Good morning, campers.

0:00:210:00:23

Do your family holidays ever turn into a boring washout

0:00:230:00:27

that leaves you feeling cold?

0:00:270:00:28

If so, it's time to unzip a whole new world.

0:00:280:00:32

This is Gimme A Break the show that lets you take charge.

0:00:320:00:35

On Gimme A Break it's the kids that decide where to go and what to do.

0:00:350:00:40

Parents don't get a look-in

0:00:400:00:43

especially when it comes to the holiday rules.

0:00:430:00:45

Breaking the rules can only lead to one thing, trouble.

0:00:450:00:50

Today I'm in Cheshire and it's time to meet our lucky family.

0:00:500:00:54

Meet the Andersons.

0:00:540:00:57

Making up this family of fun are 12-year-old hockey star, Lucy,

0:00:570:01:00

ten-year-old street dancer, Ellie,

0:01:000:01:03

and nine-year-old karate kid William.

0:01:030:01:05

Plus there's hill walker dad

0:01:050:01:08

and magazine queen mum.

0:01:080:01:11

So, why do Lucy, Ellie and William deserve to be given a break?

0:01:110:01:16

To sum our holiday up in three words it would be boring, boring, boring.

0:01:160:01:20

Mum and dad's idea of a perfect holiday

0:01:200:01:22

would just be like lying around and doing nothing all day.

0:01:220:01:26

We want to do activities and mum and dad just say entertain yourselves.

0:01:260:01:32

We do a lot of very exciting things.

0:01:320:01:35

We sit round the pool, we go for a swim in the pool.

0:01:350:01:38

We sit on the beach and occasionally go for a swim in the sea.

0:01:380:01:43

Mum doesn't like getting in the pool.

0:01:430:01:46

If I'm totally honest, I'd actually rather be laying...

0:01:460:01:49

on my sun lounger on the sand rather than actually be in the water.

0:01:490:01:54

-WILLIAM:

-She always says, "I'm scared and don't want to do it."

0:01:540:01:57

I certainly don't like getting my hair wet.

0:01:570:02:00

The one thing I always take away

0:02:000:02:01

on holiday with me is my laptop just so I can check up on emails.

0:02:010:02:07

He says it'll take about five minutes

0:02:070:02:08

but it always takes half an hour.

0:02:080:02:10

Mum always makes us eat vegetables with every single meal.

0:02:100:02:15

We do allow them the occasional ice cream,

0:02:150:02:18

if they've been good

0:02:180:02:20

but we always make... and they enjoy the fruit.

0:02:200:02:24

Lucy and Ellie will occasionally have some vegetables.

0:02:240:02:27

I'm really excited about this break because we'll be in control.

0:02:270:02:31

Right, it seems that this lot think that you're too boring on holiday,

0:02:330:02:37

you do too much sunbathing and not enough exciting stuff, am I right?

0:02:370:02:41

-KIDS: Yeah.

-Is that what they are like on holiday?

-Yeah.

0:02:410:02:44

-Mum and Dad, what have you got to say?

-It's just not the case.

0:02:440:02:47

-Are they telling the truth?

-No.

-Are they boring on holiday?

-Yeah.

0:02:470:02:52

Mum and Dad it's that time in the show

0:02:520:02:54

that makes parents' hair stand on end.

0:02:540:02:56

It's the Gimme A Break Parents' Promise.

0:02:560:02:58

-So please read that out to us.

-MUM AND DAD: "We the parents..."

0:02:580:03:01

"..hand over control of the next family break."

0:03:050:03:09

How does that feel? Does that feel good?

0:03:090:03:12

-Yeah.

-Are you excited?

-Yeah.

-Do you feel powerful and strong?

-Yeah.

0:03:120:03:15

Mum and Dad, a little bit scared, a little bit vulnerable maybe?

0:03:150:03:18

A little vulnerable. We've got lovely children

0:03:180:03:20

I'm sure they'll look after us.

0:03:200:03:22

Shall we go and talk about our breaks?

0:03:220:03:24

-Yeah!

-Let's get out of here, come on.

0:03:240:03:26

What is it you want from a break?

0:03:260:03:29

Quad biking, water sports and stuff like that.

0:03:290:03:32

-A bit of adventure.

-Yeah.

0:03:320:03:34

What would you like from your holiday?

0:03:340:03:36

Like just adrenaline fun, non-stop action, water sports.

