Episode 1 Festivals, Sex and Suspicious Parents

This programme contains strong language.

-The freedom of your first-ever festival blow out with your mates.

-I like this song.

A chance to throw caution out of the window...

I can't wait for the queues.

..for a manic mashup of music and mayhem...

Holly, let's get some chips.

..far from the beady eyes of Mum and Dad.

You come to a festival to get drunk.

Except in this case, the parents have pitched up too.

That looks really good.

And they're secretly watching their every move.

-She's out of control, Kim. That is shocking.

-I don't like it.

All right, I'll go home, then.

Coming up - will party girl Lauren...

She's going to be such a handful tonight and I don't want that.

I genuinely don't know what's going on, like.

..finally learn when enough is enough?

I don't know what's going on. Do you know what's going on?

-I'm going home.

-No.

-That is shocking.

And will big-time drinker Chris live up to his mum's high expectations?

I aren't going to drink too much. I'm going to be responsible.

Or come back to earth with a bump?

He's going to be so embarrassed

-when he knows that I've seen him like that.

-Yeah.

As one way or another...

You are never going to live this down, ever.

..someone is in for a serious shock.

I really can't believe you're here.

Meet 19-year-old party-loving student Lauren from Plymouth.

Lauren lives at home with mum Kim and stepdad Dave.

It's Lauren's first festival trip

and she's on a mission to embrace all that's on offer.

I've never really been to a festival

so I don't know really what to expect, but..

I'm sure anything that comes my way I'll...

I'll more than likely go for it.

Lauren's no stranger to letting her hair down and a weekend away

at a festival means she can indulge in her love of a party.

A lot of my friends call me "Legolas" off Lord of the Rings

because I'm always drunk, so I'm always like "Legless".

My mum and dad would be shocked of how much I drink.

Me and my mum have always had like a really close bond.

I do tell her a lot, but I don't tell her everything.

Well, I don't think she drinks excessively.

-I worry about it.

-You do.

Because I think she drinks far too much for a young lady.

No, I think it's moderate, so I disagree.

We'll agree to disagree there.

Stepdad Dave has been in Lauren's life

since she was two years old and discipline is well and truly his department.

I'm the enforcer.

Definitely you're the enforcer. I am...

I know I am too soft because I always... I've just got...

I just always feel sorry for her.

I would say my stepdad is pretty strict.

I feel that if he, you know, wasn't with my mum and my mum was single,

like my mum was a single mum, she'd probably let me do what I want.

For Lauren's parents, the festival scene is full of potential pitfalls.

It's hard to talk about the environment of a festival.

I can only go on my ignorance and assuming that drugs

are free-flowing, there's loads of beer, loads of casual sex.

Put it this way up.

Joining Lauren for loads of fun are new BFF Georgia...

I think we're going to have such a good time together at this festival.

It's going to be absolutely brilliant.

..and best friend Holly.

This festival, I've got a feeling it's going to be pretty

intense, it is going to be amazing.

Holly, I've known probably about eight years, maybe nine,

and we're kind of like a married couple at the same time,

like we'll bicker and we'll argue

but it'll never be to the point where we're not friends any more.

Kim's hoping this weekend will prove to Dave that Lauren's

partying isn't out of control.

I think the experience will help you let go a little bit,

try and maybe make you a little bit more relaxed about her behaviour

-when she goes out.

-Mmm.

-Yeah, I think it will.

-I think it will really help, really help.

-Yeah.

Joining her on his first ever festival weekender is 20-year-old amateur boxer Chris,

whose actions speak louder than words.

Since I was 11 years old I've wanted to turn professional in boxing

and I'll basically work as hard as I can to get where

I want to get with that.

Chris lives at home in Hull with his mum Doreen.

I would like to see Chris reach his dream,

which is to become a pro boxer.

MUSIC: Theme from "Rocky"

But I'm very proud of Chris. He was a very shy and withdrawn

young child who's really kind of grown into somebody with

a lot of confidence that can go out and do things with his life.

Chris is dedicated to training for nine months of the year.

This first-ever festival trip is his chance to KO that strict regime.

This is my last big weekend before I start training for the boxing season.

I aren't going to be able to drink for around a year after this.

-Let's do our shots. Cheers.

-Cheers.

I've always told them that there's nothing wrong with drinking,

it's the amount you drink. He knows my standing on this.

Hoover. Come on, you spilt it, hoover. Hoover. Hoover.

He's going to be drinking piss this weekend so why not?

Yeah, hoover.

If you drink too much you don't know what you're doing

and then you could do something you wouldn't normally do.

And you've spilt it more, hoover.

Oh, you're a dick.

That's what happens if you spill a beer this weekend,

you have to hoover it up, even if it's on a muddy field.

I'm sure I've shown you how to do this before.

Alongside the discipline needed to box, Chris has been raised

with strict values provided by his mum's Christian beliefs.

Chris has been brought up with the moral standings of a Christian.

I hope that in his everyday life that comes across.

It does when I see him.

The side of me my mum sees is like the good boy, the nice boy,

the please and thank you, but maybe when I've had a few drinks that

goes a little bit and I turn more into a little bit of the crazy guy.

Mum Doreen will be following Chris to the festival,

hoping he keeps his discipline and manners intact.

I'm hoping to learn that Chris is the boy that I think he is.

I would like him to respect people, especially women, so it'd be really

interesting to see what he gets up to when he thinks Mum's not there.

Soaking up the festival spirit with Chris

will be sparring partner Joe and best friend Laura.

It's a first festival for mummy's boy Chris

and the first time he's been away on his own.

He'll be cutting the apron strings and cutting loose.

Yeah, my mum's the only person I can really get embarrassed by.

She's like my embarrassment kryptonite.

Are you sure you've got everything you're going to need?

