0:00:21 > 0:00:24I'm Joe Swash, and this is Gimme A Break.
0:00:24 > 0:00:28Now, if your family holidays trot along at the same old boring pace,
0:00:28 > 0:00:32stop horsing around, get back in the saddle, because in this show,
0:00:32 > 0:00:35you take the reigns. Yee-haw!
0:00:36 > 0:00:40On Gimme A Break, it's the kids who decide where to go and what to do.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42Parents don't get a look in,
0:00:42 > 0:00:45especially when it comes to holiday rules.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Breaking the rules can only lead to one thing.
0:00:48 > 0:00:49Trouble.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Today, I'm in Manchester, and the lucky family
0:00:53 > 0:00:57who will be getting a break are the Britners.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01Jake is ten and an aspiring news reader.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Sister Laila is seven and a budding fashion designer.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08# You ain't nothing but a hound dog. #
0:01:08 > 0:01:10Dad is karaoke king.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13And mum is glamour queen.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15I want to be in charge of the holiday because
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Mum and Dad are always sunbathing.
0:01:18 > 0:01:23We go for our holiday to Benidorm in Spain, and it's very nice,
0:01:23 > 0:01:25but it's always the same every year.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28I like to read the paper, listen to me MP3 player...
0:01:28 > 0:01:30- Yeah.- Plenty of karaoke at night.
0:01:30 > 0:01:35We are the Von Trapps and you're Von Shut Your Trapp, aren't you?
0:01:35 > 0:01:37Not to offend her, but it's terrible.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39I don't care if I offend her!
0:01:39 > 0:01:43- She even sings Valerie, like, "Valerie".- Terrible!
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Really, really terrible.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48They stay there just texting and texting for hours.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50I do text a lot, yeah.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54Spitty tissue is say you have a mark on you after eating or something.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56She gets a tissue out and puts a bit of spit on it
0:01:56 > 0:01:59and then she wipes it off and it's ew!
0:01:59 > 0:02:02I tend to dip it in tea now, I know it's not very hygienic, and do it.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05I don't even like the words spitty tissue.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11It takes her more than half an hour to get dressed.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Just loads of blusher and make-up.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15She's got blusher there,
0:02:15 > 0:02:18lipstick there, another line of lipstick there.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22I wouldn't go out at night without make-up. I probably won't in the day!
0:02:22 > 0:02:26I wouldn't go out at night if she hadn't put make-up on!
0:02:26 > 0:02:29I'd rather stick pins in my eyes than go on an activities holiday.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32I don't do heights, I don't particularly do water,
0:02:32 > 0:02:34don't like boats, potholing.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Don't even mention wet suits.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41She's not going to have any authority at all.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43We'll have it all.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48It's that time in the show
0:02:48 > 0:02:52that strikes fear into parents' hearts across the country.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56It is the Gimme A Break Parent Promise. Dun-dun-dun!
0:02:56 > 0:02:59So mum and dad, please read it out loud with your hand on your hearts.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02- Ready, guys?- Yeah.- You ready?
0:03:02 > 0:03:04BOTH: We, the parents of Jake and Laila,
0:03:04 > 0:03:08hereby hand over control of the next family break.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10There we go, there we go! How do you feel? Give me five!
0:03:10 > 0:03:13- Are you happy? Are you happy?- Yeah.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16- Yeah?- Yes, we're happy now they've said that.- Come on.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20So if you had to pick a holiday for yourself, and you had to list off
0:03:20 > 0:03:23the things you want to do on holiday, what would they be? Jake?
0:03:23 > 0:03:27Stuff like sleeping on a boat, rock climbing...
0:03:27 > 0:03:30- Something we'll never forget. - Sounds wicked. What about you?
0:03:30 > 0:03:34- Horse riding or something like that. - You like animals and you like water.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36What sort of weather?
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Not too hot and not too cold.
0:03:38 > 0:03:42- Just warm.- Because remember, who's in charge?- Us two!
