'This year, one man is on a mission | 0:00:21 | 0:00:24 | |
'to change the lives of a family for ever. | 0:00:24 | 0:00:27 | |
'Their holidays will never be the same again. That man is Joe Swash.' | 0:00:27 | 0:00:32 | |
That's right. I'm putting the kids in charge of the family break. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:36 | |
On Gimme A Break, the kids decide where to go and what to do. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:41 | |
The parents don't get a look-in, especially about the holiday rules. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:45 | |
Breaking the rules can only lead to one thing - trouble. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:50 | |
Today, I'm in the capital of Scotland, Edinburgh, | 0:00:51 | 0:00:54 | |
and the lucky family getting a break are the Prince-Tappes. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:58 | |
Tennis player Aran is 12. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:00 | |
Arty Alice is 9. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:03 | |
Writer Mum can't stop tapping away. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:05 | |
And Dad spends so much time on his phone, | 0:01:05 | 0:01:09 | |
he has his very own nickname - Roxy. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:11 | |
So why do Aran and Alice need to be given a break? | 0:01:11 | 0:01:15 | |
A typical holiday would be going to America. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:19 | |
We were born there and we have to visit friends and family. It's nice. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:23 | |
-But we do the same thing... -Every year. -And we don't go sightseeing. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:27 | |
The kids would probably describe our family holidays as repetitive. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:32 | |
My mum takes us to charity shops. I know it's for a good cause. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:36 | |
But me and Aran don't really like wearing something | 0:01:36 | 0:01:40 | |
that other people have worn. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:42 | |
MUM: I like going to charity shops. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:44 | |
Charity shops in other countries can be even more interesting, | 0:01:44 | 0:01:48 | |
so if the kids are with me, I like to take them. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
Dad is always on his mobile. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
-We've even given him a name - Roxy. -Roxy. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:58 | |
We decided she was like Anthony's second wife. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:01 | |
He could talk to her and get information from her | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
and she always did what he wanted her to do. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |
Mum always brings her laptop and does work. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
And she just says, "Go away, go away." | 0:02:10 | 0:02:14 | |
-"I'm busy." -"I'm working." | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
I sometimes take work with me. The kids don't like that. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:19 | |
My words of warning for our parents are, "Watch out!" | 0:02:19 | 0:02:23 | |
-This time, things are different. -Yeah. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:26 | |
'It's time for the kids to take control of their holiday.' | 0:02:26 | 0:02:30 | |
In my hand, I have something that is more precious than gold - | 0:02:30 | 0:02:34 | |
the Gimme A Break Parent Promise. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:37 | |
-Guys, are you excited? -Yeah! -Yeah! | 0:02:37 | 0:02:40 | |
-If they break the rules, what will there be? -Consequences. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:43 | |
