Good morning, campers. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:23 | |
Do your family holidays ever turn into a boring washout | 0:00:23 | 0:00:27 | |
that leaves you feeling cold? | 0:00:27 | 0:00:28 | |
If so, it's time to unzip a whole new world. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:32 | |
This is Gimme A Break the show that lets you take charge. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:35 | |
On Gimme A Break it's the kids that decide where to go and what to do. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:40 | |
Parents don't get a look-in | 0:00:40 | 0:00:43 | |
especially when it comes to the holiday rules. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:45 | |
Breaking the rules can only lead to one thing, trouble. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:50 | |
Today I'm in Cheshire and it's time to meet our lucky family. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:54 | |
Meet the Andersons. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:57 | |
Making up this family of fun are 12-year-old hockey star, Lucy, | 0:00:57 | 0:01:00 | |
ten-year-old street dancer, Ellie, | 0:01:00 | 0:01:03 | |
and nine-year-old karate kid William. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:05 | |
Plus there's hill walker dad | 0:01:05 | 0:01:08 | |
and magazine queen mum. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:11 | |
So, why do Lucy, Ellie and William deserve to be given a break? | 0:01:11 | 0:01:16 | |
To sum our holiday up in three words it would be boring, boring, boring. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:20 | |
Mum and dad's idea of a perfect holiday | 0:01:20 | 0:01:22 | |
would just be like lying around and doing nothing all day. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:26 | |
We want to do activities and mum and dad just say entertain yourselves. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:32 | |
We do a lot of very exciting things. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:35 | |
We sit round the pool, we go for a swim in the pool. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
We sit on the beach and occasionally go for a swim in the sea. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:43 | |
Mum doesn't like getting in the pool. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
If I'm totally honest, I'd actually rather be laying... | 0:01:46 | 0:01:49 | |
on my sun lounger on the sand rather than actually be in the water. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:54 | |
-WILLIAM: -She always says, "I'm scared and don't want to do it." | 0:01:54 | 0:01:57 | |
I certainly don't like getting my hair wet. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:00 | |
The one thing I always take away | 0:02:00 | 0:02:01 | |
on holiday with me is my laptop just so I can check up on emails. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:07 | |
He says it'll take about five minutes | 0:02:07 | 0:02:08 | |
but it always takes half an hour. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:10 | |
Mum always makes us eat vegetables with every single meal. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:15 | |
We do allow them the occasional ice cream, | 0:02:15 | 0:02:18 | |
if they've been good | 0:02:18 | 0:02:20 | |
but we always make... and they enjoy the fruit. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:24 | |
Lucy and Ellie will occasionally have some vegetables. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:27 | |
I'm really excited about this break because we'll be in control. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:31 | |
Right, it seems that this lot think that you're too boring on holiday, | 0:02:33 | 0:02:37 | |
you do too much sunbathing and not enough exciting stuff, am I right? | 0:02:37 | 0:02:41 | |
-KIDS: Yeah. -Is that what they are like on holiday? -Yeah. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:44 | |
-Mum and Dad, what have you got to say? -It's just not the case. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
-Are they telling the truth? -No. -Are they boring on holiday? -Yeah. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:52 | |
Mum and Dad it's that time in the show | 0:02:52 | 0:02:54 | |
that makes parents' hair stand on end. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:56 | |
It's the Gimme A Break Parents' Promise. | 0:02:56 | 0:02:58 | |