Bye, Mum. Don't hug me, Mum.

I have to hug you. Behave yourselves.

Just be careful what you're getting up to and come back in one piece.

Bye.

Little does Chris know his embarrassment kryptonite

will be following him to the festival.

Time for the girls to catch the train and say goodbye.

Ready, love? Funny face.

Georgia will be joining them later

and she's not the only thing missing.

Holly's lost her phone.

I actually feel like crying. I need my phone.

Shit, I don't know where it is.

This is a massive crisis.

What time is it?

-Ten to ten.

-I'm getting it. I'm getting it. See you in a minute.

There is a chance that we may miss our train.

I'm not going to lie.

I think I may have left my phone in Lauren's car.

Hopefully she'll be back within the next ten minutes.

I'm sure she'll find it because it can't be anywhere else but my car.

That's a good start to the... weekend, isn't it?

Holly's phone, that incredibly vital piece of camping kit,

is still on the missing list, but at least Holly's made it back on time.

-Kiss. Love you.

-Have a great time.

-Bye, see you. Sooner than you think.

-Bye, bye. Sooner than you think.

-PHONE RINGS

-Have you got it?

Have you got it?

I've got it! Oh!

One phone located...

Honestly, you are the definition of blonde.

And the girls are now happy campers.

For 362 days of the year, Penrith in Cumbria is a quiet

and sleepy place until Kendal Calling arrives in town.

The girls will be joining the great unwashed under canvas this weekend,

if they can only find the camp site.

Ohh.

Lauren, just wait and I'll help you.

All right, we're going, we're going.

I feel like shit.

I feel like shit, I look like shit and I'm stepping on shit.

I'm never going to a festival again.

Right, now you've just got to put it in the hole, the first hole.

I thought you just tie it on?

-No, Lauren.

-She's not that bossy.

But if I weren't here, the job wouldn't be done.

-She's watched people do it.

-No, I haven't, Lauren.

Yeah, you lay out the mats then, me lover.

He's having a wee right there.

He better not get used to that.

Got our tent sorted.

I'm feeling pretty goddamn good.

We're going to have a very wild time.

MUSIC: "Seven Nation Army" by the White Stripes

On the road and with all their festival essentials packed,

Chris's training regime is on the back burner.

-To Kendal.

-Yes.

So basically, OK, right, it's called Seven.

# Seven nation army couldn't hold me back... #

Not supposed to drink yet. I'll start with one.

-No, you said seven.

-I said four.

-Oh, shit.

-Chris drink. Drink.

I can't stop laughing.

After a few hours on the road, Chris is full of festival spirit,

and by the time they arrive on site...

-It's water.

-No, it's vodka.

..he's really struggling.

I'm never good at drinking games, like I always lose.

Chris, get out.

He's camped there. Chris, do you want your sunglasses?

Give him the sunglasses, and my phone as well,

I will need to give that in.

-That's him, then.

-Is this the festival?

Played a few drinking games.

No, seriously, I'm all right, I'm all right.

And this is the outcome.

Right, text my mum to tell them I got here, because my mum

thinks I'm a good boy, but make sure it sounds like it's from me

cos obviously she wants to think I'm still sober when we arrive, so...

So what do you want me to say?

I aren't going to drink too much. I'm going to be responsible.

"From Chris".

It's going to take more than a text to pull the wool over Mum's eyes this weekend,

as Doreen has just arrived at the hotel with Chris's big sister Claire.

Joining them are Lauren's mum Kim and stepdad Dave.

-Look, it's a nice pool, Dave, look.

-Oh, nice.

-And they've got a Jacuzzi.

-Oh, ideal. Love that.

-Oh, look. It's lovely.

-Oh, very nice.

Ooh, it's really nice.

-Look, Dave.

-Far cry from what the girls are sleeping in.

I feel really... I feel really sorry for them now.

-We're staying in...

-No, no, no, we deserve this.

How do you think they're going to get on? They're quite different.

They'll have a great time. They'll have...

they'll be bitching and arguing but they'll be fine.

Having checked in and unpacked, it's time for the parents to meet.

-Hi.

-Hello.

-Hiya.

-All right, pleased to meet you.

-So how do you feel about what you're going to see with the guys then?

I think a bit nervous because he's never been away without the family.

-Hasn't he? Really?

-So we don't quite know how he's going to cope, do we?

-He's quite quiet around me...

-He's quiet, yeah.

So, I don't quite know how he acts when he gets out of the family

set up and I'm not around to keep an eye on him.

Well, at least Chris has Joe and Laura to keep an eye on him

and put up the tent.

First time putting a tent up together, it's not too bad.

After his booze-fuelled trip,

Chris has left the shy and retiring boy at home and he's off making new friends.

You're both very beautiful, like, and cos of your beauty,

you should take pity on a man like myself and let me try your hat on.

I've got a new hat, if...

if I had a camera right now I'd take a picture of the hat.

For Chris, Joe and Laura the drinks are still flowing,

and it's time to head to the main arena.

-We've seen Lauren in action quite a few times.

-Yeah.

So what do you think will be the best thing that could come out of this situation?

-Oh, I've no doubt she'll do us proud.

-Yeah.

She'll come through this and put to bed all the apprehension

and fears that I particularly had.

Yeah, he's very protective. I am as well, but...

I'm too protective, yeah, before we actually went through with this...

Kim's still hoping that Lauren will prove her drinking isn't

out of control and relieve Dave's fears.

Right now, Lauren's more interested in relieving herself.

-Oh...

-What?

-I've done it right to the top again,

and I've pissed all over my fucking hand.

Fuck sakes girl, what is wrong with you?!

Oh, shit. Have I actually peed on my shorts?

There'll be more on my fucking shorts later

so I don't know what I'm talking about.

This is best friend duty, this is, carrying my mate's fucking piss.

