?
0:07:48 > 0:07:50It makes sense now, doesn't it?
0:07:50 > 0:07:52- Yes.- You've got a tough decision.
0:07:52 > 0:07:57You've got to pick between. Would you like some time to think about it?
0:07:57 > 0:08:00- Yes.- No falling out, OK.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04I like break number two because it has the horse riding.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08- I like break number one. - Just time for 40 winks.
0:08:08 > 0:08:09I'd like the coasteering.
0:08:09 > 0:08:14But I just really like the horse riding idea on a beach.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16We've done horse-riding before on holiday.
0:08:18 > 0:08:19Are you sure?
0:08:19 > 0:08:21- Yes.- So am I.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Joe!
0:08:24 > 0:08:27I must have fallen asleep a little bit.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30Have you made your minds up?
0:08:30 > 0:08:32- Yes.- Shall we go and book it?- Yes.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Let's go.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37Are you going to go with break number one or break number two?
0:08:37 > 0:08:40We're going to go with break number one.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Break number one, the Isle of Man?
0:08:42 > 0:08:44- What are you looking forward to the most?- Coasteering.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Are you sure? That you want to pick break number one?
0:08:47 > 0:08:50- Yes, we're sure.- Here we go.
0:08:50 > 0:08:56I'll be catching up with you in the Isle of Man where you'll have the chance to win that final treat.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59If you don't win it, your mum and dad are going to get it.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01We don't want that to happen, do we?
0:09:01 > 0:09:04That would be like the end of the world.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Have a fantastic trip.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09So, Megan and Beth have agreed on break number one,
0:09:09 > 0:09:12a wet and wild adventure holiday in the Isle of Man.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14But will it be the kids or the parents
0:09:14 > 0:09:18who come out on top when it comes to winning the final treat?
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Come on, Megan, let's get to work.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28It's the day before the break and it's time for a spot of packing.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31But mum and dad won't get a say what goes in the suitcase.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33That's down to Megan and Beth.
0:09:33 > 0:09:34Oh!
0:09:34 > 0:09:38We've given them a few hints. We've put some post-its around with some ideas for them.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41I think we know where Mum's T-shirts are.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43They've probably put them in the bin.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Put that in.
0:09:45 > 0:09:46Meg I trust.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48That's huge.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51- Kind of. Beth I don't. - What on earth are these?
0:09:51 > 0:09:55- I'm gonna pay for that, aren't I. - A very trendy hat.
0:09:55 > 0:10:00I can see me the whole time away having no socks and just wearing a pair of old trainers.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04Megan has discovered coat-hangers are a useful tool for packing dad's pants.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Yuck.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10We did say that whatever they packed for us we're going to be wearing those while we're on the break.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Superman.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16- Hopefully they'll have that in the back of their minds. - Crowded House.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18When did Mum go to that concert?
0:10:18 > 0:10:22They've packed a lot in, but will they be able to close the case?
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Done.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31The day has arrived and its nearly time for them to set off on their
0:10:31 > 0:10:35break and Mum and Dad still haven't a clue where they might be going.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38Ha-hmm.
0:10:38 > 0:10:43- Hello. - We're going on the break today and do you have any ideas where it is?
0:10:43 > 0:10:47- We've been racking our brains, honestly.- Guess.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49We're going to France again, aren't we?
0:10:49 > 0:10:51No way.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57Close your eyes and count to three.
0:10:57 > 0:11:02One, too, three.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Where?
0:11:07 > 0:11:09The Isle of Man?
0:11:09 > 0:11:12Oh, Isle Of Man!
0:11:12 > 0:11:14We're going to the Isle of Man.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17Island adventure, what does that mean?
0:11:18 > 0:11:22You'll have to wait and see, Mum, but don't keep that taxi waiting.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24You'll miss the train.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31On the train to Liverpool they put the fam-cam into action.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36What do you think we're going to be doing?