Mum and Dad, please read this aloud with your hands on your hearts. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:48 | |
BOTH: "We, the parents of Aran and Alice, | 0:02:48 | 0:02:51 | |
"hereby hand over control of the next family break." | 0:02:51 | 0:02:56 | |
Yeah! There you go! | 0:02:56 | 0:02:59 | |
-How are you feeling? -We're all right. -A little bit nervous? -Yeah. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:03 | |
-Are you ready to be given a break? -Yeah. -Yeah. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:07 | |
Let's get out of here. See you later, Mum and Dad. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:10 | |
-What would you like to do on a break? -To go somewhere hot. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:14 | |
And I'd love to do water sports. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:16 | |
You're into water sports. You like hot weather. What about animals? | 0:03:16 | 0:03:20 | |
-What's your favourite animal? -Horse or a ferret. -A horse or a ferret. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:25 | |
-And penguins. -I don't know if we're going to get penguins on a beach. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:29 | |
I'll put these ideas together | 0:03:29 | 0:03:32 | |
and come up with two fantastic breaks to choose from. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:35 | |
-Is that cool? -Yeah. -Yeah. -Ready? Hands in. One, two, three! | 0:03:35 | 0:03:39 | |
-Who's in charge? -We are! -We are! | 0:03:39 | 0:03:41 | |
Will Aran and Alice be able to work out what breaks are on offer? | 0:03:41 | 0:03:46 | |
It's time for the first clue and it's an anagram. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:49 | |
"Take a gander at these letters. Arrange them into something better. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:55 | |
"To reveal this country's name, you need to play this guessing game." | 0:03:55 | 0:03:59 | |
"Gander"? Is that a place? | 0:03:59 | 0:04:02 | |
'Not that I've heard of.' | 0:04:02 | 0:04:04 | |
-I've never seen a country that's spelt like that. -'Me neither.' | 0:04:04 | 0:04:08 | |
-"Ander..." -Oh, no! -"Andrag..." | 0:04:08 | 0:04:12 | |
Amsterdam. Dragon. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:14 | |
-"Naergad". -Just go with "Naergad". | 0:04:14 | 0:04:17 | |
I'm not sure I agreed with Alice's suggestion. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:20 | |
-'Next clue.' -"This island paradise is perfect | 0:04:20 | 0:04:24 | |
"for this flipping good activity. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:26 | |
"There's no time to waste as you need to race to your next clue." Go! | 0:04:26 | 0:04:31 | |
'Alice has taken an early lead. Can she finish first?' | 0:04:31 | 0:04:34 | |
Yeah, I win! | 0:04:34 | 0:04:37 | |
I think the flippers and mask meant that we were doing some snorkelling. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:41 | |
'Spot-on! The final clue is not for the shy.' | 0:04:41 | 0:04:46 | |
# I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts | 0:04:46 | 0:04:48 | |
# There they are all standing in a row... # | 0:04:48 | 0:04:52 | |
Yes! # Big ones, small ones... # | 0:04:52 | 0:04:54 | |
"Don't go nuts for cocoa. It's all BEAN done. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:59 | |
"You'll be making a tasty brown treat if you pick this one." | 0:04:59 | 0:05:03 | |
Chocolate is made with cocoa beans. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:06 | |
-Yeah... -Yes! Chocolate is my favourite food. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:09 | |
'It's time for the second of my deliciously difficult puzzles. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:13 | |
'This time I've served them up something tricky.' | 0:05:13 | 0:05:17 | |
"This sandy place will be your base, so remove the S and have a guess. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:21 | |
"It's the biggest one of all. Do you know what it's called?" | 0:05:21 | 0:05:25 | |