With the night only just under way,

Lauren's hard drinking is already causing tension.

Lauren, don't be necking red wine, seriously,

you'll be in bed by ten o'clock and I'm not raving on my own.

-You won't be raving on your own.

-What do you reckon?

-Trust me.

-I know she's going to be such a handful tonight

and I don't want that.

Like, I want to be able to have fun with her

but I know I'm going to be fucking baby-sitting.

-Can I juggle?

-Yeah, give it a go.

-Whilst busy making new friends...

-Whoa.

-..Lauren's lost her own best friend.

-Holly!

Right, I'm being serious now, we need to find fucking Holly, like I'm getting...

I'm getting my anxiety now, I need to find Holly.

And she's also lost control of her bladder.

I'm having a wee.

It's the queues, I can't wait for the queues.

Do you know what the funny thing is?

I just had a pee right there and no-one gives a shit and I love it.

Two people who probably won't love it are stepdad Dave and mum Kim.

Holly!

-Lauren. Listen to me.

-All right.

-We've got to fucking do this together.

-Yeah.

I was at the juggler. I don't know where you went.

I said to you, Lauren I really, really need to go toilet,

-so I've gone to go toilet...

-Oh, OK.

And you was like "I want to juggle".

-Yeah, that's fine.

-And I went "Lauren!"

-Honestly, babe...

-Lauren it's fine babe, it is fine.

-That's the only reason...

-You've got to listen to me. We've got to be safe.

-I love you.

I don't want to be looking after you all night. I know that's what's going to happen.

Having kissed and made up, the girls' night is back on track.

Shit, sorry, sorry.

I need to go toilet.

Hiya. Holly, I just did it.

Look at the fucking queue, look at the queue.

I'm sorry, I don't give a shit, I've done it already,

I've genuinely done it already.

I'm not waiting.

-Honestly, Hol you could do this, you're not even showing anything.

-You're spraying on my leg.

-And?

-It's pee.

-Who gives a shit?

And? I don't give a shit.

If I need a fucking wee, I'll have a wee. End of.

Stepdad Dave's worries about Lauren's drinking are looking

well-founded.

I'd love for you to be on camera but they'll cut you out,

-there's no point.

-Why do you love to be on camera? It's shit.

You're ginger, that's why you're not on camera, you're fucking ginger.

There you go, yeah, because you're a fucking ginger!

Gingers don't allowed to be on camera.

Yeah, you're ginger, you're ginger.

You're fucking ginger, yeah, carry on, you wanker!

Sorry. Anyway, I'm quite high. I'm drunk.

As the evening gathers pace,

Laura's headed back to the tent for the night,

and Chris has only one thing on his mind -

girls, but there's a problem.

I don't know, it's a cock fest in there, like every bar...

like the last bar I went into is a cock fest, this bar was a cock fest.

I just don't want a cock fest, I want somewhere where there is

actually females, like and not just all males.

Chris is a..

he's a little bit intoxicated right now

and he's trying to get hold of a bird which I really..

which I don't think he's going to be too lucky,

but we'll see how it goes.

Shall we go back inside?

-Yeah, let's go back inside.

-Yeah? Come on, let's go.

Let's go, I'll escort you into the building.

Joe, we'll go back in this place.

Basically, she walked off...

And like he got a big custard pie right in the face, is what happened.

Let's go to this other tent and see what happens.

Basically, she's a slag.

I ain't going to go following a slag,

I ain't going to go chasing the slag. Fuck her, she's a slag.

Chris seems to have left his manners at the bar,

along with his sense of balance.

This is exactly the type of attitude Chris's mum was hoping not to see.

It's been an OK night.

Didn't get much attention off girls tonight really,

apart from some slags.

I pull better when I'm not so pissed.

The chips are terrible

but apart from that it's been an OK night for the first night.

With the chips as bad as his pulling technique, a very drunk

and slightly sheepish Chris packs it in for the night,

hoping for more luck tomorrow.

Over at the dance tent, Lauren and Holly are still going strong.

-I want to dance, I want to go in there and I want to dance...

-Yeah.

-..and be there in there for about an hour...

-Yeah.

-And just sweat it out and dance.

-But we are dancing.

-Let's do it.

-Let's do it.

Lauren's down. Holly's dejected, but Lauren's not defeated.

Lauren's parents know she likes to party

but will this level of drunkenness be a shock to them?

-Crikey.

-Especially to mum Kim?

She's having a shit! >

Holly, let's get some chips.

Unfortunately, Holly's decided to cash in her chips

and go back to the tent, leaving Lauren to fend for herself.

Holly!

Need to find Holly.

However, she won't be on her own for long as mum Kim

and stepdad Dave have arrived on site to take a peek at what

Lauren's up to. Using a blacked-out van and some hi tech camera kit,

Dave and Kim will be able to get within a few feet of their daughter.

Lauren's mum usually has a laid-back attitude to her drinking

and thinks Dave is too hard on her.

-There she is.

-'Will this change her mind?'

We never had argument... me and Holly never have arguments.

Unbelievable. You could open the door

and just almost tap her on the back of the head.

We just bicker but..

What do you reckon's happened to Holly then?

Obviously Lauren's on her own.

If I'm honest, I don't really know what was going on,

like, if I'm honest, I can't even remember so hopefully she's

at the tent, but I'll be honest, I don't know where is right now.

Lauren's just said she doesn't...

can't even remember what they were arguing about.

Honestly, I don't care now, I just think I'm here,

I'm having a great time.

I really don't care.

For me, she's too... Whatever, don't care, sort of...

-Yeah, totally...totally different.

-Yeah.

I just want to go back to my tent now and get more drunk

and then see where she is, so.

She just wants more, doesn't she?

She does, she's insatiable for booze isn't she? She's terrible.

She's tripped over something.