-So please read that out to us. -MUM AND DAD: "We the parents..." | 0:02:58 | 0:03:01 | |
"..hand over control of the next family break." | 0:03:05 | 0:03:09 | |
How does that feel? Does that feel good? | 0:03:09 | 0:03:12 | |
-Yeah. -Are you excited? -Yeah. -Do you feel powerful and strong? -Yeah. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
Mum and Dad, a little bit scared, a little bit vulnerable maybe? | 0:03:15 | 0:03:18 | |
A little vulnerable. We've got lovely children | 0:03:18 | 0:03:20 | |
I'm sure they'll look after us. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:22 | |
Shall we go and talk about our breaks? | 0:03:22 | 0:03:24 | |
-Yeah! -Let's get out of here, come on. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:26 | |
What is it you want from a break? | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
Quad biking, water sports and stuff like that. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:32 | |
-A bit of adventure. -Yeah. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:34 | |
What would you like from your holiday? | 0:03:34 | 0:03:36 | |
Like just adrenaline fun, non-stop action, water sports. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:41 | |
Lucy what do you want from your break? | 0:03:41 | 0:03:44 | |
Just something we haven't done before. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:46 | |
So, you're all looking for new experiences, fun, | 0:03:46 | 0:03:49 | |
excitement, adventure. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:51 | |
I've got enough there to get on with so I'm going to go away | 0:03:51 | 0:03:53 | |
and I'll come up with two fantastic breaks | 0:03:53 | 0:03:56 | |
-for you to decide from, yeah? -Yeah. | 0:03:56 | 0:03:58 | |
Give me five, guys. Catch you later. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:00 | |
I've lined up two amazing breaks. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:05 | |
Before they can choose, they need to guess what they're in for | 0:04:05 | 0:04:08 | |
by solving a bunch of crazy clues. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:11 | |
It's a windbreaker so it could near the beach. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:16 | |
A beach, that's not really narrowing down is it? | 0:04:16 | 0:04:19 | |
-Hey look "sit here". -OK. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:21 | |
PHRRRTTT! | 0:04:21 | 0:04:23 | |
A fart holiday? | 0:04:23 | 0:04:26 | |
It was smelly so we thought maybe smelly cheese from maybe France. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:31 | |
Ooh-la-la, Ellie, | 0:04:31 | 0:04:33 | |
you've been blown off course with that wind themed clue. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:36 | |
-Got to stand here. -Can you do any better with this one? | 0:04:36 | 0:04:40 | |
The board could be something to do with surfing or body boarding. | 0:04:42 | 0:04:47 | |
There's more to it than that, William. These clues | 0:04:47 | 0:04:49 | |
are proving to be anything but a breeze. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:52 | |
-Get it. -Let's catch it! | 0:04:52 | 0:04:55 | |
I think it might be fishing or snorkelling because of the crab. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:07 | |
Almost, Lucy, | 0:05:07 | 0:05:09 | |
it's fishing for crabs, otherwise known as crabbing. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:12 | |
Time to give it some wellie with break number two. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:15 | |
Throw to the tree and follow your first clue. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:18 | |
-Three, two, one... -ALL: ..go! | 0:05:18 | 0:05:20 | |
BAGPIPES PLAY | 0:05:20 | 0:05:22 | |
-Game. -Snakes and ladders. -And it says "land". | 0:05:22 | 0:05:24 | |
It could be a puzzle holiday. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:26 | |
Puzzle holiday, that sounds fun. | 0:05:26 | 0:05:29 | |
Think land and games high up, any idea? | 0:05:29 | 0:05:32 | |
Farmland? | 0:05:33 | 0:05:34 | |
Try higher...land | 0:05:34 | 0:05:36 | |
games. | 0:05:36 | 0:05:37 | |
BAGPIPES PLAY | 0:05:37 | 0:05:41 | |
ALL: "There are two clues | 0:05:41 | 0:05:42 | |
"hidden in this field. Hunt, search and keep your eyes peeled." | 0:05:42 | 0:05:48 | |
-E... -Gold eagle. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:55 | |
Seagulls are usually found on the beach. | 0:05:57 | 0:06:01 | |