0:03:360:03:41

Lucy what do you want from your break?

0:03:410:03:44

Just something we haven't done before.

0:03:440:03:46

So, you're all looking for new experiences, fun,

0:03:460:03:49

excitement, adventure.

0:03:490:03:51

I've got enough there to get on with so I'm going to go away

0:03:510:03:53

and I'll come up with two fantastic breaks

0:03:530:03:56

-for you to decide from, yeah?

-Yeah.

0:03:560:03:58

Give me five, guys. Catch you later.

0:03:580:04:00

I've lined up two amazing breaks.

0:04:020:04:05

Before they can choose, they need to guess what they're in for

0:04:050:04:08

by solving a bunch of crazy clues.

0:04:080:04:11

It's a windbreaker so it could near the beach.

0:04:110:04:16

A beach, that's not really narrowing down is it?

0:04:160:04:19

-Hey look "sit here".

-OK.

0:04:190:04:21

PHRRRTTT!

0:04:210:04:23

A fart holiday?

0:04:230:04:26

It was smelly so we thought maybe smelly cheese from maybe France.

0:04:260:04:31

Ooh-la-la, Ellie,

0:04:310:04:33

you've been blown off course with that wind themed clue.

0:04:330:04:36

-Got to stand here.

-Can you do any better with this one?

0:04:360:04:40

The board could be something to do with surfing or body boarding.

0:04:420:04:47

There's more to it than that, William. These clues

0:04:470:04:49

are proving to be anything but a breeze.

0:04:490:04:52

-Get it.

-Let's catch it!

0:04:520:04:55

I think it might be fishing or snorkelling because of the crab.

0:05:030:05:07

Almost, Lucy,

0:05:070:05:09

it's fishing for crabs, otherwise known as crabbing.

0:05:090:05:12

Time to give it some wellie with break number two.

0:05:120:05:15

Throw to the tree and follow your first clue.

0:05:150:05:18

-Three, two, one...

-ALL: ..go!

0:05:180:05:20

BAGPIPES PLAY

0:05:200:05:22

-Game.

-Snakes and ladders.

-And it says "land".

0:05:220:05:24

It could be a puzzle holiday.

0:05:240:05:26

Puzzle holiday, that sounds fun.

0:05:260:05:29

Think land and games high up, any idea?

0:05:290:05:32

Farmland?

0:05:330:05:34

Try higher...land

0:05:340:05:36

games.

0:05:360:05:37

BAGPIPES PLAY

0:05:370:05:41

ALL: "There are two clues

0:05:410:05:42

"hidden in this field. Hunt, search and keep your eyes peeled."

0:05:420:05:48

-E...

-Gold eagle.

0:05:520:05:55

Seagulls are usually found on the beach.

0:05:570:06:01

It could be like E,

0:06:010:06:02

with the letter,

0:06:020:06:03

and the sea gull and you could take out gull so, eagle.

0:06:030:06:06

Hang on a second,

0:06:060:06:07

isn't that what William just said? I think you've cracked the clue.

0:06:070:06:11

Now it's the final one for this break.

0:06:110:06:13

-It's got...

-It says, "Build me."

0:06:140:06:18

It's a miracle.

0:06:240:06:26

White water rafting.

0:06:260:06:28

Well, done Lucy, you've got the right idea.

0:06:280:06:31

Time to find out where the two breaks are.

0:06:310:06:33

I can feel the tension is building.

0:06:360:06:38

-What is break number one?

-Near a beach.

-Near a beach.

0:06:380:06:43

-There was one clue you didn't quite understand did you?

-No.

0:06:430:06:47

There you stick that on.

0:06:470:06:48

Beautiful you look like one of your sisters.

0:06:480:06:51

Fan blowing against your hair because your hair is windswept.

0:06:510:06:55

The final clue was this -

0:06:550:06:58

a surf board, windsurfing. See?

0:06:580:07:01

Let me take that off your head.

0:07:010:07:03

I can tell you that holiday number one is a windy break in Norfolk.

0:07:030:07:07

-Ready to see it?

-Yeah.

0:07:070:07:09

On this fun packed breezy break you'll have no time

0:07:090:07:13

for sunbathing or lazing around. You'll learn how to windsurf,

0:07:130:07:17

try your hand at a spot of crabbing,

0:07:170:07:20

you'll rise to the challenge when making your own bread

0:07:200:07:23

and you'll get to chill out and stay in an amazing windmill hotel. Guys,

0:07:230:07:29

-what about break number one?