-She's stumbling into the tent I think.

-Yeah.

-There she is. Fucking hell.

-Is Georgia here yet?

No. I was just saying where is she? Oh, there you are. Crikey.

I was just saying, was I not just saying, "Where is Holly?"

-What you doing, babe?

-Oh, Holly don't seem very happy, does she?

-Nah, Holly's not looking happy.

-What are you having a go at me for?

-Just shut up.

-Oh, what a shock.

Lauren, you watch this back mate and then you'll realise.

-I haven't done anything.

-Oh, they're off again now.

No way did I walk off drunk. I said to you I was going for a wee.

-Lauren, you don't care about nobody else but yourself.

-I don't give a shit.

When you've had a drink, all you care about is yourself.

Holly's going on about the fact that she's fed up

following a drunk around and that's Lauren,

because that's what she is, look, she's a little drunk.

Fuck off, Hol. Fuck off, then! Carry on. Go home, then.

She won't give a shit what I say so I don't give a shit.

-Tell you what...

-I don't like it.

-She's out of control, Kim, that is shocking.

I don't like it. I just don't like the language or anything.

-Carry on, then.

-You was like... Lauren you bought yourself a fucking...

Lauren you bought yourself a bottle of fucking wine and it cost you £18.

You blamed it on me. I didn't fucking buy the wine, you bought the fucking wine,

-blame it on yourself, you fucking twat.

-Yeah, carry on.

-No, I'm not, Lauren.

-I'll go home. I'll fucking go home.

Yeah, go home! It'll do me a fucking favour.

-It will, I'll go home right now.

-Go on, then.

I don't give a shit because at the end of the day...

at the end of the day you...

-That's how she treats her friends when she's out.

-Yeah.

And she gets in this state.

It's... well, should be ashamed of herself.

I'm speechless really.

I'm right, blah, blah, blah.

I don't even know what went on back at the fucking whatever

if I'm honest.

I'm going back home.

She's going home, now? What on earth is she doing?

No, she's just in a state. She won't be doing that, don't...

I'm going home. I don't understand how I'm wrong.

No, I don't like what I'm seeing, to be honest. Completely different.

And there we were, huh, saying that she would deal with it, she'd be all right.

-Yeah, I know.

-Look at her, embarrassment.

-I've had enough now.

-Yeah, I don't want to see any more of that.

No, no, I don't.

-I'm not happy.

-You ain't turned it off.

Decidedly unhappy with Lauren's behaviour, Kim and Dave head off.

Whilst a drunk and determined Lauren heads for the exit.

And I don't even know what's going on.

So I just think, I don't know what's going on, you don't

know what's going on, I'm going home. Fuck off.

At the end of the day, I'm not being funny,

but I genuinely don't know what's going on, like.

Saying that I'm going to go back, fuck that.

I will wait there... I will wait there in the tent and I'll go back,

until she gets up, I'll go back.

I feel like I've got a really bad headache

and I feel tired.

Late last night the girls were joined by Georgia who's been

tied up with work, and after last night's drunken antics

there's a subdued mood on the camp site.

I'm over last night now, I mean obviously I was really, really

upset, but that's probably got a lot to do with the drink as well.

They're like best friends, they've known each other for such

a long time, I think... it's just one of those things,

-Lauren just had a bit too much to drink.

-Just the embarrassing stuff I'll regret,

but other than that, no, I felt like I had a really good night.

It might be early but for the girls, it's never too early for schnapps.

Lauren's definitely having one.

There's Lauren's.

Do you want a straw?

You've got to keep on top of your festival make-up because it just gets a mess.

The parents are now about to take a look at exactly

what their kids got up to yesterday.

Chris and Lauren have both been partying hard

and Lauren's excessive drinking has already shocked Kim and Dave.

Lauren at the festival yesterday, I think I'm going to feel a bit apprehensive, don't you?

Depends what time she started drinking.

Yeah. The fears and anxieties are there,

whether she's at a festival or not, but in this particular case

I just hope she doesn't embarrass herself too much.

And Chris has well and truly cut loose from his training regime.

I would really like to think that Chris would respect women,

I'm really... have strong feelings about that.

I hope he keeps that respect that he's been brought up with.

-Where's the camp site?

-You've got to walk to it.

Like I need a nap.

Chris, get out, sit up...

You got... got the tickets?

No, I'll grab this, I'll grab this.

No, seriously... I don't need to sober up, you come to a festival to fucking get drunk.

That is so funny but it's a bit shocking, his language.

He's well pasted, by the time he got here, wasn't he?

I actually am surprised that he hasn't been throwing up,

-that he hasn't been sick...

-Yeah.

-..because he just looks as if he's just had too much.

Yeah, now's the time to meet girls, now's the time to meet girls definitely.

Chris is a little bit..

he's a little bit intoxicated right now and he's...

he's trying to get hold of a bird.

Basically, she walked off.

-And he got a big custard pie right in the face is what happened, so...

-Basically...

Let's go to this other tent and see what happens.

Basically she's a slag, I ain't going to go following no slag.

I ain't going to go chasing no slag.

Fuck her, she's a slag.

That was so funny. He's going to be so embarrassed when he knows that I've seen him

-like that.

-Yeah.

That is going to be...

-I don't think he'll expect me to find it funny, do you?

-I don't know.

I don't know what he'll expect you to think of it.

What was that term he was using behind that girl?

I think he was saying, like calling her a slag which is..

-have you heard that? That's a really Hull word.

-Yeah, yeah.

Because he didn't want to follow her and he was making an excuse not to.

I could be wrong there but I think even in his really

intoxicated state it was just a step too far for him, do you?

-Yeah...

-Obviously, as Chris's mum, I think that any girl would be really

lucky to have him.

Oh, I don't think they're good enough for him.