0:03:42 > 0:03:44- Who the boss?- Us two!- Right.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48I think I've got enough to go on. I'm going to put it all together
0:03:48 > 0:03:50and come up with a fantastic holiday for you both.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55I've put together two action-packed holidays
0:03:55 > 0:03:57for Jake and Laila to choose from.
0:03:59 > 0:04:03I've designed a trail of cunningly complex clues for them to follow.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08It could be something like a boat or something
0:04:08 > 0:04:11because bottles do float in the river sometimes.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Gimme A Break treasure map.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25The swords are probably to do with pirates.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29Well, there was sand, so it meant that there was a seaside,
0:04:29 > 0:04:30or something to do with seasides,
0:04:30 > 0:04:33and there was swords, to do with pirates fighting.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36I was a bit puzzled about the fence.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40On the way to the next clue, Jake and Laila find some clothes to wear.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Right.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Sweetcorn. And some clothes.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47And a clue.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57I think we might be going on a pirate ship or something.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01And the wall of corn is Cornwall, of course!
0:05:03 > 0:05:07Jack and Laila cantered their way through the clues for break one,
0:05:07 > 0:05:09and now it's time for this dynamic duo
0:05:09 > 0:05:12to decipher the next set of clues.
0:05:12 > 0:05:13Giddy up, you two!
0:05:17 > 0:05:19"Boarding."
0:05:19 > 0:05:23The stick things said "boarding" on them and it looked like something
0:05:23 > 0:05:26to do with rowing a boat or something.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28The stick things are paddles!
0:05:28 > 0:05:30Put them together with the word boarding
0:05:30 > 0:05:32and you've got paddle boarding.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Take a look.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Up there!
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Shall we go and take a look?
0:05:49 > 0:05:52I thought I was going to be sleeping in a place
0:05:52 > 0:05:55which is surrounded by lots of bats and lots of birds
0:05:55 > 0:05:57and I thought, "Yeah!"
0:06:03 > 0:06:08So Jake, Laila, you had a look for some clues, didn't you?
0:06:08 > 0:06:11We found these swords next to a fence on this pitch of sand.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13What did you think that clue meant?
0:06:13 > 0:06:17- I think it meant something to do with pirates.- You nearly got it.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20It has got to do with pirates. What do you do when you play with swords?
0:06:20 > 0:06:22- You fence?- Yeah.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24- Fencing!- Fencing! - Fencing on the beach.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27- Yeah.- Do you want me to tell you what the first break is?
0:06:27 > 0:06:30- Yes!- Do you want me to tell you? - Yes!
0:06:30 > 0:06:38OK, well, Break Number 1 is a pirate survival holiday in Cornwall.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42- Does that sound good?- Yeah. - Shall we have a look?- Yeah.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Ooh-ar, me hearties.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49Shiver me timbers. It's the Pirate Survival School in Cornwall.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52You'll be fencing and rock climbing,
0:06:52 > 0:06:55you'll spend the night on the high seas aboard this old ship,
0:06:55 > 0:06:58you'll be surfing the waves pirate style,
0:06:58 > 0:07:03and befriending a pirate's favourite chatty companion, the parrot.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05- That looks really good.- Brilliant.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07It's got all the stuff that I want in it.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11- Yeah? What about you, Laila?- Yeah, because I said animals and all that.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13- Are you ready to see Break Number 2? - Yeah.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Tell me about the clues you found for it.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18I found an owl because I looked with the binoculars
0:07:18 > 0:07:20to find the owls and the bats.
0:07:20 > 0:07:21The bat is because
0:07:21 > 0:07:24you're going to go bat spotting in the middle of the night.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28But you're going to have all the technology. How does that sound?
0:07:28 > 0:07:32- That sounds really good.- Really good.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35- Does that sound good? Shall I tell you what this holiday is?- Yeah.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38This holiday is an animal adventure holiday in Suffolk.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41- Shall we have a look?- Yeah.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44This animal adventure could drive mum and dad batty, but you two
0:07:44 > 0:07:47will be having bags of fun on a night time walk
0:07:47 > 0:07:49with these winged friends.