What's under here? | 0:05:25 | 0:05:27 | |
-Ooh! -Ooh! | 0:05:27 | 0:05:29 | |
Oh, wow! | 0:05:29 | 0:05:31 | |
'You're supposed to be guessing the clue, not eating it!' | 0:05:32 | 0:05:35 | |
The only thing I learned from that was that the cake was really nice. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:41 | |
'This next clue is out-"sanding".' | 0:05:41 | 0:05:43 | |
"Look at the outline and let me know where you think you're going to go. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:48 | |
"It's the shape of your destination, now you need to guess the nation!" | 0:05:48 | 0:05:52 | |
-It's quite sandy, so it might be Africa. -Or the Middle East. -Yeah. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:57 | |
'Will the final clue send them potty?' | 0:05:57 | 0:06:00 | |
"You'll be BOWLED over when you try this hands-on task. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:04 | |
"It's WHEELY good. POT the balls to guess the activity!" | 0:06:04 | 0:06:09 | |
OK. I'll go first. | 0:06:09 | 0:06:12 | |
# Snooker loopy nuts are we... # | 0:06:12 | 0:06:14 | |
Pot... Pot...E-R. | 0:06:14 | 0:06:16 | |
-Potter. -Potter. | 0:06:18 | 0:06:20 | |
And a potter's wheel. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:25 | |
Yeah, we could be doing pottery. | 0:06:25 | 0:06:27 | |
'Pot...R-E. Pottery. Good guess! | 0:06:27 | 0:06:32 | |
'It's time to find out what breaks are on offer | 0:06:32 | 0:06:35 | |
'and which one they will choose.' | 0:06:35 | 0:06:38 | |
-Right, are you two excited? -Yeah! -Yeah! -I am. | 0:06:38 | 0:06:43 | |
Tell me about break number one and where you think it might be. | 0:06:43 | 0:06:47 | |
We think it might be in the Caribbean. | 0:06:47 | 0:06:50 | |
Why do you think it could be the Caribbean? | 0:06:50 | 0:06:52 | |
Maybe the coconut. We thought that might be where coconuts are grown. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:57 | |
You're spot-on, but the Caribbean has loads of islands. | 0:06:57 | 0:07:01 | |
You'll be going to a beautiful tropical island called Grenada. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:07 | |
Ready...? | 0:07:07 | 0:07:09 | |
You'll certainly make a splash with a water sports holiday to Grenada. | 0:07:09 | 0:07:15 | |
Its clear waters have some of the best snorkelling in the world. | 0:07:15 | 0:07:19 | |
Adventure river tubing will have you making waves. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:22 | |
You'll make your very own delicious chocolate treats. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:26 | |
Will Mum and Dad sink or swim? | 0:07:26 | 0:07:29 | |
So tell me, how are you feeling? Is that good or is it bad? | 0:07:29 | 0:07:33 | |
-That's incredible. -Amazing. It's everything I could have dreamed of. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:37 | |
Give me five, guys! Unfortunately, I've got some bad news. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:41 | |
Things are going to get more difficult | 0:07:41 | 0:07:44 | |
because I've got another break which is just as good as the first one. | 0:07:44 | 0:07:48 | |
Where do you think break number two is? | 0:07:48 | 0:07:51 | |
Somewhere in Africa? | 0:07:51 | 0:07:53 | |
-Why do you think Africa? -I'm not sure. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:56 | |
-Remember this clue? -Yeah. -What came with it? -A massive chocolate cake. | 0:07:56 | 0:08:01 | |
When you go to a restaurant, you have your starters, your mains, | 0:08:01 | 0:08:06 | |
-then following the mains is a...? -Dessert. -Dessert. | 0:08:06 | 0:08:10 | |
If you take the S off of "dessert", you have...? | 0:08:10 | 0:08:14 | |
-Desert. -Desert. -Desert. Correct. | 0:08:14 | 0:08:16 | |
Right, break number two is a trip to Tunisia in North Africa. | 0:08:16 | 0:08:23 | |
You got it right. You go, girl! | 0:08:23 | 0:08:25 | |
Tunisia doesn't just have sandy beaches. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:28 | |
