0:00:02 > 0:00:04This programme contains strong language.
0:00:04 > 0:00:06Your first holiday with your mates.
0:00:06 > 0:00:096,000 miles away from home to Thailand,
0:00:09 > 0:00:13where booze comes in buckets,
0:00:13 > 0:00:18boys will be boys and girls may be boys too.
0:00:18 > 0:00:21I've seen one of their willies.
0:00:21 > 0:00:24A baptism of fire, far from the glaring eyes of mum and dad.
0:00:24 > 0:00:26Oh, my God. Oh, my God!
0:00:26 > 0:00:31Except in this case, the parents have come along too.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33Spying on the sly...
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Oh, my God, I can see him, he's..
0:00:35 > 0:00:38..secretly watching their every move.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40- Oh, jeez.- Drop.
0:00:40 > 0:00:44But as the youngsters stumble merrily down the fast lane to independence...
0:00:44 > 0:00:45Go away.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Look at the state of him.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49You've just got to give me a minute.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53..one way or another, someone is about to get...
0:00:53 > 0:00:54Is that you doing that?
0:00:54 > 0:00:56..the shock of their lives.
0:00:56 > 0:00:57Why are you here?
0:00:57 > 0:00:58I'm not doing it.
0:01:00 > 0:01:01Let's go. Oh, God!
0:01:01 > 0:01:05Coming up, two young and up-for-it kids
0:01:05 > 0:01:09head out on their first ever friends holiday away from mum and dad,
0:01:09 > 0:01:12to the distant island of Phuket in Thailand.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15But will pampered girl Jo...
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Feel a bit sad.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20..manage to cope away from home on the wild streets of Patong...
0:01:20 > 0:01:23I think I've seen one of their willies.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26..without her mollycoddling mum to help her along?
0:01:26 > 0:01:28No, Jo, don't, no, no.
0:01:28 > 0:01:29And can Geordie student John...
0:01:29 > 0:01:31What happens in Thailand stays in Thailand.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34..prove he's really as independent as he thinks?
0:01:36 > 0:01:39And will it all end in tears?
0:01:39 > 0:01:41Right, deep breath.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Carefree mummy's girl Jo...
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Mum, have you seen my scarf?
0:01:54 > 0:01:57..is preparing for her first ever girls' holiday.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59Mum, have you see my grey shorts?
0:01:59 > 0:02:03Jo lives at home in Bristol with her mum Julie, step-dad Rob,
0:02:03 > 0:02:05and big sister Louise.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10And she loves nothing more than taking it easy.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13I'm definitely not mollycoddled by my mum at all.
0:02:13 > 0:02:14Well, to some certain extent.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Jo, haven't you forgotten something?
0:02:16 > 0:02:17Yeah.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Sun cream.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23Whilst mum Julie lets Jo get away with doing nothing,
0:02:23 > 0:02:26step-dad Rob tries to be more authoritative.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29I do get a little bit angry sometimes that she's not pulling her weight.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Just lift them higher, Jo.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33And this can cause friction.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37We had a rocky stage with Jo where the evil step-father
0:02:37 > 0:02:40and wouldn't let her do this, etc.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43I will clean if I'm told to but my mum's
0:02:43 > 0:02:45so precise about everything, if I did it,
0:02:45 > 0:02:47it wouldn't be right anyway so I don't see the point.
0:02:47 > 0:02:53I wouldn't dream of doing 90% of the things that you do for her.
0:02:53 > 0:02:54Bit higher.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57But I like doing it, though, because I'm the mummy.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03Jo only really comes to life when out partying.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05I do tend to drink quite a lot when I go out, I think
0:03:05 > 0:03:08it's because it takes me more to get drunk, I'm just..
0:03:08 > 0:03:09I'm one of those people.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12Jo, you've got your shoes on again on the sofa.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15Something her parents don't get to see.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19- I don't think we hear 90%... - No.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21..of what Jo would get up to.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23It's not just the night out,
0:03:23 > 0:03:28- it's seeing Jo coping without you being around.- Yeah.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30I don't know if my mum knows how much I drink.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33She probably, if she saw me in a club going up to the bar as many times
0:03:33 > 0:03:36as I do, she'd probably think, "Why is she going up to the bar so much?