0:07:49 > 0:07:54In the day, you'll meet more flying creatures at the owl sanctuary.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57You'll be riding through the countryside on horseback
0:07:57 > 0:08:00and getting close to the river's wildlife, paddle boarding.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03- What do you think of that? - That looks really good.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05We don't know which one to choose.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08OK, listen, I see a horsie out there.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10I'll spend some time with my four-legged friend
0:08:10 > 0:08:12- while you two make your mind up.- OK.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14There you go.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Good horsie. Whoo-hoo.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Break one. There was fencing on the beach
0:08:22 > 0:08:25and staying in a pirate ship for the night. I love that.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Yeah. I do like the other one
0:08:27 > 0:08:31because it's got all my favourite stuff in it like horse riding.
0:08:32 > 0:08:33Whoa!
0:08:33 > 0:08:35I'm a bit stuck on what to do
0:08:35 > 0:08:38because there's loads of gadgets in break two.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42I think the bats one and the horse riding one.
0:08:42 > 0:08:43Neigh!
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Hey, hey!
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Have you come to a decision yet?
0:08:47 > 0:08:49- Yeah. - Right is it Break Number 1, or...
0:08:49 > 0:08:53- Break number two.- Number two? You picked already? Well done.
0:08:53 > 0:08:58So you're going to be going on the Animal Adventure in Suffolk.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01Before I go, there's one more thing I've got to tell you.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04I'm going to be popping back during your break to tell you
0:09:04 > 0:09:08how you can win a souvenir to take home with you, but...
0:09:08 > 0:09:10if you don't answer the questions correctly,
0:09:10 > 0:09:13- Mum and dad win the souvenir. - No, they're not!
0:09:13 > 0:09:15There's one more thing to do before we go.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17What have we got to do?
0:09:17 > 0:09:19- Book it.- Book it. Ready?
0:09:22 > 0:09:26So, it's an adventure of the animal variety for the Britner family,
0:09:26 > 0:09:30but how will mum and dad cope with the great outdoors?
0:09:31 > 0:09:34Oh, no, I don't like it!
0:09:34 > 0:09:37And who will win the holiday souvenir?
0:09:40 > 0:09:44Breaking news: Mum and Dad terrified as Britner family holiday packing
0:09:44 > 0:09:49gets under way. This is the start of the humiliation holiday.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54You look like Simon Cowell!
0:09:54 > 0:09:57I've got some quite "silly shoes", as I call them.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01These high heels, they hurt Mum, so that's why I put them in.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05I did try and say, "Don't pack the purple ones, cos they hurt me,"
0:10:05 > 0:10:08which probably means the purple ones are in there, thinking about it.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Howdy, partner!
0:10:10 > 0:10:14- Now I'm just starting to think they'll stitch us up.- Oh, yeah.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16The fact he's christened it humiliation holiday
0:10:16 > 0:10:18really should give me the clue.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21The essential thing for a holiday is to have fun.
0:10:21 > 0:10:25Because Dad has no hair, this might help him out a lot.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Yeah, it will!
0:10:27 > 0:10:32I don't think they'll find anything embarrassing in my wardrobe.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34I don't think I've got anything to worry about there.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37Dad got this Indian outfit for Hallowe'en.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41I don't think Mum and Dad will be happy with the packing we've done,
0:10:41 > 0:10:44but you know what? We're in charge, so I don't really care.
0:10:44 > 0:10:45Neither do I!
0:10:45 > 0:10:48They're looking in the wardrobe!
0:10:48 > 0:10:51Jake and Laila have been given FamCam to film the break,
0:10:51 > 0:10:53and they're already putting it to good use.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57Mum and dad are trying to work out what's been packed for the holidays,
0:10:57 > 0:10:59and they aren't happy.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01- Why haven't you packed any of this? - Get out, Mum!
0:11:02 > 0:11:03Taxi!
0:11:04 > 0:11:07The time has come for Jake and Laila
0:11:07 > 0:11:09to put mum and dad out of their misery
0:11:09 > 0:11:11and tell them where they're going.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22- An animal adventure? You've picked that, haven't you?- Mm.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26I've given the animal adventure seven, but that might go up.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28I might come back and say ten.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31Well, I think I give the animal adventure...