It could be like E, | 0:06:01 | 0:06:02 | |
with the letter, | 0:06:02 | 0:06:03 | |
and the sea gull and you could take out gull so, eagle. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:06 | |
Hang on a second, | 0:06:06 | 0:06:07 | |
isn't that what William just said? I think you've cracked the clue. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:11 | |
Now it's the final one for this break. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:13 | |
-It's got... -It says, "Build me." | 0:06:14 | 0:06:18 | |
It's a miracle. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:26 | |
White water rafting. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:28 | |
Well, done Lucy, you've got the right idea. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:31 | |
Time to find out where the two breaks are. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:33 | |
I can feel the tension is building. | 0:06:36 | 0:06:38 | |
-What is break number one? -Near a beach. -Near a beach. | 0:06:38 | 0:06:43 | |
-There was one clue you didn't quite understand did you? -No. | 0:06:43 | 0:06:47 | |
There you stick that on. | 0:06:47 | 0:06:48 | |
Beautiful you look like one of your sisters. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:51 | |
Fan blowing against your hair because your hair is windswept. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:55 | |
The final clue was this - | 0:06:55 | 0:06:58 | |
a surf board, windsurfing. See? | 0:06:58 | 0:07:01 | |
Let me take that off your head. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:03 | |
I can tell you that holiday number one is a windy break in Norfolk. | 0:07:03 | 0:07:07 | |
-Ready to see it? -Yeah. | 0:07:07 | 0:07:09 | |
On this fun packed breezy break you'll have no time | 0:07:09 | 0:07:13 | |
for sunbathing or lazing around. You'll learn how to windsurf, | 0:07:13 | 0:07:17 | |
try your hand at a spot of crabbing, | 0:07:17 | 0:07:20 | |
you'll rise to the challenge when making your own bread | 0:07:20 | 0:07:23 | |
and you'll get to chill out and stay in an amazing windmill hotel. Guys, | 0:07:23 | 0:07:29 | |
-what about break number one? -That looked good. -It looked good? -Yeah. | 0:07:29 | 0:07:33 | |
-Something you're interested in? -Yes. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:35 | |
-What do you Mum'll make of wind surfing. -She'll be terrible at it. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:38 | |
-Terrible. You think she'll be no good? -No. -So, | 0:07:38 | 0:07:41 | |
break number two what do you think that could be? | 0:07:41 | 0:07:43 | |
I thought it might be in Scotland because there was like an army coat | 0:07:43 | 0:07:48 | |
and a Scottish hat and binoculars. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:50 | |
OK. I can tell you break number two is hills and thrills | 0:07:50 | 0:07:54 | |
in the Highlands of Scotland. | 0:07:54 | 0:07:57 | |
-Cool. -Does that sound amazing? Shall we have a little look? -Yeah. | 0:07:57 | 0:08:01 | |
With this break you'll head into the great outdoors | 0:08:02 | 0:08:04 | |
for a stunning Scottish adventure. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:06 | |
You'll get the adrenaline pumping when you have a go | 0:08:06 | 0:08:09 | |
at white water rafting. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:11 | |
You'll be going off road | 0:08:11 | 0:08:13 | |
to spot golden eagles on a 4 x 4 highland safari | 0:08:13 | 0:08:17 | |
and you'll give boredom the heave-ho when you try some Highland games. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:20 | |
So, that was break number two, what do you think? | 0:08:22 | 0:08:25 | |
-Cool. -Did it look good? -Yeah. -Exciting, fun? -Yeah. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:30 | |
You guys must decide what break you want to go on. | 0:08:30 | 0:08:32 | |
I've got to go because I've got some really urgent business to attend to. | 0:08:32 | 0:08:36 | |
-When I come back, tell me what you've chosen. -Yeah. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:39 | |
Right, see you in a little while. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:41 | |
I think we should go to Norfolk. | 0:08:44 | 0:08:46 | |
I know. But staying in a windmill? | 0:08:46 | 0:08:48 | |
Yeah, don't you want to do that? | 0:08:48 | 0:08:49 | |
And Swash is round one! He's round two! | 0:08:49 | 0:08:52 | |
He sees a goal! Yeah! | 0:08:52 | 0:08:55 | |