-That looked good.

-It looked good?

-Yeah.

0:07:290:07:33

-Something you're interested in?

-Yes.

0:07:330:07:35

-What do you Mum'll make of wind surfing.

-She'll be terrible at it.

0:07:350:07:38

-Terrible. You think she'll be no good?

-No.

-So,

0:07:380:07:41

break number two what do you think that could be?

0:07:410:07:43

I thought it might be in Scotland because there was like an army coat

0:07:430:07:48

and a Scottish hat and binoculars.

0:07:480:07:50

OK. I can tell you break number two is hills and thrills

0:07:500:07:54

in the Highlands of Scotland.

0:07:540:07:57

-Cool.

-Does that sound amazing? Shall we have a little look?

-Yeah.

0:07:570:08:01

With this break you'll head into the great outdoors

0:08:020:08:04

for a stunning Scottish adventure.

0:08:040:08:06

You'll get the adrenaline pumping when you have a go

0:08:060:08:09

at white water rafting.

0:08:090:08:11

You'll be going off road

0:08:110:08:13

to spot golden eagles on a 4 x 4 highland safari

0:08:130:08:17

and you'll give boredom the heave-ho when you try some Highland games.

0:08:170:08:20

So, that was break number two, what do you think?

0:08:220:08:25

-Cool.

-Did it look good?

-Yeah.

-Exciting, fun?

-Yeah.

0:08:250:08:30

You guys must decide what break you want to go on.

0:08:300:08:32

I've got to go because I've got some really urgent business to attend to.

0:08:320:08:36

-When I come back, tell me what you've chosen.

-Yeah.

0:08:360:08:39

Right, see you in a little while.

0:08:390:08:41

I think we should go to Norfolk.

0:08:440:08:46

I know. But staying in a windmill?

0:08:460:08:48

Yeah, don't you want to do that?

0:08:480:08:49

And Swash is round one! He's round two!

0:08:490:08:52

He sees a goal! Yeah!

0:08:520:08:55

Well, what things do you want to do in Scotland?

0:08:550:08:57

The white water rafting.

0:08:570:08:59

He's done it! He's won it for England.

0:08:590:09:02

-So, we've made a decision.

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-OK.

0:09:020:09:05

Yes!

0:09:050:09:07

Well, glad I got that work out of the way.

0:09:070:09:11

-Have you come to a decision?

-Yeah.

0:09:110:09:13

-What is it?

-Break number one.

0:09:130:09:16

The windy break to Norfolk.

0:09:160:09:17

What made you pick number one?

0:09:170:09:20

-The windsurfing.

-What about you, Will?

-The windsurfing.

0:09:200:09:23

-The windsurfing as well. Are you happy?

-Yeah.

-Ready?

0:09:230:09:26

Booked.

0:09:270:09:29

I'll check in with you during your break to Norfolk

0:09:290:09:32

and tell you how you can win one final treat.

0:09:320:09:35

If you answer incorrectly

0:09:350:09:37

and you mess up, then Mum and Dad are going to get the treat.

0:09:370:09:40

Now, don't tell Mum and Dad about anything this is top secret.

0:09:400:09:44

-What is it?

-Top secret.

0:09:440:09:48

So, Lucy, Ellie and William

0:09:480:09:49

are over the moon with the idea of a breezy break in Norfolk

0:09:490:09:52

but what will Mum and Dad

0:09:520:09:54

make of a fun-packed holiday

0:09:540:09:57

with no chance of sunbathing by the pool?

0:09:570:09:59

And who will bag the final souvenir?

0:09:590:10:04

The kids are wearing the trousers on this break

0:10:080:10:10

and everything is up to them including what Mum and Dad wear.

0:10:100:10:13

If the children pack for themselves it would be an absolute disaster.

0:10:130:10:19

This would come in handy.

0:10:190:10:21

Massive!

0:10:210:10:23

They have no commonsense whatsoever.

0:10:230:10:26

Urgh. These are horrible.

0:10:260:10:29

This is disgusting.

0:10:290:10:31

I think somewhere lurking in my wardrobe

0:10:310:10:33

I've got a pair of leather trousers that I used to wear.

0:10:330:10:37

These will keep the wind off.

0:10:370:10:39

The worse case scenario for me

0:10:390:10:41

would be if they packed any of my golfing gear.

0:10:410:10:44

-What about Dad's 1980's golf trousers.