0:11:31 > 0:11:34five out of ten. But that could go down yet.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38It will be a short taxi ride
0:11:38 > 0:11:41and a four-hour train journey for the family to Suffolk.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47The Britners arrive at their accommodation for their break,
0:11:47 > 0:11:52a swish country retreat. Even mum and dad must be happy with this.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57- The kids have done really well. - Beautiful.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01But mum and dad might not be smiling in a minute,
0:12:01 > 0:12:04when they see what Jake and Laila have packed for them.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06- That's not mine!- That's for you.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08There's yours, Mum.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11- Dad, put yours on now. - How about that?
0:12:14 > 0:12:17Does that look any better? What's this all about?
0:12:17 > 0:12:20If I was giving them marks out of ten on the packing choices,
0:12:20 > 0:12:23it'd be about minus 50.
0:12:23 > 0:12:24I've got no complaints.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26They've packed that much for me,
0:12:26 > 0:12:29I'll have to get changed two or three times a day so I can wear it all!
0:12:29 > 0:12:33Before the family get too comfy,
0:12:33 > 0:12:35it's time to tame these wayward parents
0:12:35 > 0:12:38and set down some holiday rules.
0:12:38 > 0:12:39Hello, Britner family!
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Hi, Joe!
0:12:41 > 0:12:45Mum, Jake and Laila think you spend far too much time
0:12:45 > 0:12:46beautifying yourself on holiday.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48What have you got to say for yourself?
0:12:48 > 0:12:52I think you don't spend enough time beautifying yourself.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54He's so mean. He's so mean.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Rule number one applies to you, mum.
0:12:56 > 0:13:01You only have five minutes in the morning to apply your make-up.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03- Five minutes? - To put your make-up on!
0:13:05 > 0:13:08Dad, Jake and Laila think you spend far too much time texting
0:13:08 > 0:13:12and listening to music. What have you got to say for yourself?
0:13:12 > 0:13:15- It's all lies.- So, dad, there'll be no more texting
0:13:15 > 0:13:18or listening to the MP3 player on this holiday.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20You've got no chance with no texting.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22And if he comes across anywhere that does internet,
0:13:22 > 0:13:24he can't do that either.
0:13:24 > 0:13:25Excuse me, Mum...
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Who's making the rules up here?
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Right, mum, back to you.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32Wiping Jake and Laila's face with a spitty tissue
0:13:32 > 0:13:35sounds disgusting to me, and there's no excuse for it.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39So Rule Number 3 is there'll be no more spitty tissue on this holiday.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46If either of you break these rules, there will be major consequences.
0:13:46 > 0:13:52Mum, you will be made to sing Valerie in public. No!
0:13:52 > 0:13:55Dad, how does a bowl of your least favourite food of currants,
0:13:55 > 0:13:58pineapple and celery sound?
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Oh, no!
0:14:01 > 0:14:03You'd actually be sick, wouldn't you?
0:14:03 > 0:14:05That is harsh.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09- There is no way I am being caught. - We'll see about that, mum.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12I'll be back later for a chance to win the final souvenir.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15And remember, who's in charge?
0:14:15 > 0:14:19We're in charge on this holiday!
0:14:19 > 0:14:23There is just no way I can eat pineapple, celery or currants.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25I can't even smell pineapple. That makes me feel sick.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29Singing Valerie on my own in public is not going to happen.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34It's been a long day for the Britner family, and they'll
0:14:34 > 0:14:37need to get a good night's sleep, as they have a packed day ahead
0:14:37 > 0:14:40of them tomorrow.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Today's the first day of activities for the family, and the kids are
0:14:43 > 0:14:45in charge. But they won't be the only ones
0:14:45 > 0:14:49holding the reins today, as this morning the family will be
0:14:49 > 0:14:53horse riding, and Jake and Laila have a little surprise for dad.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57We're all ready to go, but first, I want you to put this costume on.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59You're joking!
0:15:04 > 0:15:08On this break, there are two new sheriffs in town.