Well, what things do you want to do in Scotland? | 0:08:55 | 0:08:57 | |
The white water rafting. | 0:08:57 | 0:08:59 | |
He's done it! He's won it for England. | 0:08:59 | 0:09:02 | |
-So, we've made a decision. -Yeah. -Yeah. -OK. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:05 | |
Yes! | 0:09:05 | 0:09:07 | |
Well, glad I got that work out of the way. | 0:09:07 | 0:09:11 | |
-Have you come to a decision? -Yeah. | 0:09:11 | 0:09:13 | |
-What is it? -Break number one. | 0:09:13 | 0:09:16 | |
The windy break to Norfolk. | 0:09:16 | 0:09:17 | |
What made you pick number one? | 0:09:17 | 0:09:20 | |
-The windsurfing. -What about you, Will? -The windsurfing. | 0:09:20 | 0:09:23 | |
-The windsurfing as well. Are you happy? -Yeah. -Ready? | 0:09:23 | 0:09:26 | |
Booked. | 0:09:27 | 0:09:29 | |
I'll check in with you during your break to Norfolk | 0:09:29 | 0:09:32 | |
and tell you how you can win one final treat. | 0:09:32 | 0:09:35 | |
If you answer incorrectly | 0:09:35 | 0:09:37 | |
and you mess up, then Mum and Dad are going to get the treat. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:40 | |
Now, don't tell Mum and Dad about anything this is top secret. | 0:09:40 | 0:09:44 | |
-What is it? -Top secret. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:48 | |
So, Lucy, Ellie and William | 0:09:48 | 0:09:49 | |
are over the moon with the idea of a breezy break in Norfolk | 0:09:49 | 0:09:52 | |
but what will Mum and Dad | 0:09:52 | 0:09:54 | |
make of a fun-packed holiday | 0:09:54 | 0:09:57 | |
with no chance of sunbathing by the pool? | 0:09:57 | 0:09:59 | |
And who will bag the final souvenir? | 0:09:59 | 0:10:04 | |
The kids are wearing the trousers on this break | 0:10:08 | 0:10:10 | |
and everything is up to them including what Mum and Dad wear. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:13 | |
If the children pack for themselves it would be an absolute disaster. | 0:10:13 | 0:10:19 | |
This would come in handy. | 0:10:19 | 0:10:21 | |
Massive! | 0:10:21 | 0:10:23 | |
They have no commonsense whatsoever. | 0:10:23 | 0:10:26 | |
Urgh. These are horrible. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:29 | |
This is disgusting. | 0:10:29 | 0:10:31 | |
I think somewhere lurking in my wardrobe | 0:10:31 | 0:10:33 | |
I've got a pair of leather trousers that I used to wear. | 0:10:33 | 0:10:37 | |
These will keep the wind off. | 0:10:37 | 0:10:39 | |
The worse case scenario for me | 0:10:39 | 0:10:41 | |
would be if they packed any of my golfing gear. | 0:10:41 | 0:10:44 | |
-What about Dad's 1980's golf trousers. -Oh, yeah. | 0:10:44 | 0:10:48 | |
I've a feeling they might just be all thrown into the suitcase | 0:10:48 | 0:10:52 | |
and I'm going to end up with a big crumpled mess. | 0:10:52 | 0:10:56 | |
ALL: Yes! | 0:11:02 | 0:11:03 | |
The kids have their very own Gimme A Break fam cam | 0:11:05 | 0:11:08 | |
and they're already calling the shots. | 0:11:08 | 0:11:11 | |
About to wake up Mum and Dad and it's the morning of the break. | 0:11:11 | 0:11:15 | |
Morning. Morning, Mum. | 0:11:15 | 0:11:18 | |
Once Mum and Dad are out of bed, time to reveal where they are going. | 0:11:18 | 0:11:21 | |
-ALL: Special delivery. -What's all this then? | 0:11:21 | 0:11:25 | |
ALL: Three, two, one. | 0:11:26 | 0:11:28 | |
Windy...break... | 0:11:29 | 0:11:31 | |
-Norfolk. -Norfolk! | 0:11:31 | 0:11:32 | |
Fantastic. I give the kids ten out of ten. | 0:11:32 | 0:11:36 | |
I know the children know we like to relax when we go away | 0:11:36 | 0:11:39 | |
so I would hope | 0:11:39 | 0:11:40 | |
that we are not doing anything that involves any strenuous exercise. | 0:11:40 | 0:11:44 | |
Good luck with that one, Dad, I think the kids have got other ideas. | 0:11:44 | 0:11:48 | |
But, there's no time to hang around, it's off to the station. | 0:11:48 | 0:11:51 | |
The family have a four hour train journey ahead of them | 0:11:51 | 0:11:54 | |
to get from Cheshire to Norfolk in the east of England. | 0:11:54 | 0:11:58 | |
Miles of sandy beaches and flat countryside | 0:12:01 | 0:12:03 | |
make Norfolk a top spot for wind-based activities. | 0:12:03 | 0:12:06 | |
And when the Andersons arrive, the wind is definitely blowing. | 0:12:06 | 0:12:10 | |
Time to check out their luxury hotel. | 0:12:10 | 0:12:13 | |
-Wow, look at this. -It's a bit nice, isn't it? | 0:12:13 | 0:12:17 | |
-Mum and Dad seem chuffed with the hotel. -Who's sleeping where? | 0:12:17 | 0:12:20 | |