0:11:36 > 0:11:39They're famous for their Manx cats without the tails.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43I'd like to see one walking down the street or something, wouldn't you?
0:11:44 > 0:11:47Some kind of wildebeest.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52From Liverpool it's a ferry ride to the island.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56It's a three-hour crossing to the Isle of Man famous for its beautiful
0:11:56 > 0:12:00scenery and the perfect place for all sorts of adventurous activities.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04- It's great.- It's so pretty.
0:12:04 > 0:12:09After a long journey, they've finally arrived at the self-catering accommodation.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12While the girls want to chill out in their new surroundings,
0:12:12 > 0:12:16Mum and Dad are desperate to see what's in the suitcase.
0:12:16 > 0:12:17Shorts.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Yes, Mum's favourites.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22I think I've come out better than Warren has.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24My old jeans.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28With a big hole that I use for my DIY.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31My wedding tie, swimming goggles, a pair of
0:12:31 > 0:12:34football shin pads which I probably wouldn't have brought along with me.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37My pyjamas. Thank you.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40I don't think they've missed anything out.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44Mind you, I don't know what we're doing so maybe they have.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48The crowded House T-shirt was originally Warren's.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52- It was in your drawer.- I know, it's for sentimental reasons.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54I borrowed it when I was pregnant because it was really comfy.
0:12:54 > 0:12:58But also I gave birth to you in this.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02I thought it was really cool their reaction. It was funny.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13Things are about to take a turn for the worse for Mum and Dad.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16It's time for the holiday rules.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19Mum and Dad, are you ready to hear the rules?
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Now you see me, now you don't.
0:13:25 > 0:13:30Dad, rule number one is for you. No wandering off for the entire break.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33- That's fine.- Really?
0:13:33 > 0:13:38Nag, nag, nag. Mum, rule number two is for you.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41There will be no nagging or tidying away for the whole break.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45That will be hard to keep, won't it?
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Rule number three...
0:13:49 > 0:13:53Sorry, this is such a good book.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56Right, Mum and Dad, the girls are tired of your
0:13:56 > 0:14:04bookworm tendencies so there will be no reading of books, newspapers or magazines for the entire break.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08You read so much that me and Beth are bored of it.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Do you want to know the consequences?
0:14:10 > 0:14:15Mum, the girls will be allowed to tickle you for one minute with your hands in the air.
0:14:15 > 0:14:20I promise I won't nag, I won't tidy. OK, deal.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Dad, your punishment
0:14:22 > 0:14:28is to wear a Manchester United shirt and scarf in public. Ouch.
0:14:28 > 0:14:37Stop, I'm going. No, I'm going home. Take it away from me.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39No, I'm not touching it.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43Please, don't. It's horrible. Arrgh!
0:14:43 > 0:14:47Dad, you better stick to those rules otherwise you'll be wearing that shirt.
0:14:47 > 0:14:54Girls, I'll be back later on to tell you how you'll get a chance to win the final treat.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Remember, you're in charge.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59Just to remind you.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01You've been warned.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04No nagging, no telling them to tidy up.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08It's going to be a difficult one. It just rolls off the tongue naturally.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10Every day, all day.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13If they make wear it, I don't know what I'm going to do.
0:15:13 > 0:15:20It's the first full day of the break and Megan and Beth have to decide how best to travel in style.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24Will they be really impressed by the Traditional Isle of Man horse-drawn tram?
0:15:24 > 0:15:29Or will they be driven to distraction by the Grey Lady, an Edwardian, vintage car?
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Girls, the choice is yours.
0:15:32 > 0:15:33I like the car.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Dad, I said girls, the choice is yours.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38I like the car.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41We're going to go for the car.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43OK.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53As for the Grey Lady makes for the coast road, Mum and Dad have no idea
0:15:53 > 0:15:57that the girls have a surprise in store for them on the beach.