It has a whole desert - the Sahara. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:31 | |
Sand in your shoes isn't an option when you go on the back of a camel. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:36 | |
Afterwards, you'll zip around on a quad bike for a desert adventure. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:40 | |
Then go "clay-zy" with a spot of pottery to get you all fired up! | 0:08:40 | 0:08:45 | |
-Wow! What do you think of that, guys? -That was cool. -Fantastic. | 0:08:45 | 0:08:49 | |
-Have I done good? -Yeah. -Break number one was just as good. -Yeah. | 0:08:49 | 0:08:53 | |
You both need to decide where to go, but come to the same decision. | 0:08:53 | 0:08:58 | |
I'll leave you to it. When I get back, I need to hear | 0:08:58 | 0:09:01 | |
if you're going on break number one or break number two. Hands in, guys. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:05 | |
-After three. One, two, three. Who's in charge? -We are! -We are! | 0:09:05 | 0:09:10 | |
Aw! Cute little guinea pig. | 0:09:11 | 0:09:14 | |
Give us a kiss. Come on. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:16 | |
-Break number one would be nice. -Or break number two with the camel ride. | 0:09:16 | 0:09:21 | |
-Are you getting all the attention? -Joe, are both the guinea pigs OK? | 0:09:21 | 0:09:25 | |
"Both"? | 0:09:25 | 0:09:28 | |
Break number one would be fun with snorkelling and making chocolate. | 0:09:28 | 0:09:33 | |
Oh, what a relief! | 0:09:35 | 0:09:37 | |
I thought I'd lost you or I'd stood on you. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:40 | |
-Have we decided? -Yeah. -Sure? -Yeah. | 0:09:40 | 0:09:43 | |
Right, it's the moment of truth. Have you decided where you're going? | 0:09:43 | 0:09:47 | |
Will it be break number one or break number two? | 0:09:47 | 0:09:51 | |
-Break number one. -Break number one. You're going to Grenada. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:55 | |
Fantastic! Fantastic! | 0:09:55 | 0:09:57 | |
I'll pop back later to tell you where you can win the last treat. | 0:09:57 | 0:10:01 | |
But if you don't win it, Mum and Dad will win it and we don't want that! | 0:10:01 | 0:10:05 | |
-Do we? -No. -Shall we book it? Yeah? -Yeah. -Ready...? | 0:10:05 | 0:10:10 | |
So it's an island paradise break in Grenada for the Prince-Tappe family. | 0:10:11 | 0:10:17 | |
Will life be a beach for Mum and Dad | 0:10:17 | 0:10:20 | |
or will they be sent coconuts with the kids in charge? | 0:10:20 | 0:10:23 | |
Will they play by the rules and who will get the final souvenir? | 0:10:23 | 0:10:28 | |
The first task is to decide what to pack for Mum and Dad. | 0:10:29 | 0:10:33 | |
That's a winter jacket each! | 0:10:35 | 0:10:38 | |
The kids might be playing a prank. | 0:10:38 | 0:10:40 | |
"Oh, darling! How about a posh lamb for dinner?" | 0:10:40 | 0:10:44 | |
I like to roll my clothes up, so they come out a lot less creased. | 0:10:44 | 0:10:49 | |
The kids haven't packed for us before | 0:10:50 | 0:10:53 | |
because they might forget some crucial item. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:56 | |
Here are Mum's one and only pair of high heels. | 0:10:56 | 0:11:00 | |
-Or I'd arrive with only high-heeled shoes. -Yeah. | 0:11:00 | 0:11:03 | |
I think the kids know which clothes belong to which parent. I hope so! | 0:11:06 | 0:11:11 | |
-I think that's Dad's. -Are you sure? | 0:11:11 | 0:11:16 | |
# La-a-a... # | 0:11:16 | 0:11:17 | |
I surrender! | 0:11:17 | 0:11:20 | |
My worst-case scenario is no underwear. | 0:11:20 | 0:11:23 | |
That bag looks like it's packed to the max. Good luck at zipping it up! | 0:11:25 | 0:11:29 | |
-That is so not good! -Uh-oh! | 0:11:31 | 0:11:35 | |
-Hold on. There's another zip. -Yes! | 0:11:35 | 0:11:37 | |
Let's zip it up. Let's try and do it. | 0:11:37 | 0:11:41 | |
Nearly. | 0:11:41 | 0:11:43 | |
Yes! | 0:11:43 | 0:11:45 | |
With the packing done, | 0:11:45 | 0:11:47 | |