But what will they make of the kids packing pranks. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:24 | |
For goodness' sake! I thought you said you'd packed it neatly. | 0:12:27 | 0:12:30 | |
-< -Your pink tie. | 0:12:30 | 0:12:32 | |
Any particular reason why you've brought this. | 0:12:32 | 0:12:36 | |
You might need it. | 0:12:36 | 0:12:38 | |
Oh, a dinner party? | 0:12:38 | 0:12:39 | |
-Oh, come on. -Oh, dear. | 0:12:39 | 0:12:42 | |
Who has put these in the case? Me. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:45 | |
These trousers have not been worn for ten years. | 0:12:45 | 0:12:48 | |
Oh, no. | 0:12:48 | 0:12:50 | |
How did you find these? Between you and me, guys, | 0:12:50 | 0:12:53 | |
I think the fashion police just might be after us. | 0:12:53 | 0:12:56 | |
-What have you actually packed for me to wear? -Oh, a pair of shorts. | 0:12:56 | 0:12:59 | |
And a T-shirt. | 0:12:59 | 0:13:01 | |
A pair of shorts and a T-shirt | 0:13:01 | 0:13:04 | |
and my suit jacket and seven ties. | 0:13:04 | 0:13:08 | |
The mark out of ten | 0:13:08 | 0:13:09 | |
I would give the children for their packing is a big fat zero. | 0:13:09 | 0:13:13 | |
I think Dad's reaction was really mean and unfair | 0:13:13 | 0:13:15 | |
because we did a pretty good job. | 0:13:15 | 0:13:17 | |
It's amazing, I'm lost for words. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:19 | |
It's day two in windy Norfolk. | 0:13:22 | 0:13:26 | |
This is the only thing I have in my suitcase to wear. | 0:13:26 | 0:13:30 | |
I look ridiculous. | 0:13:30 | 0:13:32 | |
Mum and Dad dodged the fashion police to get ready for Lucy, | 0:13:32 | 0:13:36 | |
Ellie and William to lay down their own laws with the holiday rules. | 0:13:36 | 0:13:39 | |
'Hello, Anderson family.' | 0:13:40 | 0:13:43 | |
ALL: Hi, Joe. | 0:13:43 | 0:13:44 | |
'Lucy, Ellie, William I hope you're keeping Mum and Dad in check.' | 0:13:44 | 0:13:48 | |
Yeah. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:49 | |
'Mum and Dad, get ready, it's time to deliver your rules. | 0:13:49 | 0:13:52 | |
'Mum, the guys are fed up with you wimping out | 0:13:52 | 0:13:54 | |
'of holiday activities, what do you say to that?' | 0:13:54 | 0:13:57 | |
I don't think I wimp out of holiday activities. | 0:13:57 | 0:14:01 | |
You don't do anything. | 0:14:01 | 0:14:03 | |
'Sorry, Mum, that won't wash on this break. | 0:14:03 | 0:14:05 | |
'Rule number one you're not allowed to say, | 0:14:05 | 0:14:08 | |
'"I can't do it," or, "I'm scared."' | 0:14:08 | 0:14:10 | |
THEY CHUCKLE | 0:14:10 | 0:14:12 | |
-OK. -Oh, dear. -'Right, Dad, your turn. | 0:14:12 | 0:14:14 | |
'Lucy, Ellie and William are fed up with you | 0:14:14 | 0:14:17 | |
'tip tapping on your laptop when you're on holiday. | 0:14:17 | 0:14:20 | |
-'What's your excuse?' -There's nothing wrong with doing | 0:14:20 | 0:14:23 | |
a little bit of work while you're away, half an hour or so. | 0:14:23 | 0:14:26 | |
'No chance, Dad, this break is a gadget free zone. | 0:14:26 | 0:14:30 | |
'Rule number two is aimed at you.' | 0:14:30 | 0:14:32 | |
-Come on. -'You're not allowed to use your laptop on holiday.' | 0:14:32 | 0:14:35 | |
Who's come up with that rule, it's ridiculous? | 0:14:35 | 0:14:39 | |
'Finally, three little birds have told me that even on holiday | 0:14:39 | 0:14:42 | |
'the Andersons have to eat healthily.' | 0:14:42 | 0:14:44 | |
-Yes. -'On this holiday those three are in control. | 0:14:44 | 0:14:49 | |
'So the third rule is you can't tell them what to eat.' | 0:14:49 | 0:14:52 | |
-I think that could be a bit dangerous. -Oh, gosh. | 0:14:52 | 0:14:55 | |
-OK. -'If either of you break these rules there will be consequences. | 0:14:55 | 0:14:59 | |
'You will have to endure an early morning fitness session | 0:14:59 | 0:15:02 | |
'run by the kids. You will do sit-ups, | 0:15:02 | 0:15:05 | |
'star jumps and running on the spot. | 0:15:05 | 0:15:07 | |
-'There will be no mercy.' -Who picked that? -I did. | 0:15:07 | 0:15:10 | |
'OK, I'll check back with you later to tell you | 0:15:10 | 0:15:13 | |
'how you can win that fantastic treat. | 0:15:13 | 0:15:15 | |
'In the meantime, kids, you're in charge.' | 0:15:15 | 0:15:19 | |
ALL: Bye, Joe! | 0:15:19 | 0:15:21 | |
Now they know the rules, I think they'll be wary, especially Mum. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:25 | |
I really do not want to be doing | 0:15:25 | 0:15:27 | |
the boot camp in the morning. | 0:15:27 | 0:15:29 | |