-Oh, yeah.

0:10:440:10:48

I've a feeling they might just be all thrown into the suitcase

0:10:480:10:52

and I'm going to end up with a big crumpled mess.

0:10:520:10:56

ALL: Yes!

0:11:020:11:03

The kids have their very own Gimme A Break fam cam

0:11:050:11:08

and they're already calling the shots.

0:11:080:11:11

About to wake up Mum and Dad and it's the morning of the break.

0:11:110:11:15

Morning. Morning, Mum.

0:11:150:11:18

Once Mum and Dad are out of bed, time to reveal where they are going.

0:11:180:11:21

-ALL: Special delivery.

-What's all this then?

0:11:210:11:25

ALL: Three, two, one.

0:11:260:11:28

Windy...break...

0:11:290:11:31

-Norfolk.

-Norfolk!

0:11:310:11:32

Fantastic. I give the kids ten out of ten.

0:11:320:11:36

I know the children know we like to relax when we go away

0:11:360:11:39

so I would hope

0:11:390:11:40

that we are not doing anything that involves any strenuous exercise.

0:11:400:11:44

Good luck with that one, Dad, I think the kids have got other ideas.

0:11:440:11:48

But, there's no time to hang around, it's off to the station.

0:11:480:11:51

The family have a four hour train journey ahead of them

0:11:510:11:54

to get from Cheshire to Norfolk in the east of England.

0:11:540:11:58

Miles of sandy beaches and flat countryside

0:12:010:12:03

make Norfolk a top spot for wind-based activities.

0:12:030:12:06

And when the Andersons arrive, the wind is definitely blowing.

0:12:060:12:10

Time to check out their luxury hotel.

0:12:100:12:13

-Wow, look at this.

-It's a bit nice, isn't it?

0:12:130:12:17

-Mum and Dad seem chuffed with the hotel.

-Who's sleeping where?

0:12:170:12:20

But what will they make of the kids packing pranks.

0:12:200:12:24

For goodness' sake! I thought you said you'd packed it neatly.

0:12:270:12:30

-<

-Your pink tie.

0:12:300:12:32

Any particular reason why you've brought this.

0:12:320:12:36

You might need it.

0:12:360:12:38

Oh, a dinner party?

0:12:380:12:39

-Oh, come on.

-Oh, dear.

0:12:390:12:42

Who has put these in the case? Me.

0:12:420:12:45

These trousers have not been worn for ten years.

0:12:450:12:48

Oh, no.

0:12:480:12:50

How did you find these? Between you and me, guys,

0:12:500:12:53

I think the fashion police just might be after us.

0:12:530:12:56

-What have you actually packed for me to wear?

-Oh, a pair of shorts.

0:12:560:12:59

And a T-shirt.

0:12:590:13:01

A pair of shorts and a T-shirt

0:13:010:13:04

and my suit jacket and seven ties.

0:13:040:13:08

The mark out of ten

0:13:080:13:09

I would give the children for their packing is a big fat zero.

0:13:090:13:13

I think Dad's reaction was really mean and unfair

0:13:130:13:15

because we did a pretty good job.

0:13:150:13:17

It's amazing, I'm lost for words.

0:13:170:13:19

It's day two in windy Norfolk.

0:13:220:13:26

This is the only thing I have in my suitcase to wear.

0:13:260:13:30

I look ridiculous.

0:13:300:13:32

Mum and Dad dodged the fashion police to get ready for Lucy,

0:13:320:13:36

Ellie and William to lay down their own laws with the holiday rules.

0:13:360:13:39

'Hello, Anderson family.'

0:13:400:13:43

ALL: Hi, Joe.

0:13:430:13:44

'Lucy, Ellie, William I hope you're keeping Mum and Dad in check.'

0:13:440:13:48

Yeah.

0:13:480:13:49

'Mum and Dad, get ready, it's time to deliver your rules.

0:13:490:13:52

'Mum, the guys are fed up with you wimping out

0:13:520:13:54

'of holiday activities, what do you say to that?'

0:13:540:13:57

I don't think I wimp out of holiday activities.

0:13:570:14:01

You don't do anything.

0:14:010:14:03

'Sorry, Mum, that won't wash on this break.

0:14:030:14:05

'Rule number one you're not allowed to say,

0:14:050:14:08

'"I can't do it," or, "I'm scared."'