the kids can't wait to tell Mum and Dad where they're going. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:51 | |
Mum, Dad, come in! | 0:11:53 | 0:11:55 | |
We're going to Grenada in the Caribbean! | 0:11:55 | 0:11:59 | |
Oh, wow! | 0:11:59 | 0:12:01 | |
Well done, you guys. That's fantastic. | 0:12:01 | 0:12:04 | |
Here's to the kids being in charge! | 0:12:06 | 0:12:09 | |
ALL: Yeah! | 0:12:09 | 0:12:11 | |
The Prince-Tappes are about to set off and have got out the fam-cam. | 0:12:11 | 0:12:15 | |
We're in the house and the taxi's about to come. I'm really excited! | 0:12:15 | 0:12:20 | |
We're going to the airport, then we're flying to Grenada! | 0:12:20 | 0:12:24 | |
Yeah! | 0:12:24 | 0:12:26 | |
The family have a short flight from Edinburgh to London, | 0:12:29 | 0:12:33 | |
then a ten-hour flight to Grenada. | 0:12:33 | 0:12:35 | |
Grenada is a true paradise island | 0:12:35 | 0:12:38 | |
with white sandy beaches, coral reefs and lush rainforests. | 0:12:38 | 0:12:42 | |
But you don't come here to veg out. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:45 | |
The island is bursting with activities for visitors. | 0:12:45 | 0:12:49 | |
The Prince-Tappes have touched down in the Caribbean | 0:12:49 | 0:12:52 | |
and go straight to the hotel for a well-earned rest. | 0:12:52 | 0:12:56 | |
The next morning, Mum and Dad find out if their dream break | 0:12:56 | 0:13:00 | |
will become a nightmare when they go through their bag. | 0:13:00 | 0:13:04 | |
Let's see what you guys have packed. | 0:13:04 | 0:13:06 | |
-Oh, my goodness me! -This might be a little hot at dinner. | 0:13:06 | 0:13:10 | |
-It will keep you warm on those chilly... -Chilly Caribbean nights. | 0:13:10 | 0:13:14 | |
-Whose are those? -I've never worn these in my life! | 0:13:14 | 0:13:18 | |
-Now, we couldn't work out whose this was. -Let's see. | 0:13:18 | 0:13:22 | |
Not quite my style. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:26 | |
Oh, yeah, my favourite high-heeled shoes! | 0:13:26 | 0:13:29 | |
A winter coat! That'll just be great! That'll keep me warm. | 0:13:29 | 0:13:34 | |
Now, these have to be the most useful things you packed(!) | 0:13:34 | 0:13:38 | |
I'm just ashamed that you own them. | 0:13:38 | 0:13:41 | |
-Why? They're fantastic. -Look at that. Look! | 0:13:41 | 0:13:45 | |
-They got everything that was important. -And more. | 0:13:45 | 0:13:48 | |
And some things that were not so important! | 0:13:48 | 0:13:51 | |
The unpacking is only the beginning. | 0:13:51 | 0:13:54 | |
Aran and Alice are about to lay down the law. | 0:13:54 | 0:13:57 | |
'Listen up, Mum and Dad. Aran and Alice have three rules. | 0:13:59 | 0:14:03 | |
'Rule One: Mum - no writing. Not on a keyboard, not by hand, | 0:14:03 | 0:14:08 | |
'not in the sand. None.' | 0:14:08 | 0:14:10 | |
Oh, that's so unfair. | 0:14:12 | 0:14:14 | |
'Dad, Rule Number Two: the kids are fed up with you being on the phone, | 0:14:15 | 0:14:19 | |
'so no Roxy time unless you're given permission.' | 0:14:19 | 0:14:23 | |
All right. This is your holiday so we'll live by your rules. | 0:14:23 | 0:14:28 | |
'The third and final rule is: Mum has to say yes to everything. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:33 | |
'That means no "no".' | 0:14:35 | 0:14:38 | |
You have to say yes to everything. | 0:14:38 | 0:14:40 | |
That's two rules for me and one rule for him! | 0:14:40 | 0:14:44 | |
You're the most vulnerable. | 0:14:44 | 0:14:46 | |
'If you break any of these rules there will be consequences. | 0:14:46 | 0:14:51 | |
'Dad, seeing as you like to work so much, | 0:14:51 | 0:14:54 | |
'your consequence will be working round the hotel, cleaning, dusting | 0:14:54 | 0:14:59 | |
-'and mopping.' -Oh, gosh. | 0:14:59 | 0:15:02 | |
'Mum, since you always drag the kids on shopping trips, | 0:15:02 | 0:15:06 | |
'you'll have a gross outfit of second-hand clothes | 0:15:06 | 0:15:10 | |
-'that may or may not have been washed.' -Eeeew! | 0:15:10 | 0:15:15 | |
'So be warned.' | 0:15:15 | 0:15:17 | |