There's no time for loafing around on this break. | 0:15:33 | 0:15:36 | |
The family are off to their first activity, making bread | 0:15:36 | 0:15:39 | |
in a traditional working windmill. | 0:15:39 | 0:15:41 | |
Wow! | 0:15:41 | 0:15:43 | |
Wow, what an amazing view. | 0:15:43 | 0:15:46 | |
That's enough milling around, guys, | 0:15:46 | 0:15:48 | |
it's a time to get your hands dirty and that means a costume change. | 0:15:48 | 0:15:53 | |
Oh, looking good, William. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:55 | |
Dad doesn't know the kids have given him the silly hat. | 0:15:55 | 0:15:59 | |
THEY CHUCKLE | 0:15:59 | 0:16:02 | |
They've given me a joke hat. | 0:16:02 | 0:16:03 | |
After a quick demo from windmill owner Steve... | 0:16:04 | 0:16:08 | |
Little mouse. | 0:16:08 | 0:16:09 | |
..it's time to separate the wheat from the chaff | 0:16:10 | 0:16:13 | |
and see who can bake the best bread. | 0:16:13 | 0:16:15 | |
Now, do you remember what Steve told us? Knead the bread, girls. | 0:16:15 | 0:16:20 | |
Daddy's on a roll but the kids seem to be more interested | 0:16:20 | 0:16:23 | |
in a flour fight. | 0:16:23 | 0:16:24 | |
-Got any ideas what you might make? -I'm making my rabbit. | 0:16:31 | 0:16:34 | |
-- -I'm making mine with massive eyes. -- -Excellent. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:37 | |
It's not a race remember, it's the best one. | 0:16:37 | 0:16:40 | |
It's not long before they're knocking their dough into shape. | 0:16:40 | 0:16:44 | |
-OK, I've finished. -OK. | 0:16:44 | 0:16:47 | |
-What is it? -A heart with some sultanas in it. | 0:16:47 | 0:16:50 | |
What on earth is that, William? | 0:16:50 | 0:16:52 | |
It looks a bit like a stingray if you flatten down a bit. | 0:16:52 | 0:16:56 | |
-- -It's not a lion any more. -- -No, it's not. | 0:16:56 | 0:16:59 | |
All set for the oven then. | 0:16:59 | 0:17:01 | |
But who's used their loaf and come top of the class, over to Steve. | 0:17:01 | 0:17:05 | |
-The winner has to be this one. -Yeah. | 0:17:05 | 0:17:09 | |
Yeah! | 0:17:09 | 0:17:11 | |
It's time to blow away the cobwebs and head to the next activity. | 0:17:12 | 0:17:17 | |
But as the kids are at the helm they'll decide how to get there. | 0:17:17 | 0:17:20 | |
CHILDREN RECITE: | 0:17:20 | 0:17:23 | |
Will they choose option number one, the Wash Monster, | 0:17:26 | 0:17:29 | |
a vehicle that can travel on land and sea? | 0:17:29 | 0:17:32 | |
Or will they make Mum and Dad do the hard work | 0:17:32 | 0:17:34 | |
on a pedalo. The choice is theirs. | 0:17:34 | 0:17:36 | |
-Pedalo. -I think we should go on the monster of the deep. | 0:17:36 | 0:17:40 | |
Come on then, kids, | 0:17:40 | 0:17:42 | |
-what's your final decision? -We'll go on the boat. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:44 | |
The Wash Monster was really fun, especially having it to ourselves. | 0:17:53 | 0:17:56 | |
The sun's out, it's really quite warm. | 0:17:56 | 0:17:58 | |
I'm looking forward to the rest of the family break. | 0:17:58 | 0:18:01 | |
Careful what you say, Mum, you don't know what's coming next. | 0:18:01 | 0:18:05 | |
-Mum and Dad, we're going windsurfing. -Oh... | 0:18:06 | 0:18:11 | |
I'm a bit concerned. I'm not sure how it'll go but we'll give it a go | 0:18:11 | 0:18:14 | |
and see what happens. | 0:18:14 | 0:18:16 | |
I don't want to break one of those rules so, yeah, I'm up for it. | 0:18:16 | 0:18:21 | |
You don't sound too convinced, Mum. | 0:18:21 | 0:18:24 | |
First things first. Windsurfing instructor Dave | 0:18:24 | 0:18:26 | |
wants to test their balance. | 0:18:26 | 0:18:28 | |
To get on the boards. Just put a hand over the centre line, | 0:18:28 | 0:18:31 | |
just hop up on your knees and then you can stand up from there. | 0:18:31 | 0:18:35 | |
All they have to do is stand on the board | 0:18:35 | 0:18:37 | |
and with the wind unusually light it means the sea is nice and calm. | 0:18:37 | 0:18:41 | |
This should be a piece of cake. | 0:18:41 | 0:18:42 | |
Where's the centre line. | 0:18:46 | 0:18:48 | |
My mum's not doing very good, neither is Dad. | 0:18:52 | 0:18:55 | |
It's really fun but it's difficult. | 0:18:55 | 0:18:57 | |
I have fallen in a few times. | 0:18:57 | 0:18:59 | |
So it's a little bit cold and the hair's getting a little bit wet. | 0:18:59 | 0:19:04 | |
They're clearly struggling to balance, maybe they'll do better | 0:19:04 | 0:19:07 | |
holding onto something, like a sail for instance. | 0:19:07 | 0:19:10 | |