0:14:080:14:10

THEY CHUCKLE

0:14:100:14:12

-OK.

-Oh, dear.

-'Right, Dad, your turn.

0:14:120:14:14

'Lucy, Ellie and William are fed up with you

0:14:140:14:17

'tip tapping on your laptop when you're on holiday.

0:14:170:14:20

-'What's your excuse?'

-There's nothing wrong with doing

0:14:200:14:23

a little bit of work while you're away, half an hour or so.

0:14:230:14:26

'No chance, Dad, this break is a gadget free zone.

0:14:260:14:30

'Rule number two is aimed at you.'

0:14:300:14:32

-Come on.

-'You're not allowed to use your laptop on holiday.'

0:14:320:14:35

Who's come up with that rule, it's ridiculous?

0:14:350:14:39

'Finally, three little birds have told me that even on holiday

0:14:390:14:42

'the Andersons have to eat healthily.'

0:14:420:14:44

-Yes.

-'On this holiday those three are in control.

0:14:440:14:49

'So the third rule is you can't tell them what to eat.'

0:14:490:14:52

-I think that could be a bit dangerous.

-Oh, gosh.

0:14:520:14:55

-OK.

-'If either of you break these rules there will be consequences.

0:14:550:14:59

'You will have to endure an early morning fitness session

0:14:590:15:02

'run by the kids. You will do sit-ups,

0:15:020:15:05

'star jumps and running on the spot.

0:15:050:15:07

-'There will be no mercy.'

-Who picked that?

-I did.

0:15:070:15:10

'OK, I'll check back with you later to tell you

0:15:100:15:13

'how you can win that fantastic treat.

0:15:130:15:15

'In the meantime, kids, you're in charge.'

0:15:150:15:19

ALL: Bye, Joe!

0:15:190:15:21

Now they know the rules, I think they'll be wary, especially Mum.

0:15:210:15:25

I really do not want to be doing

0:15:250:15:27

the boot camp in the morning.

0:15:270:15:29

There's no time for loafing around on this break.

0:15:330:15:36

The family are off to their first activity, making bread

0:15:360:15:39

in a traditional working windmill.

0:15:390:15:41

Wow!

0:15:410:15:43

Wow, what an amazing view.

0:15:430:15:46

That's enough milling around, guys,

0:15:460:15:48

it's a time to get your hands dirty and that means a costume change.

0:15:480:15:53

Oh, looking good, William.

0:15:530:15:55

Dad doesn't know the kids have given him the silly hat.

0:15:550:15:59

THEY CHUCKLE

0:15:590:16:02

They've given me a joke hat.

0:16:020:16:03

After a quick demo from windmill owner Steve...

0:16:040:16:08

Little mouse.

0:16:080:16:09

..it's time to separate the wheat from the chaff

0:16:100:16:13

and see who can bake the best bread.

0:16:130:16:15

Now, do you remember what Steve told us? Knead the bread, girls.

0:16:150:16:20

Daddy's on a roll but the kids seem to be more interested

0:16:200:16:23

in a flour fight.

0:16:230:16:24

-Got any ideas what you might make?

-I'm making my rabbit.

0:16:310:16:34

--

-I'm making mine with massive eyes.

--

-Excellent.

0:16:340:16:37

It's not a race remember, it's the best one.

0:16:370:16:40

It's not long before they're knocking their dough into shape.

0:16:400:16:44

-OK, I've finished.

-OK.

0:16:440:16:47

-What is it?

-A heart with some sultanas in it.

0:16:470:16:50

What on earth is that, William?

0:16:500:16:52

It looks a bit like a stingray if you flatten down a bit.

0:16:520:16:56

--

-It's not a lion any more.

--

-No, it's not.

0:16:560:16:59

All set for the oven then.

0:16:590:17:01

But who's used their loaf and come top of the class, over to Steve.

0:17:010:17:05

-The winner has to be this one.

-Yeah.

0:17:050:17:09

Yeah!

0:17:090:17:11

It's time to blow away the cobwebs and head to the next activity.

0:17:120:17:17

But as the kids are at the helm they'll decide how to get there.

0:17:170:17:20

CHILDREN RECITE:

0:17:200:17:23

Will they choose option number one, the Wash Monster,

0:17:260:17:29

a vehicle that can travel on land and sea?

0:17:290:17:32

Or will they make Mum and Dad do the hard work

0:17:320:17:34

on a pedalo. The choice is theirs.