BOTH: We're going to be watching you. | 0:15:17 | 0:15:20 | |
'I'll be back later on when you kids take on you adults | 0:15:20 | 0:15:25 | |
-'to play for a special souvenir. Bye!' -Bye! -Bye! | 0:15:25 | 0:15:30 | |
Anthony's going to break the rule first, clearly. Not me. | 0:15:30 | 0:15:34 | |
-No, I think Ruth will fall first. -I don't think so! | 0:15:34 | 0:15:40 | |
These are the rules. | 0:15:40 | 0:15:42 | |
My consequence of having to wear a stinky, second-hand outfit, | 0:15:42 | 0:15:46 | |
that's dreadful! Awful! In public as well! | 0:15:46 | 0:15:50 | |
Now that the rules are laid down, time to see what else is in store. | 0:15:50 | 0:15:56 | |
-Today's activity is beach games. -All right! | 0:15:56 | 0:16:01 | |
And guess who's the judges? We are! | 0:16:01 | 0:16:04 | |
The first challenge is sand drawing. | 0:16:04 | 0:16:07 | |
The kids' fish picture is going well until...whoops! | 0:16:07 | 0:16:12 | |
What have Mum and Dad drawn? A crab and a bird? Surely it's in the bag. | 0:16:13 | 0:16:19 | |
-We can all agree that the winners are... -Aran and Alice! | 0:16:19 | 0:16:23 | |
Huh?! Oh, well. They're in charge. | 0:16:25 | 0:16:28 | |
The beach games continue with blindfolded It. | 0:16:28 | 0:16:33 | |
Where are you going, Mum? Come back! ..The kids win again. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:38 | |
The final challenge is a relay race. | 0:16:38 | 0:16:41 | |
Mum and Alice are neck-and-neck the whole way. | 0:16:42 | 0:16:45 | |
Dad and Aran compete in the final leg. It looks like a dead heat! | 0:16:45 | 0:16:51 | |
-It's being judged by the kids, so anything's possible. -I won! | 0:16:51 | 0:16:56 | |
Did you?! It's a slightly questionable 3-0 to the kids. | 0:16:56 | 0:17:01 | |
The day ends with a feast. | 0:17:01 | 0:17:04 | |
Everything Mum and Dad eat will be chosen by the kids. | 0:17:04 | 0:17:09 | |
-And Mum must say yes to everything. -Welcome! -Here's the menu. | 0:17:09 | 0:17:14 | |
And you're having... Caribbean chicken. | 0:17:14 | 0:17:18 | |
Lovely! Yum-yum. | 0:17:18 | 0:17:21 | |
Now the kids have chosen, they all watch their dinner being barbecued. | 0:17:21 | 0:17:26 | |
It smells nice. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:28 | |
-The beach games worked up their appetites. -Oh, that's delicious. | 0:17:28 | 0:17:34 | |
Thank you so much, you guys. That was a really good decision. | 0:17:35 | 0:17:39 | |
I like it when you decide. | 0:17:39 | 0:17:41 | |
-I never thought you'd say that. -You might be talking too soon. | 0:17:41 | 0:17:46 | |
This is only the first day. It's time for dessert. | 0:17:46 | 0:17:50 | |
-So what's for pudding, Alice? -There's one thing we haven't had. | 0:17:50 | 0:17:55 | |
That's Surf Shack Surprise. | 0:17:55 | 0:17:58 | |
Oh, wow. Oh, my goodness! | 0:17:58 | 0:18:02 | |
Wow. | 0:18:02 | 0:18:03 | |
Surf Shack Dessert is modelled on a Caribbean surf shack. | 0:18:03 | 0:18:08 | |
And, of course, it's the kids who get to demolish it first. | 0:18:08 | 0:18:13 | |
I'll take these chocolate fingers and then concentrate on the cake. | 0:18:13 | 0:18:18 | |
The sun is going down on the first day of their paradise island break. | 0:18:26 | 0:18:30 | |
I can't see Mum and Dad needing those winter clothes. | 0:18:30 | 0:18:34 | |
The next morning, the family are up early | 0:18:37 | 0:18:40 | |
to travel by Jeep safari to the location of the first activity. | 0:18:40 | 0:18:46 | |
And it's a bit tasty - chocolate. | 0:18:46 | 0:18:48 | |
Hello, Alice, Aran. Thank you for visiting us. | 0:18:48 | 0:18:53 | |
We'll show you how we make chocolate from cocoa beans that we grow. | 0:18:53 | 0:18:57 | |
This is a cocoa pod where chocolate comes from. They grow on trees. | 0:18:57 | 0:19:02 | |
And if I crack it for you and open it up, | 0:19:02 | 0:19:06 | |
there's beautiful fruit inside. | 0:19:06 | 0:19:08 | |
-And you can suck the fruit off of the seeds. -Yes, please. | 0:19:08 | 0:19:13 | |
It's very, very delicious. | 0:19:13 | 0:19:16 | |