Grab the mast with both hands, keep your arms nice and straight. OK? | 0:19:10 | 0:19:14 | |
Just straighten your front arm out, | 0:19:14 | 0:19:16 | |
your right arm. That's good. | 0:19:16 | 0:19:18 | |
The lack of wind means even Mum and Dad get to stand up on the board | 0:19:18 | 0:19:23 | |
but the kids have decided to make their own entertainment. | 0:19:23 | 0:19:28 | |
Meanwhile, Dad's caught the windsurfing bug. | 0:19:37 | 0:19:40 | |
The windsurfing is absolutely fan...tastic. | 0:19:40 | 0:19:44 | |
Despite the fact that there is actually no wind at all, | 0:19:44 | 0:19:47 | |
Guy's really enjoying windsurfing. I'm quite surprised actually. | 0:19:47 | 0:19:51 | |
We'll do it again. | 0:19:51 | 0:19:52 | |
It's been fantastic, really has been great fun. | 0:19:52 | 0:19:55 | |
It's day three in Norfolk and all is quiet. Well, almost. | 0:19:59 | 0:20:04 | |
-Are you ready for the third activity? -I am ready. | 0:20:04 | 0:20:09 | |
Steady on dad, you need to have breakfast first! And with the kids | 0:20:09 | 0:20:13 | |
allowed to eat and drink whatever they like, | 0:20:13 | 0:20:15 | |
all that Mum and Dad can do is fish for information. | 0:20:15 | 0:20:19 | |
So, can you give us any clues, Ellie, what's happening today? | 0:20:19 | 0:20:23 | |
Lucy, any clues. William, I know you'll give us a clue. | 0:20:23 | 0:20:27 | |
They're not saying. I think we'll have to wait, | 0:20:27 | 0:20:29 | |
-won't we? -I think we are. | 0:20:29 | 0:20:31 | |
-They don't have to wait long to find out what's going on. -Mum and Dad, | 0:20:31 | 0:20:35 | |
you might get a bit muddy | 0:20:35 | 0:20:36 | |
-and a bit dirty because we're going... -ALL: ..crabbing! | 0:20:36 | 0:20:39 | |
Oh, lovely. | 0:20:39 | 0:20:40 | |
I'm not so sure about that. | 0:20:40 | 0:20:42 | |
Mmm, chance for a rule break. | 0:20:42 | 0:20:45 | |
-Are you scared? -I'm not scared, William. | 0:20:45 | 0:20:47 | |
Nice dodge, Mum. Now it's time | 0:20:47 | 0:20:49 | |
to catch up with Rob, a top local crabbing guide. | 0:20:49 | 0:20:52 | |
Because they'll be fishing near deep water | 0:20:52 | 0:20:54 | |
-he kits them out with lifejackets. -You can still breathe all right? | 0:20:54 | 0:20:58 | |
-- -Yeah. -- -Yeah? Cool. | 0:20:58 | 0:20:59 | |
OK, guys, so crabbing's pretty easy, it's pretty simple. | 0:20:59 | 0:21:02 | |
All you need is a net, a crab line, a bucket and some bait. | 0:21:02 | 0:21:07 | |
This bait's already on the line. We've got some raw bacon, | 0:21:07 | 0:21:09 | |
crabs love raw bacon. | 0:21:09 | 0:21:11 | |
All you need to do is lower your bait down into the water | 0:21:11 | 0:21:15 | |
and all you have to do once you've got something, | 0:21:15 | 0:21:18 | |
is bring it up nice and slow. | 0:21:18 | 0:21:21 | |
Get a net ready because once it comes out of the water, | 0:21:21 | 0:21:24 | |
the game's up it's caught. Then all you do is flop him into your bucket. | 0:21:24 | 0:21:29 | |
And that is basically how you catch crabs. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:31 | |
It's a competition to see who can catch | 0:21:31 | 0:21:33 | |
the most crabs so there's no time to lose. | 0:21:33 | 0:21:36 | |
-I have one. -Oh, well done, Ellie. -Ellie gets off to a flying start. | 0:21:36 | 0:21:41 | |
And mum's hot on her heels. | 0:21:44 | 0:21:46 | |
Oh! Look at that one. I'm really, really | 0:21:46 | 0:21:51 | |
pleased with myself. | 0:21:51 | 0:21:52 | |
Just caught my first crab and it was really big. | 0:21:52 | 0:21:55 | |
Dad manages to get out of the starting blocks, but only just. | 0:21:55 | 0:21:58 | |
I think that counts. That'll do for the first one. One on the board. | 0:21:59 | 0:22:03 | |
-Got two. -Oh, just showing off. Two in one go(!) You're welcome. | 0:22:03 | 0:22:08 | |
Crabbing's really fun and I've caught six so far. | 0:22:08 | 0:22:11 | |
I think there's a few biting, so you'll have to excuse me. | 0:22:11 | 0:22:14 | |
-- -I caught one. - Well, done William. | 0:22:14 | 0:22:16 | |
Oh, William's got a great one. | 0:22:16 | 0:22:18 | |
It feels great to catch my first crab. | 0:22:18 | 0:22:21 | |
And with William finally on the scoreboard | 0:22:21 | 0:22:23 | |
it's just down to Lucy to reel one in. | 0:22:23 | 0:22:26 | |
Got it. | 0:22:26 | 0:22:27 | |
Let's have a look, Luce. Great one. | 0:22:27 | 0:22:29 | |
It feels good because at least I can go home and say I've got one crab. | 0:22:29 | 0:22:34 | |