0:16:00 > 0:16:05When we usually go to the beach, Mum, you're always reading and Dad, you're always sunbathing.
0:16:05 > 0:16:11So, we're going to camp on the beach and you have to do everything we say.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14That includes paddling in the sea.
0:16:14 > 0:16:21Mum and Dad thought they were safe in their warm, cosy, self-catering cottage with hot water on tap.
0:16:21 > 0:16:28But will they rise to the challenge of sleeping in the great outdoors with no toilet or shower available?
0:16:28 > 0:16:33We'll be them there for them all the way whatever they have in store.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35I'm saying that now, I might regret that.
0:16:35 > 0:16:36It's comfortable.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40I've got a big rock in the base of my back.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44Getting Mum in the freezing cold sea is first on the girl's agenda.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48But she's determined to get it over with and leads the way.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53My toes, I can't feel them.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55They're going blue.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58What's that?
0:16:58 > 0:17:00Mum going in the sea was really funny.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02It was good to get her in it for once.
0:17:02 > 0:17:07Beth has spotted a nearby waterfall and decides Dad should take a shower.
0:17:07 > 0:17:12I want you to put on your trunks and jump into the waterfall.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15He can't wait to get in.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17That's it, get in, Dad.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19No, Dad, get in.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27The cold water seems to have convinced Dad he's got superpowers.
0:17:27 > 0:17:32Surely he's not planning to swim the Irish Sea?
0:17:32 > 0:17:34I think I had a lapse of madness.
0:17:34 > 0:17:39I'm trying to live up to my super hero status as a dad.
0:17:39 > 0:17:44After dad's heroics in the freezing waterfall, it's time for something to eat.
0:17:44 > 0:17:48An islander has come to prepare a special camp fire meal for the family.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51This is your banquet menu for tonight.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54The choice is all yours.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58Manx kippers served with boiled potatoes, brown bread and butter,
0:17:58 > 0:18:02a traditional meal from the Isle Of Man made with smoked kippers.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05Hot dogs, jacket potatoes, or smoked fish?
0:18:05 > 0:18:08What will the girls choose for Mum and Dad?
0:18:08 > 0:18:10Mum and Dad are having the Manx kippers.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12I've never had kippers before.
0:18:12 > 0:18:17It's a fiddly business eating kippers and Keirron has got a bone to pick with Dad.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Where you can see that bone that runs top-to-bottom,
0:18:20 > 0:18:24just pick your knife up underneath it.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27- Do you want some?- No way.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31I like it so much I think we're going to have kippers at home a lot.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33They'll stink the house out.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35Oh, man!
0:18:35 > 0:18:40On to dessert. Will the girls make Mum pay for making them be healthy on holiday?
0:18:42 > 0:18:48Bonnag a traditional Isle Of Man cake made with milk and raisins.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51Fresh apples. Mum should have the fresh apples.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53I did go in the sea as well.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55- I was the first one in.- Bonnag!
0:18:55 > 0:18:58Mum has escaped the apples, but not the Bonnag.
0:18:58 > 0:19:04While the girls decide to reward Dad's waterfall shower with a slice of chocolate fudge cake.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Yum.
0:19:06 > 0:19:07I really like it.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10You're not going to get all that in your mouth.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15Megan and Beth can't wait to get into the tent
0:19:15 > 0:19:19and into their sleeping bags, but will they get any sleep?
0:19:19 > 0:19:22Now we're in the tent...
0:19:24 > 0:19:28..with the sound of the sea and the waterfall
0:19:28 > 0:19:33and I'll have to see how it goes, whether I sleep well or not.
0:19:36 > 0:19:41I crashed out last night and fell asleep straight away.
0:19:41 > 0:19:46Then suddenly I heard a pinging noise and then a camera in my face
0:19:46 > 0:19:48and I remember going like that to Beth
0:19:48 > 0:19:51to be quiet and then I fell asleep again.