Mmm! | 0:19:18 | 0:19:20 | |
It's not like chocolate. It's like passion fruit. | 0:19:20 | 0:19:24 | |
The seeds from the cocoa pods are fermented and dried | 0:19:24 | 0:19:28 | |
and then need to be sorted. | 0:19:28 | 0:19:31 | |
You just shovel them into a bucket like that. | 0:19:31 | 0:19:35 | |
If you see a bad one like that, you just pull it out. | 0:19:35 | 0:19:39 | |
-Too small? -No, that one's good. | 0:19:39 | 0:19:42 | |
Come on, kids! Get a move on if you want to taste that chocolate. | 0:19:42 | 0:19:46 | |
The good cocoa beans are then processed into liquid chocolate, | 0:19:46 | 0:19:50 | |
ready to be made into bars. | 0:19:50 | 0:19:53 | |
Very good. You made a chocolate bar. | 0:19:53 | 0:19:56 | |
Aran and Alice have decided they don't want their parents doing this. | 0:19:56 | 0:20:01 | |
Now push the pedal again and pull it back. There we go. | 0:20:05 | 0:20:09 | |
You made a chocolate bar. | 0:20:09 | 0:20:12 | |
We put it on here to vibrate it. Well done. | 0:20:12 | 0:20:16 | |
Maybe not the perfect size, but I'll explain to our customers. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:21 | |
No visit here would be complete without a tasting session. | 0:20:21 | 0:20:26 | |
Can we have some, too? Just a little bit? We love chocolate. | 0:20:26 | 0:20:30 | |
-Please? -A very small bit. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:34 | |
Very nice. | 0:20:34 | 0:20:36 | |
Amazing. That's fantastic. | 0:20:36 | 0:20:39 | |
Chocolate making hit the spot! | 0:20:42 | 0:20:44 | |
But will the next activity be as appetising? | 0:20:44 | 0:20:48 | |
-The next activity is river tubing! -River tubing? | 0:20:48 | 0:20:53 | |
What's that? Let's go and find out. | 0:20:53 | 0:20:57 | |
Grenada's mountains mean there are fast-flowing rivers and waterfalls. | 0:20:57 | 0:21:01 | |
Perfect terrain for tubing. | 0:21:01 | 0:21:04 | |
The family jump in their tubes and set off. | 0:21:04 | 0:21:08 | |
It's not long before the river starts getting rough. | 0:21:08 | 0:21:12 | |
This high-adrenaline activity involves being spun round | 0:21:15 | 0:21:19 | |
through rock-filled rapids. | 0:21:19 | 0:21:22 | |
Dad's got himself in a spin! | 0:21:28 | 0:21:31 | |
Things go well until Alice takes a closer look at the vegetation! | 0:21:34 | 0:21:39 | |
It's quite scary sometimes. It felt like you would crash. | 0:21:46 | 0:21:50 | |
You DID crash, all the time. | 0:21:50 | 0:21:52 | |
It's very exciting. I loved that. | 0:21:52 | 0:21:55 | |
-High five! -Water - great choice of activity to end the day. | 0:21:55 | 0:22:01 | |
-Day Three and it's... -Another morning in the Caribbean. | 0:22:10 | 0:22:15 | |
-How are the activities going so far? -They're going very well, | 0:22:15 | 0:22:19 | |
but the best one's today. | 0:22:19 | 0:22:22 | |
This morning's activity is... snorkelling! | 0:22:22 | 0:22:27 | |
-Whoo! -Wow! | 0:22:27 | 0:22:29 | |
Mum and Dad look excited now, but will they feel all at sea? | 0:22:29 | 0:22:33 | |
They're being instructed by Ocean. | 0:22:37 | 0:22:39 | |
And, yes, that really is his name! | 0:22:39 | 0:22:43 | |
The best area to snorkel is here. Wave your fin behind you like a fan. | 0:22:43 | 0:22:48 | |
You do this and get a breeze. Do it in the water. | 0:22:48 | 0:22:52 | |
Once they've been taught the basics, they get kitted up and jump in. | 0:22:52 | 0:22:57 | |
That's it. | 0:22:57 | 0:22:59 | |
It seems that they've taken to snorkelling like fish to water. | 0:23:13 | 0:23:18 | |
Grenada's coral reefs teem with tropical fish and marine wildlife. | 0:23:20 | 0:23:26 | |
Even the coral itself is alive, but it grows very, very slowly. | 0:23:26 | 0:23:31 | |
What's that? That black and white fish is a spotted drum. | 0:23:31 | 0:23:36 | |
Dad's on a roll. He's spotted Oc...Oc... | 0:23:48 | 0:23:53 | |
You know what? It's a jellyfish. | 0:23:54 | 0:23:57 | |
-After the snorkelling, they make their way back. -Wow. | 0:23:57 | 0:24:02 | |
That was magical. | 0:24:03 | 0:24:06 | |