0:17:340:17:36

-Pedalo.

-I think we should go on the monster of the deep.

0:17:360:17:40

Come on then, kids,

0:17:400:17:42

-what's your final decision?

-We'll go on the boat.

0:17:420:17:44

The Wash Monster was really fun, especially having it to ourselves.

0:17:530:17:56

The sun's out, it's really quite warm.

0:17:560:17:58

I'm looking forward to the rest of the family break.

0:17:580:18:01

Careful what you say, Mum, you don't know what's coming next.

0:18:010:18:05

-Mum and Dad, we're going windsurfing.

-Oh...

0:18:060:18:11

I'm a bit concerned. I'm not sure how it'll go but we'll give it a go

0:18:110:18:14

and see what happens.

0:18:140:18:16

I don't want to break one of those rules so, yeah, I'm up for it.

0:18:160:18:21

You don't sound too convinced, Mum.

0:18:210:18:24

First things first. Windsurfing instructor Dave

0:18:240:18:26

wants to test their balance.

0:18:260:18:28

To get on the boards. Just put a hand over the centre line,

0:18:280:18:31

just hop up on your knees and then you can stand up from there.

0:18:310:18:35

All they have to do is stand on the board

0:18:350:18:37

and with the wind unusually light it means the sea is nice and calm.

0:18:370:18:41

This should be a piece of cake.

0:18:410:18:42

Where's the centre line.

0:18:460:18:48

My mum's not doing very good, neither is Dad.

0:18:520:18:55

It's really fun but it's difficult.

0:18:550:18:57

I have fallen in a few times.

0:18:570:18:59

So it's a little bit cold and the hair's getting a little bit wet.

0:18:590:19:04

They're clearly struggling to balance, maybe they'll do better

0:19:040:19:07

holding onto something, like a sail for instance.

0:19:070:19:10

Grab the mast with both hands, keep your arms nice and straight. OK?

0:19:100:19:14

Just straighten your front arm out,

0:19:140:19:16

your right arm. That's good.

0:19:160:19:18

The lack of wind means even Mum and Dad get to stand up on the board

0:19:180:19:23

but the kids have decided to make their own entertainment.

0:19:230:19:28

Meanwhile, Dad's caught the windsurfing bug.

0:19:370:19:40

The windsurfing is absolutely fan...tastic.

0:19:400:19:44

Despite the fact that there is actually no wind at all,

0:19:440:19:47

Guy's really enjoying windsurfing. I'm quite surprised actually.

0:19:470:19:51

We'll do it again.

0:19:510:19:52

It's been fantastic, really has been great fun.

0:19:520:19:55

It's day three in Norfolk and all is quiet. Well, almost.

0:19:590:20:04

-Are you ready for the third activity?

-I am ready.

0:20:040:20:09

Steady on dad, you need to have breakfast first! And with the kids

0:20:090:20:13

allowed to eat and drink whatever they like,

0:20:130:20:15

all that Mum and Dad can do is fish for information.

0:20:150:20:19

So, can you give us any clues, Ellie, what's happening today?

0:20:190:20:23

Lucy, any clues. William, I know you'll give us a clue.

0:20:230:20:27

They're not saying. I think we'll have to wait,

0:20:270:20:29

-won't we?

-I think we are.

0:20:290:20:31

-They don't have to wait long to find out what's going on.

-Mum and Dad,

0:20:310:20:35

you might get a bit muddy

0:20:350:20:36

-and a bit dirty because we're going...

-ALL: ..crabbing!

0:20:360:20:39

Oh, lovely.

0:20:390:20:40

I'm not so sure about that.

0:20:400:20:42

Mmm, chance for a rule break.

0:20:420:20:45

-Are you scared?

-I'm not scared, William.

0:20:450:20:47

Nice dodge, Mum. Now it's time

0:20:470:20:49

to catch up with Rob, a top local crabbing guide.

0:20:490:20:52

Because they'll be fishing near deep water

0:20:520:20:54

-he kits them out with lifejackets.

-You can still breathe all right?

0:20:540:20:58

--

-Yeah.

--

-Yeah? Cool.

0:20:580:20:59

OK, guys, so crabbing's pretty easy, it's pretty simple.

0:20:590:21:02

All you need is a net, a crab line, a bucket and some bait.

0:21:020:21:07

This bait's already on the line. We've got some raw bacon,

0:21:070:21:09

crabs love raw bacon.