No, I was just going to say they're just not good enough for him.

-No.

-No.

I think if he'd have done it to her face I would have been really

disappointed in him, but the way he did do it,

I don't think there was any malice in it.

But if he'd have said it to her face or he'd...

when he said, "And I don't even like her" if he said that to her

face then he would have hurt her and then he would be hurting

somebody else's feelings and that makes it totally different, I think.

I don't think he had the right to call anybody a slag, did you?

No, no, I mean just because the girl's walked away

I don't feel that gives anyone the right to call her a slag.

I don't think she was being a slag, to be honest.

Doesn't even know the guy... the girl, from what I could tell

the girl's just having a dance,

she may not have fancied the guy. That doesn't make her a slag, does it?

How do you feel about what's going to come next?

-Really nervous.

-Are your really nervous today?

-Yeah, really, really nervous, yeah.

-I'm sure she'll be all right.

-Oh. Wait and see.

Doreen's happy to make excuses for Chris's behaviour.

Will Lauren's mum and stepdad do the same?

They witnessed the drunken end to Lauren's night.

Now they'll see how she got there.

Holly! I'm being serious now,

we need to find fucking Holly.

I'm getting my anxiety now. I need to find Holly.

I'm having a wee, it's the queues. I can't wait for the queues.

Oh, my...

Do you know what the funny thing is?

I just had a pee right there and no-one gives a shit and I love it.

I'm speechless at that. It's disgusting.

It's absolutely disgusting.

Absolutely. She's got no respect for herself at all,

as far as I'm concerned. That was shocking. Embarrassing.

You must have been...think...

She doesn't care. She openly does not care.

But that's because she's drunk.

I know. I know she's drunk.

I know she's drunk, but that don't make it right.

-No respect.

-Dropping her gear in the middle of that arena,

-in front of everyone.

-She should've been a boy!

-It's worrying that she's got that couldn't-care-less attitude.

-Yeah.

Look at the fucking queue, look at the queue.

I'm sorry!

If I need a fucking wee, I'll have a wee.

I'd love for you to be on camera but they'll cut you out.

You're ginger, that's why you're not on camera, you're fucking ginger.

There you go, yeah, because you're a fucking ginger.

Gingers don't allowed to be on camera.

Yeah, you're ginger, you're ginger.

You're fucking ginger! Yeah, carry on, you wanker.

Sorry.

Do you know what, I don't find it funny.

She hasn't even got the dignity left to go and find a bush

or behind a tree.

She's just dropping her gear in the middle of a paddock,

with everyone walking around her, looking at her,

then she's abusing that guy just cos he's got red hair.

-Yeah.

-She's got no dignity, at all.

That's the drink, isn't it? She wouldn't do it if she hadn't been drinking.

It is, but I'm really shocked.

Maybe I'm naive, then. I must be naive,

cos if that's what she's like every time she goes out,

-then...

-I think you are naive.

-I'm naive. I've got to be naive.

I think she sews you up and puts you to bed.

SHE WHISPERS

SHE CRIES

She's embarrassed, I think. She's probably tearing it.

You want to say something to make them feel better.

You can't really. We don't know her, do we,

-so we can't say, "She isn't normally like that."

-No.

I feel sort of like maybe I've let her down. I don't know.

I just didn't expect her to behave like that.

I know she's drunk, and I know she's outrageous when she's drunk,

and I've seen her acting outrageous, but never like that,

not in a million years did I think that she'd behave like that.

-She's tipped right over the end now.

-She's gone too far.

She's becoming abusive to people she's never met in her life before.

Guy's got a red head. So what? It's not his fault.

He's not a wanker for that, is he?

I don't want to see any more at the festival site,

cos I'm just too upset by it all, to be honest.

I would love to go back

and just see how much worse her behaviour could get.

I don't think it could get any worse.

I hope.

Kim has put her foot down and they will not be returning to the festival site today.

Saturday at Kendal Calling means just one thing - fancy dress.

And the Great British eccentrics are out in force,

including a whole bunch of people who forgot to check

what their friends were wearing.

Fancy dress will be providing the perfect cover for Doreen

and Claire to get a closer look at what Chris is up to.

Oh, look at these. This is going to be really funny, Claire.

This must be mine, and that's got to be yours.

My shoes don't even go with my outfit.

I look really creepy.

Suitably disguised, Doreen and Claire head off to track Chris down.

Can't see a thing!

In case you're wondering, that's Doreen on the left.

-I don't like it!

-Stop it!

I don't think I'm going to be drinking beer very much

after this weekend, so might as well make the most of it

and get all the varieties.

All the things I'll be missing, I might as well get this weekend.

Doreen wanted to know that Chris was as well-mannered

and polite whilst away as he is at home,

and she wants to get as close as possible to check up on him.

They're similar to the people we just listened to.

Oh, that's creepy.

That is freaky.

You've no idea how freaky, Chris.

I don't actually like that.

Already having got too close for comfort, Doreen and Claire

are throwing caution to the wind and go back for a second look.

Now this really is how to keep an eye on your kids at a festival.

I was really tempted to go up to them like this,

but I thought they would probably recognise us by then.

Let's photo-bomb it.

I'll come in your picture for you.

No, I wasn't, I don't... You're lovely, but...

With Chris, Joe and Laura on the move,

Doreen and Claire are in hot pursuit.

Don't like them.

Who?

The Krueger guys. I really...

I hate...

Just fuck...stop...

I can't deal with it.

Laura's putting some distance between herself and Mrs Krueger.

Chris, on the other hand...

Excuse me, could you just say hi to my friend Laura - she's very scared.

Can you follow her? Could you chase her?

Yeah, go on, follow her!

Doreen and Claire manage to stay in character and hold their nerve.

I was like, "Oh, no, oh no, what does he want?"