0:15:09 > 0:15:13But what's this? Rebellion from the parent deputies?
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Mum and dad, get used to it.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Jake and Laila are the bosses on this holiday,
0:15:17 > 0:15:22and if you don't obey them, you'll be in for a 'mare of a time.
0:15:26 > 0:15:32Once Jake and Laila rein in mum and dad, they all saddle up for a safety
0:15:32 > 0:15:34briefing and training.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38It will take more than just a spitty tissue to clean up that mess.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40It's not long before the Britner
0:15:40 > 0:15:43family are ready to hit the Gimme A Break trail.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53Mine's making some seriously funny noises!
0:15:53 > 0:15:57So far, it's been a leisurely saunter through the forest,
0:15:57 > 0:16:01but now it's time to test the family with a bit of a trot.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Oh, no, I don't like it!
0:16:15 > 0:16:18Ooh! I want to get off now.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21OK, then, mum, off you pop.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Lean really forward and bring that leg right over, love.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27Just let me hang on a minute. I need the blood
0:16:27 > 0:16:31to come back to me backside!
0:16:33 > 0:16:36We'll just have to stay like this.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41Mark, just lift me off now. The horse has had enough.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52OK, we'll see you later, then. Let's leave your mum to it.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55Say bye to your mum.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58- That was very uncomfortable, actually.- Very uncomfortable?
0:16:58 > 0:17:00- And did you hurt yourself?- No!
0:17:00 > 0:17:04Yes. I think if I do it again, I need to have some decent
0:17:04 > 0:17:06underpants on next time.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11After all that riding, the Britner family could eat a horse.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13And with the kids in charge,
0:17:13 > 0:17:16mum and dad are worried that that could well be on the menu.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Oh, I hope they're not going to give me the horse I rode today, cos I
0:17:19 > 0:17:21got quite attached to it in the end!
0:17:21 > 0:17:25Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither was this mammoth yeast
0:17:25 > 0:17:29feast, the Leaning Tower of Pizza.
0:17:29 > 0:17:33- Are you ready?- Yeah. - Now take your blindfolds off.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40- It's a tower of pizza.- Wow!
0:17:40 > 0:17:42- We choose what you eat.- OK...
0:17:42 > 0:17:45First floor, hot and spicy.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48Second floor, sweet and sour.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51Third floor, meaty madness.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54Fourth floor, ham-tastic.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58Fifth floor, vegetable delight.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01Penthouse, bananas and cream.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03Let's eat! Bon appetit!
0:18:05 > 0:18:07Can I take the slop off this one?
0:18:07 > 0:18:09- No! You've got to eat the slop. - You know what?
0:18:09 > 0:18:13- I don't think I'm ever going to eat pizza again.- There you are.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Jake, you're in dire need of spitty tissue.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20It doesn't count if I use water. It's not spitty.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23- That isn't spitty.- Get it off!
0:18:23 > 0:18:26There'll be a consequence for that rule break, mum.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30Even me and Laila don't know what the pudding is. I'll read it out.
0:18:30 > 0:18:34"An animal of a pudding." Maybe it's an animal.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43Oh, let's see what this is!
0:18:43 > 0:18:47One, two, three!
0:18:49 > 0:18:52- Doughnuts!- Wow, look at that!
0:18:54 > 0:18:58- Wah-hey!- Are you ready?
0:19:04 > 0:19:07LAUGHTER
0:19:10 > 0:19:16It's up at the crack of sparrows for Day Two's activity, falconry.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21Right, I'm going to introduce you to a couple of our owls.
0:19:21 > 0:19:25- This is Bea.- I thought they only came out at the night-time, owls.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Most owls are crepuscular, and that means they're
0:19:27 > 0:19:30- dawn and dusk hunters.- Right.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34Right, this is Barley, and Barley is a Malaysian wood owl.
0:19:34 > 0:19:38- He keeps on blinking!- Do you know what that thing going over is?- No.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41A third eyelid. When a bird of prey goes to catch its prey, the third
0:19:41 > 0:19:45eyelid covers the eye to protect the eye from getting scratched.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48- Are you ready?- Yeah.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51Arm out.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54- There we go. Fantastic. Was that all right?- Yeah!