What's this?! A crab's escaped from Ellie's bucket | 0:22:34 | 0:22:37 | |
and Mum's claiming it as her own. | 0:22:37 | 0:22:39 | |
Shhh. | 0:22:39 | 0:22:41 | |
That's a bit shellfish, Mum! | 0:22:41 | 0:22:44 | |
Nets out, lines up, that's it, the time is up, | 0:22:44 | 0:22:47 | |
the crabbing competition is complete. | 0:22:47 | 0:22:49 | |
It's time to look at the scores on the board so follow me this way. | 0:22:49 | 0:22:53 | |
But Mum's cheeky crab catching hasn't gone unnoticed. | 0:22:53 | 0:22:56 | |
I'm afraid, Mum, you are disqualified | 0:22:56 | 0:22:59 | |
for your crabbing antics. | 0:22:59 | 0:23:01 | |
Ellie, you are clearly the winner with your massive... | 0:23:01 | 0:23:05 | |
CHEERING | 0:23:05 | 0:23:07 | |
It's time to release the crabs back into the wild. | 0:23:07 | 0:23:10 | |
I actually think it's a little bit harsh that I was disqualified | 0:23:12 | 0:23:15 | |
but I guess I have to just hang my head in shame. | 0:23:15 | 0:23:18 | |
Mum, where do you think you're going? | 0:23:18 | 0:23:21 | |
Camp site maybe. | 0:23:21 | 0:23:22 | |
I don't think it'll be the luxury we've had | 0:23:22 | 0:23:25 | |
-the last few days. -I can see a windmill. | 0:23:25 | 0:23:27 | |
I can't. | 0:23:27 | 0:23:29 | |
The other day we made bread | 0:23:29 | 0:23:32 | |
in a windmill. Well tonight, we're staying in one. | 0:23:32 | 0:23:35 | |
-Oh, wow. -Fantastic. -We're actually staying in there? | 0:23:35 | 0:23:38 | |
-Yeah. -Oh, fantastic! | 0:23:38 | 0:23:40 | |
-Woah! -Hey, look, | 0:23:40 | 0:23:43 | |
we're in a...round room. | 0:23:43 | 0:23:46 | |
-Yes, we are! -We are in a...round room. | 0:23:46 | 0:23:49 | |
Bagsy this bed. | 0:23:49 | 0:23:51 | |
The room's really cool | 0:23:51 | 0:23:53 | |
-and I'm really glad that I got the big bed. -You didn't. -I did. | 0:23:53 | 0:23:58 | |
Oh, nice to have a bit of relax isn't it? | 0:23:58 | 0:24:01 | |
-I wonder where the kids are? -Oh, I don't know. | 0:24:01 | 0:24:04 | |
No time for lying around, Mum and Dad, it's time for the banquet. | 0:24:04 | 0:24:08 | |
Hello there, here's your Gimme A Break menu. | 0:24:08 | 0:24:11 | |
Usually the kids have to stick to a healthy diet | 0:24:11 | 0:24:13 | |
but tonight they have control of the kitchen. | 0:24:13 | 0:24:17 | |
What should we have? | 0:24:17 | 0:24:18 | |
Posh burger and chips. | 0:24:18 | 0:24:19 | |
One side of the menu is naughty and the other side is healthy. | 0:24:19 | 0:24:24 | |
CHILDREN CHATTER | 0:24:24 | 0:24:26 | |
What will they pick for Mum and Dad? Naughty? Healthy? Healthy? Naughty? | 0:24:26 | 0:24:30 | |
So, what have you guys decided that Mum and Dad are going to have? | 0:24:30 | 0:24:33 | |
Dad's going to have the chicken curry and rice. | 0:24:33 | 0:24:36 | |
Fantastic. Thank you, children, that's a great choice. | 0:24:36 | 0:24:39 | |
And Mum's going to have the chicken and vegetable. | 0:24:39 | 0:24:42 | |
-Great. -Sounds good. -That's nice. | 0:24:42 | 0:24:44 | |
They sound pleased but will the choices tickle their taste buds. | 0:24:44 | 0:24:48 | |
-Great choice. Well done. -Was yours from the healthy option, William? | 0:24:48 | 0:24:52 | |
I don't think it was. The only one with the healthy option here is... | 0:24:52 | 0:24:56 | |
-Mum. -..Mum. -It's really good. Would anyone like to try some? | 0:24:56 | 0:24:59 | |
-- -William, have some, it's healthy. -- -In your dreams. | 0:24:59 | 0:25:04 | |
But there's no healthy option when it comes to the surprise dessert. | 0:25:04 | 0:25:08 | |
Oh, look at that! | 0:25:08 | 0:25:09 | |
-Oh, look at that! -I hope you're hungry. | 0:25:09 | 0:25:14 | |
How delicious is that? | 0:25:15 | 0:25:17 | |
Oh, look at these. | 0:25:17 | 0:25:19 | |
Cool! | 0:25:19 | 0:25:20 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:25:20 | 0:25:22 | |
That has got to be the nicest cake we've ever had. | 0:25:24 | 0:25:29 | |
Mm! | 0:25:29 | 0:25:30 | |
I'm nearly full. | 0:25:30 | 0:25:31 | |
You've got the rest of the windmill to eat. | 0:25:31 | 0:25:34 | |
It's one of the best cakes I've ever had. It's so yummy and delicious. | 0:25:34 | 0:25:39 | |
It's just like heaven. | 0:25:39 | 0:25:41 | |
I've never seen a cake like this. | 0:25:46 | 0:25:48 | |
Not only does it look great, it tastes even better than it looks. | 0:25:48 | 0:25:52 | |
It is one phenomenal cake. | 0:25:52 | 0:25:55 | |
POPPING | 0:25:55 | 0:25:56 | |
The Andersons' windy break in Norfolk is drawing to a close. | 0:26:03 | 0:26:06 | |