When he said, "Excuse me," I thought he'd got us

and he was going to say, "You're my mum!"

We was being really obvious! At least we look like men.

-But we've got boobs.

-Oh, well, you have.

I hate things like that.

I'm 19 and I hate horror films.

That's basically made the festival so far, like you can't

really get better than Laura getting chased by people in masks.

It's a bit nerve-racking getting so close to him.

I really thought we'd given the game away.

I thought it was really good seeing Chris today,

and he actually remembered to be polite when he came up to us.

He said, "Excuse me" really nicely, he didn't just come barging in.

So he remembered his manners, but I think we might get shocked later

because he'll have had a lot of alcohol.

Will he be able to still be the polite young man

when he's had a lot to drink? We don't know, do we?

So Doreen's pleased that Chris is being well-mannered during the

day time. However, she's yet to see him in full swing of a night-time.

We decided on my fancy dress, I'm going to wear these

and I'm going to wear boxing boots, and that's my fancy dress.

Go on, show... show them the proper outfit.

Come on, Chris.

That's my main concern, like my penis getting cold.

I look like I'm carrying this piece anyway.

The Chris that I know would never, ever strip to boxers

and run round practically... practically in the nude.

Chris is taking full advantage of his weekend away,

and the drinks are already flowing.

-Yes.

-It ain't that strong.

Unfortunately for Laura, it's too much too soon and she's staying put.

SHE VOMITS

You all right?

Who's being sick? >

A festival is simply not a festival without one vital ingredient - the rain.

# But if you're worried about the weather

# Then you picked the wrong place to stay... #

Following last night's drunken madness,

Lauren's opting for a quieter evening, a much quieter evening.

I think Lauren's learnt her lesson from last night, bless her,

she's a lot more calmer, she's taking it steady

and she's not drinking too much yet.

Thank you.

Lauren's quiet night out continues at a silent disco.

How do you change channels?

The experience of a festival is this, isn't it? It's rain...

-Rain.

-You get rain at a festival, you get weirdos at a festival.

So we've experienced all of it.

Tonight was a good night, but I don't feel like I have to be hammered to enjoy myself.

-Yeah, yeah.

-Like, I have enjoyed tonight.

When I'm hung-over and I'll drink, but it just doesn't...

it doesn't touch the sides, like I've drank

and it's just not even touching it.

It's not so much a quiet night for Chris...

We're going to go check out the festivals and we're going to pull some girls.

..who's hoping to pull using barefaced cheek.

The boys are winning some admirers,

but can Chris maintain his respect for women his mum was keen to see?

Fuck them, man. Fuck them.

Apparently not.

Well done. Well done.

We're going to go and check on Laura

and hopefully I'll sober up a little bit to the point where I can pull.

I want to go in there.

We need to check on Laura, so let's go.

Let's go and check on Laura.

Mum Doreen and sister Claire have arrived on site

for a closer look at the action.

Doreen will be hoping to see Chris prove he can behave himself

when he's drunk.

So, do you think they'll still be out partying, then?

Yeah, I think they will, do you?

Yeah.

What is Chris wearing? Really, really short shorts.

Oh, he has got some, yeah, really short black...

Oh, I think he's wearing them.

Get in, get in.

No, we'll make another one.

They're trying to make a hole in it so they can both see, but it's...

Oh.

Yeah, we're going to the Glow Tent.

-He still sounds really drunk.

-Yeah, he does.

And we're basically going to dance

to whatever's in there.

I can't believe he's just like... just behind us.

Are we going the right way?

You keep stopping.

Chris and Laura are heading off. Doreen and Claire are following.

He's really enjoying himself.

Is he just... He's just wearing boxer shorts.

Maybe he's decided because they have Rocky on them it makes him look like a boxer.

-I don't think he looks like a boxer.

-No, he don't,

he just looks like an idiot who's gone out in his underpants.

If I was there, I'd probably say to him,

"Chris, go and put some clothes on, please."

Where's all this female attention that he was going to get

-tonight that he wanted?

-Yeah.

Oh, look, he's checking if Laura's all right, that's sweet.

Yeah. I am really pleased that he's like...

they've stayed with her, I was a bit bothered that they

would like go off and leave her on her own.

-But they haven't, have they?

-I don't think Chris would.

-I don't think Chris would leave Laura.

-No.

He actually had more girls after him

with his clothes on than without. Does that tell you something?

Yeah, he did, he did.

I bet he's disappointed that the girls aren't all swarming round him.

He kind of looks like he's with Laura.

Yeah, he does, doesn't he? That could put people off.

Happy with Chris's behaviour but confused by his fancy dress,

Doreen and Claire head back to the hotel.

It's Sunday, and the sun is shining once again.

For Lauren and Holly, it's time to wave goodbye to Georgia.

-Have a safe journey.

-Yeah, have a safe journey.

-Just us two, love.

-I know, bubs. As always.

As always. Shall we go down to the main stage?

Lauren and Holly are not the only ones heading to the main stage.

Kim's had a change of heart

and has headed back on to the site with Dave.

Yeah, it'd be nice to see her enjoying herself rather than

absolutely hammered and obliviated.

If they turn around, we'll just dip in over here like that.

No, I know.

It's good news for Lauren's parents -

she's calmed down and is staying sober.

I tell you what, though, it's great to see her...

A bit calmer.

More like it, yeah. Nice to see her smiling, though.

Such a different girl, isn't it, totally different.

Dave and Kim want to take one last look before they leave site for the evening.

Shall we have a kiss for the camera?

-No.

-Camera's still recording us, you know.

-No.

-Go on, birthday kiss.

-No.

What else we can do... Wave!

Birthday kiss?

It's not even your birthday yet.

Actually, my stomach was going then. Ooh.

Lauren, climb up this way.

Uh! Oh, my God.