0:19:51 > 0:19:58Keirron is back to make the family breakfast and will be their instructor for today's activities.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02Today we're going to be doing coasteering.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05- What?- Coasteering.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07Dangling from rocks over the sea.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09Not exactly. But a bit.
0:20:13 > 0:20:18Super Dad's superhero qualities seem to be rubbing off on the rest of the family.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20They're kitted up and ready for action.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24I think Dad looks a bit better than Mum.
0:20:24 > 0:20:25ALL: Let's go.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31The girls have been looking forward to coasteering all break,
0:20:31 > 0:20:35but faced with getting in the cold sea, are they still up for it?
0:20:35 > 0:20:40It will be fun, once you get used to the cold of the water.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42To be honest, I think Mum and Dad are being braver than us.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45After a quick safety briefing from Keirron.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49Some parts will be a little swim, some parts will be climb out on the rocks.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51So we just take our time.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54It's time to get started.
0:20:57 > 0:21:02For someone who doesn't like getting cold or wet, Mum seems to be enjoying herself.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Yep, definitely looks like thumbs up.
0:21:07 > 0:21:11She's even up for putting her face in a freezing cold rock pool.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14You go, Mum.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16So, Megan, what do you think of coasteering?
0:21:20 > 0:21:23There have been a couple of slips.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27Megan broke my fall at one point so I was really pleased about that.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30Thank you, Megs.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33Slippery.
0:21:33 > 0:21:34I'm feeling great.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36It's really fun doing this.
0:21:36 > 0:21:41Having scrambled their way around the coast, there's only one final jump left to do.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04The Perks family are throwing themselves into their island adventure.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06Next up, it's sea kayaking.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08It's not that easy, is it, Mum?
0:22:08 > 0:22:12Paddle back. I found a sheep.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15The Perks get the seal of approval.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18Is he going to tip us over?
0:22:18 > 0:22:21While Megan and Beth are distracted by the seals,
0:22:21 > 0:22:24Dad paddles off in a different direction.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26Could he possibly be wandering off?
0:22:26 > 0:22:29Back on dry land, what do the girls think?
0:22:29 > 0:22:31I think he wandered off.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33When no-one was looking. You didn't ask.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36It did look like he was wandering off at one point.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40The sea was pushing me out faster in front. So I wasn't wandering off.
0:22:40 > 0:22:46- You're making up excuses. It's just making it worse.- Looked like he was kind of going over there a bit.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49Well, I'm going have to talk to Megan about that.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51If I can get out.
0:22:51 > 0:22:56We need to think about that, Dad. We don't know if we're going to let you off.
0:22:56 > 0:23:00Seriously, can someone actually help me get out?
0:23:01 > 0:23:04So, the jury's out on Dad wandering off,
0:23:04 > 0:23:08but back at the cottage, how are Mum and Dad getting on with the other rules?
0:23:08 > 0:23:10Look at the mess.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14Absolutely everywhere.
0:23:14 > 0:23:19And I so, so, so want to tell her to tidy it all up and put it away.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22No, Beth, you can't tempt me.
0:23:22 > 0:23:26Let's hope Megan and Beth don't play back fam-cam and catch you.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28But you're safe for the moment.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33Its day three of the break and the Perks family are off to
0:23:33 > 0:23:38Port St Mary, to try and spot the second largest living shark, the basking shark.
0:23:38 > 0:23:43But first, what have the girls decided about Dad and his wandering off?
0:23:43 > 0:23:47I think Dad definitely broke the rules kayaking yesterday.
0:23:47 > 0:23:48- Yep.- It's time for his punishment.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Yeah.
0:23:52 > 0:23:56- Hello.- OK, Dad, when we were doing the sea kayaking yesterday,
0:23:56 > 0:23:59you were definitely wandering off.
0:23:59 > 0:24:00You're going to have to wear these.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03I don't deserve this whatsoever.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06I didn't wander off in the sea. I kept as close as I could.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09Honestly, I wasn't wandering off whatsoever.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12Good choice, girls, well spotted.