0:21:090:21:11

All you need to do is lower your bait down into the water

0:21:110:21:15

and all you have to do once you've got something,

0:21:150:21:18

is bring it up nice and slow.

0:21:180:21:21

Get a net ready because once it comes out of the water,

0:21:210:21:24

the game's up it's caught. Then all you do is flop him into your bucket.

0:21:240:21:29

And that is basically how you catch crabs.

0:21:290:21:31

It's a competition to see who can catch

0:21:310:21:33

the most crabs so there's no time to lose.

0:21:330:21:36

-I have one.

-Oh, well done, Ellie.

-Ellie gets off to a flying start.

0:21:360:21:41

And mum's hot on her heels.

0:21:440:21:46

Oh! Look at that one. I'm really, really

0:21:460:21:51

pleased with myself.

0:21:510:21:52

Just caught my first crab and it was really big.

0:21:520:21:55

Dad manages to get out of the starting blocks, but only just.

0:21:550:21:58

I think that counts. That'll do for the first one. One on the board.

0:21:590:22:03

-Got two.

-Oh, just showing off. Two in one go(!) You're welcome.

0:22:030:22:08

Crabbing's really fun and I've caught six so far.

0:22:080:22:11

I think there's a few biting, so you'll have to excuse me.

0:22:110:22:14

--

-I caught one. - Well, done William.

0:22:140:22:16

Oh, William's got a great one.

0:22:160:22:18

It feels great to catch my first crab.

0:22:180:22:21

And with William finally on the scoreboard

0:22:210:22:23

it's just down to Lucy to reel one in.

0:22:230:22:26

Got it.

0:22:260:22:27

Let's have a look, Luce. Great one.

0:22:270:22:29

It feels good because at least I can go home and say I've got one crab.

0:22:290:22:34

What's this?! A crab's escaped from Ellie's bucket

0:22:340:22:37

and Mum's claiming it as her own.

0:22:370:22:39

Shhh.

0:22:390:22:41

That's a bit shellfish, Mum!

0:22:410:22:44

Nets out, lines up, that's it, the time is up,

0:22:440:22:47

the crabbing competition is complete.

0:22:470:22:49

It's time to look at the scores on the board so follow me this way.

0:22:490:22:53

But Mum's cheeky crab catching hasn't gone unnoticed.

0:22:530:22:56

I'm afraid, Mum, you are disqualified

0:22:560:22:59

for your crabbing antics.

0:22:590:23:01

Ellie, you are clearly the winner with your massive...

0:23:010:23:05

CHEERING

0:23:050:23:07

It's time to release the crabs back into the wild.

0:23:070:23:10

I actually think it's a little bit harsh that I was disqualified

0:23:120:23:15

but I guess I have to just hang my head in shame.

0:23:150:23:18

Mum, where do you think you're going?

0:23:180:23:21

Camp site maybe.

0:23:210:23:22

I don't think it'll be the luxury we've had

0:23:220:23:25

-the last few days.

-I can see a windmill.

0:23:250:23:27

I can't.

0:23:270:23:29

The other day we made bread

0:23:290:23:32

in a windmill. Well tonight, we're staying in one.

0:23:320:23:35

-Oh, wow.

-Fantastic.

-We're actually staying in there?

0:23:350:23:38

-Yeah.

-Oh, fantastic!

0:23:380:23:40

-Woah!

-Hey, look,

0:23:400:23:43

we're in a...round room.

0:23:430:23:46

-Yes, we are!

-We are in a...round room.

0:23:460:23:49

Bagsy this bed.

0:23:490:23:51

The room's really cool

0:23:510:23:53

-and I'm really glad that I got the big bed.

-You didn't.

-I did.

0:23:530:23:58

Oh, nice to have a bit of relax isn't it?

0:23:580:24:01

-I wonder where the kids are?

-Oh, I don't know.

0:24:010:24:04

No time for lying around, Mum and Dad, it's time for the banquet.

0:24:040:24:08

Hello there, here's your Gimme A Break menu.

0:24:080:24:11

Usually the kids have to stick to a healthy diet

0:24:110:24:13

but tonight they have control of the kitchen.

0:24:130:24:17

What should we have?

0:24:170:24:18

Posh burger and chips.

0:24:180:24:19

One side of the menu is naughty and the other side is healthy.

0:24:190:24:24

CHILDREN CHATTER

0:24:240:24:26

What will they pick for Mum and Dad? Naughty? Healthy? Healthy? Naughty?