How you doing, Lauren?

Lauren's looking so much better tonight.

I'm just so relieved, because it was just...

-that was my Lauren there.

-Yeah.

-Not...

Not that scrag end we saw the other night, misbehaving.

-That was Lauren, and...

-Yeah, it's great to see her.

-Yeah, yeah.

Satisfied that Lauren has redeemed herself,

Kim and Dave are confident enough to head off for the evening.

The boys and Laura are on the hunt for a much more

adrenaline-fuelled end to the weekend.

You should come in the mosh pit tonight.

No, because I'll get bashed and I'll end up in fucking A&E.

The final night of the festival is drawing in,

and it's a last chance for the parents to see

what Lauren and Chris have been up to this weekend.

Let's have a look.

It's my new best friend.

Oh!

Oh, Chris, you... I'm embarrassed.

I can't believe he got his bottom out.

What did I say? I hope he doesn't do a moony.

That is really embarrassing,

and the Chris that went away to this festival

would never, ever have done that.

Well, at least he didn't get his willy out.

He's going to be more embarrassed than I am

when he finds out I've seen it.

-She was probably a slag, to be honest.

-Oh, no.

All the girls here are probably slags.

Does that embarrass you, him saying that?

It's like kind of saying it about all women.

-That's it, he's labelling, you know...

-Labelling everybody.

A girl gave him a kiss, she found him attractive,

-that don't make her a slag, does it?

-Yeah, no.

-Yeah.

He's getting a bit silly now, isn't he?

Chris isn't shy about his opinion of girls,

and his opinion of attending church could also be a shocker.

Well, that kind of is really surprising,

because none of it's true, because, I mean, you know,

I've never made any of you go to church, it's a free will thing,

and I kind of...my faith is my faith

and you've all been allowed to make your own minds up.

-But he doesn't like to disappoint you, though?

-No, he doesn't like to disappoint me.

Bit of a shock.

To me, it just looked like Chris was just going round kissing anyone who was willing to kiss him back.

Yeah, but we decided, didn't we, between us,

he didn't look very experienced at it.

-Don't say that on telly!

-He's going to kill us for that.

For Dave and Kim, there's a chance to hear

some home truths from Lauren, too.

There's not just one best thing about my mum,

she's everything I could ever ask for, so I wouldn't...

I wouldn't change her for the world.

I mean, my step dad, he's been with me since I was two,

so he's basically like been my dad, he's like my dad.

So, I have a really good relationship with him,

like, we bicker and we argue

because I think everyone's like that with their dad, like, and he's very

protective as well, so that's, like, really nice that he's like that.

It's really, really sweet to hear that, but you know...

it's... The way she thinks about us is nice.

I'm just relieved, really, because that's the Lauren

that I wanted to see, that's the Lauren that I know.

I mean, I know that she did...

she drinks, I know she drinks a lot, but I never thought she'd be,

what's the word, as gross as that?

Maybe I was just being naive, but...

Yeah, you look at it now, afterwards it looks...

just a little glitch and she...

I think she needs to realise exactly what she's done and what

she does and can do and sort of just try and temper it a little bit.

Yeah, but I think we... we ought to have a little...

-a nice chat with her.

-Well, we could have a little chat with her,

But she's not a little girl any more.

Yeah, I know, I know, but it's still...

it's not going to hurt, is it, a mother and daughter chat.

Friday night was a real shock to the system for Lauren's mum, Kim,

but the past two nights have proved that Lauren can keep her drinking under control.

Me and Lauren, we're fine just the two of us.

We have a good time, anyway, and Lauren's like...

she's behaved so far, she's steadied herself now, I think we're both

on the same path, I think we're both on the same wavelength so it's good.

For Chris and pals Joe and Laura,

it's a tough decision on how to end their festival weekend.

All I'm saying is as soon as you get in the glow tent,

you wander... As a girl, you two try and pull,

whatever, but I end up standing behind both Rob and Mike.

I end up just wandering and stood there...

If you're going to spend six hours in a tent trying to pull

-I'll go back now.

-Yeah, but no, Laura...

-Because it's awkward, it's pointless.

-No, I don't go into a tent to try and pull.

-Yes, you do.

-No, I don't, I don't go in there to try and pull.

-Laura.

-I like the music, I like the atmosphere.

-Joe, shut up a minute, right?

I like what...I like them places.

-Laura...

-I'll go wherever, I'll see how it goes,

and if I feel as a spare part I'll go, but...

-No, cos you're saying this...

-No, if it's feeling...

But just say what you want to do,

and then we can decide what to do. What do you want to do?

I don't mind. Oh, just whatever.

Laura's given in and the weekend's ending in the glow tent.

That's yours.

I got booted in the head.

I got booted in the head.

-I don't know.

-Let's get out of here.

Laura's taken a nasty tumble and received a blow to the head.

It's up to Chris to take charge.

Laura's gone from being in the glow tent to the first aid tent.

A mosh pit started and then someone fell over and then they all

fell over on top of each other, and Laura happened to be

under that or in the mix of it,

and she says she got hit in the head.

I'm just worried that... they didn't let me go in with her, like,

she needs a friend in there, really.

The festival don't matter,

but we just want to make sure our friend's OK.

Having finally been allowed in to see Laura,

Chris proves he can be responsible.

-Panicking really badly.

-It's best to get it checked out.

-I'm panicking.

-Don't panic.

You're in the best place, these are going to look after you, these'll make sure you're all right.

But my neck's hurting and everything.

-I'm panicking really badly.

-That's why it's best to get it checked out.

It's not how they planned to end the weekend,

but Laura's OK and just needs to rest.

It's Monday morning, and the revellers are leaving

the festival site and their rubbish behind.

For Lauren, there are two surprise stewards to escort her home.

Let me look at myself. Crikey. I wasn't expecting that at all.