0:24:12 > 0:24:13For the kids.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15It's time to set sail.
0:24:20 > 0:24:25Basking sharks can be difficult to spot, as they cover large distances in search for food.
0:24:25 > 0:24:30Everyone has their eyes peeled for that tell-tale shark fin.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37- Look. Sheep. - In the water, not on land.
0:24:37 > 0:24:42- Seagulls.- There's someone on the rock.- Gosh, well spotted.
0:24:42 > 0:24:46I think that's where lots of the sea gulls live, over there where all that white seagull pooh is.
0:24:46 > 0:24:54There's still no shark, but as the boat moves into an inlet, they come across a huge colony of seals.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57Quite happy with the seals, to be honest.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59I love seals. They're so cute.
0:24:59 > 0:25:05As the wind picks up, how is Dad coping with wearing his scarf and T-shirt?
0:25:05 > 0:25:08It's loosening up a little bit, so it might,
0:25:08 > 0:25:11you know, fall overboard. I've got to watch out to make sure...
0:25:14 > 0:25:17Nothing good can come from trying to get out of punishments.
0:25:17 > 0:25:24After scanning the seas for hours, the Perks are finally rewarded with a very rare sight.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27- Shark!- Shark!
0:25:28 > 0:25:30I can't believe this.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32We're so, so lucky.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34I think we'll have to let them down gently.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39Today was an excellent day.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41It's been brilliant. I loved it.
0:25:41 > 0:25:48It's the end of the Perks island adventure, but there's still one final treat up for grabs.
0:25:50 > 0:25:57They're playing for an amazing ice cream extravaganza, with 40 different flavours to choose from.
0:25:57 > 0:26:01But will it be Mum and Dad, or Megan and Beth licking their lips with joy?
0:26:01 > 0:26:02Are you ready to play for the final treat?
0:26:02 > 0:26:05We're ready for our treat.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08How much do you like ice cream?
0:26:08 > 0:26:09Yeah, like ice-cream a lot.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12Well, today's your lucky day cos you'll be playing for the chance
0:26:12 > 0:26:18to create your very own ice cream Sunday, with every flavour and topping you can think of.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20Yes, please, please, please.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22I'm going to ask three questions about your break.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25All you have to do is get two right answers to win the treat.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28If not, Mum and Dad are going to win it.
0:26:28 > 0:26:29Never, never.
0:26:29 > 0:26:33Which of these did your dad say was the coldest? Was it...
0:26:37 > 0:26:42Remember when Dad was in the waterfall when he was like shivering and really wanted to get out?
0:26:42 > 0:26:44So, A, the waterfall.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46So you're saying A.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48Well, here's what Dad said.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51I think the waterfall was the coldest.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Yes!
0:26:53 > 0:26:57Well done. All you need is one more correct answer to win the treat.
0:26:57 > 0:27:01- Yes!- Which of these activities did Mum enjoy the most? Was it...
0:27:07 > 0:27:11- Definitely A, coasteering. - Yeah, she said she really liked it.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13So, what's your final answer?
0:27:13 > 0:27:15A, coasteering.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18- You're going with A?- Yes.
0:27:18 > 0:27:19Are you sure?
0:27:19 > 0:27:21Stop leaving us hanging.
0:27:21 > 0:27:22This is what Mum said.
0:27:22 > 0:27:27- Surprisingly, the activity I enjoyed the most was the coasteering.- Yes!
0:27:27 > 0:27:30Congratulations, girls, the treat is yours.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37It's heaven. I can't actually reach.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41I'm not going to let them have any.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53I hope Mum and Dad will let me have ice cream more often.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56I couldn't really wish for anything better.
0:27:56 > 0:28:00It's been brilliant. Even better than I thought it would be.
0:28:00 > 0:28:04We've definitely been given a break. It's brilliant.