Absolutely unbelievable. | 0:24:06 | 0:24:08 | |
The snorkelling was so relaxing that Mum and Dad let their guard down. | 0:24:08 | 0:24:14 | |
Big mistake. The kids are in the mood to try to catch them out. | 0:24:14 | 0:24:19 | |
Will you stop drinking that? I have stopped. | 0:24:19 | 0:24:23 | |
-Are you going to stop? -Are you going to have any more? | 0:24:23 | 0:24:28 | |
No. | 0:24:28 | 0:24:30 | |
-Rule break! -Mum, you've been busted. | 0:24:31 | 0:24:33 | |
You were supposed to say yes to everything. Smelly outfit for you! | 0:24:33 | 0:24:39 | |
They need to get back to the resort. The kids will decide how. | 0:24:39 | 0:24:44 | |
Which will you choose? There's nothing to lose. | 0:24:44 | 0:24:47 | |
Jet back in this boat or get your parents to float. | 0:24:47 | 0:24:51 | |
-Hmm. -Hmm. | 0:24:51 | 0:24:53 | |
SO will the kids feel the need for speed and go for the fast option? | 0:24:53 | 0:24:57 | |
Or make Mum and Dad take a swim? | 0:24:57 | 0:25:00 | |
-The parents are gonna... -Float! -Definitely. | 0:25:00 | 0:25:04 | |
Bad luck, Mum and Dad. You're going to get wet again. | 0:25:04 | 0:25:09 | |
Aran and Alice jet off while Mum and Dad paddle back. | 0:25:11 | 0:25:16 | |
Keep going! Luckily, they're strong swimmers. | 0:25:16 | 0:25:20 | |
The sun is going down on Day Three, | 0:25:24 | 0:25:27 | |
but if Mum thinks they've forgotten her rule break, she's dreaming! | 0:25:27 | 0:25:32 | |
Her consequence is to wear a smelly, second-hand outfit. | 0:25:32 | 0:25:36 | |
-What do I do? -Wear them. | 0:25:36 | 0:25:39 | |
Oh, no... In public. | 0:25:39 | 0:25:42 | |
What do you think? | 0:25:44 | 0:25:46 | |
Eeeew! | 0:25:46 | 0:25:47 | |
That is disgusting! | 0:25:47 | 0:25:50 | |
What about my purple trousers? | 0:25:50 | 0:25:54 | |
-This is what you wanted me to do. -Of course we did. | 0:25:54 | 0:25:58 | |
But I kind of like it. | 0:25:58 | 0:26:00 | |
The joke's on Aran and Alice | 0:26:00 | 0:26:03 | |
as Mum wears her new, funky threads for the entire evening. | 0:26:03 | 0:26:07 | |
It's the final day and almost time to say goodbye to this paradise. | 0:26:12 | 0:26:18 | |
But the tension is rising as the family go head-to-head | 0:26:18 | 0:26:22 | |
for the ultimate souvenir - personalised snorkelling gear. | 0:26:22 | 0:26:26 | |
-Kids, are you ready to win? -BOTH: Yeah! | 0:26:26 | 0:26:29 | |
-Mum and Dad, are you ready to win? -Absolutely! -Yeah! -Let's play. | 0:26:29 | 0:26:34 | |
Kids, I will ask you three questions. | 0:26:34 | 0:26:38 | |
If you get two right, the prize is yours. If not, it goes to them. | 0:26:38 | 0:26:43 | |
-Are you ready? -BOTH: Yeah! | 0:26:43 | 0:26:45 | |
Which food did Mum enjoy the most? | 0:26:45 | 0:26:49 | |
The chocolate...but... She didn't have much of the Surf Shack Surprise. | 0:26:54 | 0:27:01 | |
-Have you got your final answer? -Chocolate. -We think it's chocolate. | 0:27:01 | 0:27:05 | |
-Here's what your mum said. -What I enjoyed most was the chocolate. | 0:27:05 | 0:27:10 | |
-Yay! -Yes! | 0:27:10 | 0:27:11 | |
Two more to do and we've to get another one right. | 0:27:11 | 0:27:16 | |
OK, question two. Was Dad more proud of river tubing without falling out? | 0:27:16 | 0:27:21 | |
Or snorkelling on the coral reef? | 0:27:21 | 0:27:25 | |
-Hmm, he was really proud of the snorkelling. -Yeah. | 0:27:25 | 0:27:29 | |
-But... Yeah, I think... -Yeah, snorkelling. | 0:27:29 | 0:27:33 | |
-Have you got your final answer? -The snorkelling. -The answer is... | 0:27:33 | 0:27:38 | |
I was most proud of snorkelling in a coral reef. | 0:27:38 | 0:27:42 | |
-Yes! -Yay! | 0:27:42 | 0:27:44 | |
-We won! -Woo-hoo! -High five! | 0:27:44 | 0:27:47 | |
-Well done, guys. You won the prize. -Yay! -Yay! | 0:27:47 | 0:27:52 | |
I really liked being in charge. | 0:27:55 | 0:27:58 | |
Grenada definitely lived up to its reputation. | 0:27:58 | 0:28:02 | |
I think the kids chose a fantastic break. | 0:28:02 | 0:28:06 | |
It's just been really special. | 0:28:06 | 0:28:09 |