0:24:260:24:30

So, what have you guys decided that Mum and Dad are going to have?

0:24:300:24:33

Dad's going to have the chicken curry and rice.

0:24:330:24:36

Fantastic. Thank you, children, that's a great choice.

0:24:360:24:39

And Mum's going to have the chicken and vegetable.

0:24:390:24:42

-Great.

-Sounds good.

-That's nice.

0:24:420:24:44

They sound pleased but will the choices tickle their taste buds.

0:24:440:24:48

-Great choice. Well done.

-Was yours from the healthy option, William?

0:24:480:24:52

I don't think it was. The only one with the healthy option here is...

0:24:520:24:56

-Mum.

-..Mum.

-It's really good. Would anyone like to try some?

0:24:560:24:59

--

-William, have some, it's healthy.

--

-In your dreams.

0:24:590:25:04

But there's no healthy option when it comes to the surprise dessert.

0:25:040:25:08

Oh, look at that!

0:25:080:25:09

-Oh, look at that!

-I hope you're hungry.

0:25:090:25:14

How delicious is that?

0:25:150:25:17

Oh, look at these.

0:25:170:25:19

Cool!

0:25:190:25:20

LAUGHTER

0:25:200:25:22

That has got to be the nicest cake we've ever had.

0:25:240:25:29

Mm!

0:25:290:25:30

I'm nearly full.

0:25:300:25:31

You've got the rest of the windmill to eat.

0:25:310:25:34

It's one of the best cakes I've ever had. It's so yummy and delicious.

0:25:340:25:39

It's just like heaven.

0:25:390:25:41

I've never seen a cake like this.

0:25:460:25:48

Not only does it look great, it tastes even better than it looks.

0:25:480:25:52

It is one phenomenal cake.

0:25:520:25:55

POPPING

0:25:550:25:56

The Andersons' windy break in Norfolk is drawing to a close.

0:26:030:26:06

But they have the chance to win a fantastic souvenir,

0:26:060:26:10

their very own personalised Gimme A Break kites.

0:26:100:26:13

'OK, guys,

0:26:130:26:14

'if you get two of the following questions

0:26:140:26:16

'correct you win the kites.

0:26:160:26:18

'But if you get it wrong,

0:26:180:26:19

'Mum and Dad will bag themselves a his and her set.

0:26:190:26:22

-'Are you ready for the first question?'

-ALL: Yeah.

0:26:220:26:26

'Which activity was a surprise hit with Mum, was it:'

0:26:260:26:29

I think bread-making.

0:26:330:26:35

No, windsurfing, because she said,

0:26:350:26:37

"I was really surprised how much I enjoyed that."

0:26:370:26:40

I think windsurfing because she did...

0:26:400:26:43

-Windsurfing.

-No.

-Windsurfing.

0:26:430:26:46

It was Dad who was surprised.

0:26:460:26:48

'Can I have the answer, please?'

0:26:480:26:50

We think it's A, windsurfing.

0:26:500:26:52

'OK, you said A, windsurfing.

0:26:520:26:55

'Here's what your mum said.'

0:26:550:26:57

'I'm surprised how much I enjoyed the windsurfing activity.'

0:26:570:27:00

ALL: Yeah.

0:27:000:27:02

'Well, done.'

0:27:020:27:04

'If you get the next one right, those kites are all yours.

0:27:040:27:08

-'Are you ready for question number two?'

-Yeah.

0:27:080:27:10

'What annoyed Dad most about this break? Was it:'

0:27:100:27:13

-Kids' packing.

-Kids' packing.

-Yeah.

0:27:180:27:21

-'You're going with B, the kids' packing?'

-Yeah.

0:27:210:27:23

'Here's what your dad said.'

0:27:230:27:25

The thing that annoyed me most on the break was the kids' packing.

0:27:250:27:30

ALL: Yeah!

0:27:300:27:31

'Congratulations, guys, you have won, the kites are yours.'

0:27:310:27:36

The break in Norfolk was a fantastic experience for the whole family,

0:27:380:27:42

it's been great.

0:27:420:27:43

I think Mum and Dad are quite looking forward to going home

0:27:440:27:47

as they get to be in charge again.

0:27:470:27:49

It's been a fantastic time spending time with the family.

0:27:490:27:53

If I could sum up my break in three words

0:27:530:27:55

it would be fun, exciting and adventurous.