0:19:54 > 0:19:56- Stand still. Here we go.- That's it.
0:19:56 > 0:20:01- Lift your hand up slightly.- Let him eat the food.- There you go. OK?
0:20:03 > 0:20:06Fantastic huge wings, haven't they?
0:20:10 > 0:20:12Oh, yeah, hello, bird.
0:20:14 > 0:20:18Oh, all right! A big, loud noise.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20Go on over there.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23There we go.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27It's time for food and it started to rain,
0:20:27 > 0:20:32but because the kids are in charge, no one has to walk.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34There are two modes of transport at their disposal and Jake and Laila
0:20:34 > 0:20:37have to pick their favourite.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Let's see what this says.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48So, will Jake and Laila pick
0:20:48 > 0:20:52the big bouncy Space Hoppers or the shiny sleek scooters?
0:20:52 > 0:20:54The choice is theirs.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57Right, you're doing Hoppers.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01You're doing the Space Hoppers and we'll use the scooters. Go!
0:21:06 > 0:21:09Mum, get back on!
0:21:09 > 0:21:12I'm not cheating.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14- I won!- I'm second.
0:21:16 > 0:21:20Thanks to the rain, there is no picnic in the park for the Britners
0:21:20 > 0:21:23but it's still fun, as they move the meal indoors.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26I think this is the least we deserve after before.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28I do.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31It's day three and the family
0:21:31 > 0:21:34are getting ready for this morning's activity, with
0:21:34 > 0:21:38mum rushing to put her make-up on within the allocated five minutes.
0:21:38 > 0:21:3929, 28...
0:21:39 > 0:21:43I've got one minute of my time left for later on.
0:21:43 > 0:21:47Right, what are we doing today in this beautiful weather?
0:21:47 > 0:21:48Paddle boarding!
0:21:48 > 0:21:52Yay!
0:21:52 > 0:21:55- What's paddle boarding? - What's paddle boarding?
0:21:55 > 0:21:57It's is a type of surfing. The family will stand on
0:21:57 > 0:22:01surf boards using the paddle to make their way up the river.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05- There's your wet suit. - Are they the same size?
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Quick, run!
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Mum makes a bid for freedom.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12I'm going. I'm going to take my chances.
0:22:12 > 0:22:16But there's no escape when the kids are in charge.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19After training and the safety brief, it's time to take to the water.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22- You all right there? - Yeah, I think I'll be fine.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24You can paddle round on your knees just to get used to it.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27Keep paddling, keep paddling.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Bye, Jake, we're going back to the hotel.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32There you go. That's it.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35Jake and Laila have taken to paddle boarding like ducks to water.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37Let's see how mum and dad do.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40Have I got my oar the right way?
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Bet mum's glad of the wet suit now.
0:22:45 > 0:22:49I wonder if dad will do better?
0:22:51 > 0:22:54No, he's even worse than mum.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59That's it, Jake and Laila, show them how it's done.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02I'm going for a tree. Help!
0:23:07 > 0:23:10Ha, loving it.
0:23:11 > 0:23:16There goes dad again and again and again.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27Mark, I knew I'd get to sunbathe at some point.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Did you enjoy the paddle boarding?
0:23:33 > 0:23:35Best thing I've ever done.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38- Really?- Yeah, I think so. - Other than when he married your mum.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41No, it's the best thing I've ever done.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44- Mum, did you enjoy the paddle boarding?- I did, actually.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47Mum! Mum's putting make-up on!
0:23:47 > 0:23:51Mum has broken the rules more than once on this break and for that
0:23:51 > 0:23:53there is a consequence.
0:23:53 > 0:23:58Right, so you've broken the rules so enjoy singing to the public.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00And I think you'll need these.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Feel free to put your hands over your ears now.
0:24:05 > 0:24:09# Since I've come on home, well, my body's been a mess
0:24:09 > 0:24:13# And I miss your ginger hair and the way you like to dress
0:24:13 > 0:24:16# Won't you come on over?
