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