Low-lights were the fucking toilets.

Me getting absolutely paralytic, not even knowing what I'm doing.

-But other than that...

-Georgia going home.

Yeah, Georgia going home, I would have liked for her to stay,

but other than that, I've had a good weekend.

-Keep your head down until...

-Very slick, yeah.

-..until they've...we've sussed that they've recognised us, right?

-Yeah.

-They're struggling.

-Oh, this is funny.

-Well, Lauren is.

-Yeah.

Not only are Lauren and Holly headed for the exit,

they're also heading for the shock of their lives.

Excuse me. Ha-ha-ha-ha.

-Oh, my God.

-Hello.

-Come here.

-You are...you're unbelievable.

-I can't believe that.

-Did you have any idea?

-No!

-No!

-All right, trouble?

Are you upset or...?

Oh, I can't believe you're here.

-Are you worried?

-I can't believe you're here. Oh, my God!

I can't believe you're here.

I can't believe you're here.

What are you like, eh?

-We're falling...

-Are you all right?

-Was you here the whole time?

-We have been...I...

Yesterday, I could have lent out the back of the van

-and grabbed you, no problem.

-I think about the second day-ish.

But I'll tell you what, before you get home,

-if you need to stop for a wee...

-Yeah?

..all right, if I were you,

I'd find somewhere a little bit more concealed to do it, yeah?

-That really upset me, though.

-Why?

-And I was actually crying.

-Mum was in a right mess.

-I was in such a state.

It doesn't surprise me, that.

But thank you, Holly, for looking after her.

Yeah, Holly, you were superb, you were brilliant.

You were an embarrassing lady, you were.

I'm glad I saw it, really, Lauren,

because I think we're going to have to have a little chat about it.

It wasn't all bad, though, Lauren, because you sort

of like redeemed yourself, I think you realised how bad you'd been.

-Right, come here, anyway.

-Go.

Now I think I am glad that I come,

because it's highlighted that she's...

drinks a bit excessive...well, not a bit, she does drink excessively.

-Don't come too close, we've got smelly hair!

-No, you're all right.

I reckon you've got smelly everything after that all weekend.

I'm feeling really embarrassed.

Even a bit pissed off, if I'm honest.

I'm not happy.

They've got a lot of reasons to be unhappy with me

because I'm their daughter and they don't want to see it like that,

but then I think, well, you put yourself in that situation so deal with it.

This weekend has proved to Kim that Lauren's drinking

can get out of hand,

and Lauren now knows that she will have to face the music back home.

I have no idea how Chris is going to react to seeing us.

You're a little bit worried about it, aren't you?

I think he's going to be really shocked,

but I'm really looking forward to it.

Back on the camp site, Doreen and Claire are in position,

ready to surprise Chris.

Mum, I think you're making yourself more obvious.

I know, I don't want him to see us.

You're carrying the tent back.

Yeah, that's fine.

I carried it up here, you carry it back.

-All right, Chris.

-Hi, Chris. Fancy seeing you here.

-All right?

-Do you know something, Chris?

We've been here all weekend.

We've seen everything you've done, absolutely everything.

We saw you rolling around on the floor like a baby giraffe that couldn't get up.

When you arrived, you were so drunk when you arrived, you couldn't

stand up, and we have seen everything, even your hairy bum.

Saw you...

You are never going to live this down, ever.

Do you know what I thought was real funny?

Do you know when you was near them people in them masks

and you told them to go scare...

-No, that was not...

-Guess who was in them masks?

-Guess who it was?

-Me and Mum.

-It was us.

-Seriously?

Yeah, you came... you was like in front of me, Chris.

We was like stood this close and you went, "My friend's scared of you"

and I'm going, "Oh, he'll know it's me!" and you didn't even guess.

We so was as well.

I'm shocked.

I didn't expect to see like my mum and my sister here.

It was like the last thing...

Yeah, I don't really know what to say.

It's just...I've been set up.

We're going to be winding Chris up for ever.

We're going to be able to use this for years to come.

When he brings girls home, we'll be able to use it.

I said at the start, like, my mum's the one person that was going

to embarrass me, and now she's come here and she's embarrassed me.

There's still people walking around some places as well

and they're seeing my mum hug me and stuff.

It's the most embarrassing thing that's happened to me.

Back home in Plymouth after an eye-opening weekend, and now that

the dust has settled, it's time for that mother and daughter chat.

I didn't think I'd see you like that.

Afterwards, I thought, "Oh, my,

"I've made such a big mistake," and then I thought...

maybe it was good I did see you like that,

because Dave's always saying...

has said a lot in the past he thinks you've maybe...

-drink a bit...

-Well, yeah, that's because he used to be like it.

That's because he used to be like it, so he knows.

Yeah, he's probably seen himself, yeah. Yeah.

He knows what he was like,

and obviously that's kind of what I'm like, so he knows.

I know now that I shouldn't drink as much

and I should listen to others,

because obviously what they're telling me is true,

but I'm just being like, no, I want...

you know, I'll do what I want,

but knowing that you've seen me like that,

I just think I won't drink as much.

So maybe it was good, then, it was like a bit of a wake-up call.

-Yeah, maybe it was.

-Maybe, even though there was...

like I say it was a rollercoaster and I though, what have I done...

It was a wake-up call, but I'm going out tonight.

Next time, ladies' man Harry...

..is after more than just a few kisses.

Totally give up with him now.

And will mummy's girl Hannah...

I've lost my handbag.

Yeah, I'm not very drunk, I'm like...

Don't lie to me!

..finally prove her independence.

-We've had a threesome twice.

-Oh, my God.

..as one way or another...

-Morning!

-Oh, my God!

..someone is in for a serious shock.

I'm not impressed, boys. I'm livid.

I can't believe this!