0:24:16 > 0:24:18# Stop making a fool out of me
0:24:21 > 0:24:25# Why don't you come on over, Valerie? #
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Oh, do you know what, that was brilliant. I was so good.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31- Oh, was it? - I'm going to get signed up.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35- You were so bad!- Britain's Got Talent. I'm going to get signed up.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38Oh, you were so bad!
0:24:38 > 0:24:40It's the final night and it's the last activity for
0:24:40 > 0:24:45the family as they bravely venture out on a spooky bat walk.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50How do we hear the bats?
0:24:50 > 0:24:54OK, well we are going to be using a bat detector, which will listen
0:24:54 > 0:24:57for the bats on ultrasound, which is sound that we can't hear.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00We'll be able to hear the sound through the special speakers.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02Any vampire bats?
0:25:02 > 0:25:06No, not in England. Just two or three species in South America only.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11So now they know there will be no vampire bats lurking in
0:25:11 > 0:25:16- the woods, the Britners go to see what they can spot.- Can you hear?
0:25:16 > 0:25:20- That clicking, is that a bat? - That's a bat, a pipistrelle.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23- It's loud.- A bit too loud.
0:25:23 > 0:25:27If you look up you may glimpse them as they dart between the trees.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29There!
0:25:29 > 0:25:31- There!- Directly overhead, yes.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33You know what to get me for Christmas now, seriously.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35I'll have a bat detector.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38As mum plans her Christmas present
0:25:38 > 0:25:43list, the family head back for their last sleep of the break.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Goodbye to Mum and Dad's bedroom.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49The animal adventure is nearly over.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53There's just time to win one last treat.
0:25:53 > 0:25:57Jake and Laila have a chance to win a personalised front page of
0:25:57 > 0:25:58the Gimme A Break Gazette.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01They need to win this quiz, otherwise mum and dad will
0:26:01 > 0:26:02get their own version.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04Listen very carefully.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06I'll ask you three questions.
0:26:06 > 0:26:10If you get two right, you win the souvenir newspaper.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12If not, mum and dad get it.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16OK, here goes, question number one.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18What did mum say was her most humiliating moment?
0:26:18 > 0:26:21Was it, getting off the horse?
0:26:21 > 0:26:23Or was it, falling in the water?
0:26:23 > 0:26:25I think getting off the horse.
0:26:25 > 0:26:30Well, falling in the water's humiliating but she took
0:26:30 > 0:26:33about five minutes to get off the horse.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36- So I'm going for...- For the horse.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39You're saying getting off the horse?
0:26:39 > 0:26:41Here's what mum said.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44My most humiliating moment was getting off the horse.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46Yay!
0:26:47 > 0:26:49Well done, guys. Get the next one right and that
0:26:49 > 0:26:51fabulous treat is yours.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54Question number two. What did dad say was more painful?
0:26:54 > 0:26:57Was it trotting on the horse?
0:26:57 > 0:26:59Or was it listening to mum singing?
0:26:59 > 0:27:02Well, mum's singing was ear-piercing and was a consequence
0:27:02 > 0:27:08for everyone else. But dad really hurt himself and couldn't walk
0:27:08 > 0:27:10the day after with the trotting.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12Yeah, shall we go for trotting?
0:27:12 > 0:27:14Yeah, let's go for A.
0:27:14 > 0:27:19So, you're saying that trotting on the horse? Here's what dad said.
0:27:19 > 0:27:23- The most painful moment was trotting on the horse.- Yes!
0:27:23 > 0:27:25Yes!
0:27:25 > 0:27:28Well done, Jake and Laila, you've won the holiday souvenir.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30The Gimme A Break Gazette.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32Well done, well done.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42Definitely, definitely made the right decision about the animal
0:27:42 > 0:27:45- adventure.- It's been fun for all four of us and there's been lots of
0:27:45 > 0:27:48fun-packed activities.
0:27:48 > 0:27:49I've enjoyed the animal adventure.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52A totally different holiday from what we usually go on.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54It's just been fantastic.