0:03:36 > 0:03:37"She doesn't need all that."
0:03:37 > 0:03:41Julie missed out on the partying lifestyle as a young mum.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44There is a little bit of me, the little wild side of Julie
0:03:44 > 0:03:48that almost wants to sort of do what Jo's doing.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51I'm dead jealous, really, of what is going on,
0:03:51 > 0:03:55wished I could have done that with my friends at the time.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57So you want Jo to do what you couldn't.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00Yeah, pretty much, yeah, yeah.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Just think, when we're drunk, when we're out there dancing,
0:04:02 > 0:04:05I wonder whether people are going to be dancing,
0:04:05 > 0:04:07we'll probably be so much more embarrassing.
0:04:07 > 0:04:12Raving along with Jo to Thailand are her best friends Shaz and Natalie.
0:04:14 > 0:04:15That is like my signature move.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17Jo, you're like proper, like...
0:04:19 > 0:04:21- I'll miss you. - Mum!
0:04:21 > 0:04:24- I will, I'll miss you, Jo. - Oh, Mum.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Mum Julie may be jealous of Jo's partying,
0:04:26 > 0:04:29but she is also struggling to let go.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33I think it probably is time to cut the apron strings from Jo.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37I think she needs to be a bit more wise to the world.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Oi, are they condoms?
0:04:39 > 0:04:42They're not condoms. I swear, they're not.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Going to Thailand is Jo's first chance to escape
0:04:45 > 0:04:47from her over-protective mum.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49I'm sure they're a nice race, though.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51And you need to respect the culture as well.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54- Yeah, obviously.- Because you've not been to a country like this before, have you?
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Yeah, I do think that it'll be amazing
0:04:56 > 0:04:59to be in a different country and getting drunk.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01I will probably embarrass myself
0:05:01 > 0:05:03but I'm not really that worried about it, to be fair.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05I've got nothing to be ashamed of.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07- What factor is that? - Factor 30?
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Oh, we're going to need like 50, not 30.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12Julie and Rob are also heading to Thailand to check
0:05:12 > 0:05:15if Jo really can stand on her own two feet.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19I genuinely think that she will have to do it and she'll do it well,
0:05:19 > 0:05:23because I think she's got a bit of me inside of her.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25You may be disillusioned.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Also en route to Thailand is Geordie student
0:05:33 > 0:05:35and self-styled ladies' man, John.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38I would describe myself as a party animal,
0:05:38 > 0:05:40loves to live in the moment,
0:05:40 > 0:05:43enjoys the company of a woman every so often.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46John lives at home with his mum Lisa and dad John Sr,
0:05:46 > 0:05:49not that they see very much of him.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51If you go into his room normally to have a chat,
0:05:51 > 0:05:54"How's the day been, John?" "Shut my door."
0:05:54 > 0:05:57That's all you get off him. "Shut my door, shut my door."
0:05:57 > 0:06:01As a result, mum and dad feel they have lost touch with their son's life.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04He's in his room most of the time.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07He might come down and put a little bit of charm on for me
0:06:07 > 0:06:10if he wants some money for a night out.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Begging for money is a sore point with his father.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15The worst traits about John, I would say,
0:06:15 > 0:06:18I don't think he understands the real world, you know.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20At his age, I was sort of earning a wage and things like this
0:06:20 > 0:06:22and bringing money into the household.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25He's quite happy to take his pocket money and thinks an allowance
0:06:25 > 0:06:29should be due to him without doing a huge amount of work in the house.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Is he independent?
0:06:31 > 0:06:34He would say yes but I would have to say no.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Mum.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39- Yeah?- How do you work the oven?
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Oh, you're joking, how many times have I showed you?
0:06:41 > 0:06:45When it comes to girlfriends, the parents are also left in the dark.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49I'd say we're totally clueless to his, you know,
0:06:49 > 0:06:51relationships with girls at this time.
0:06:51 > 0:06:52Usually choose arse over tits.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56John's not the type of boy to have one night stands.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59There has been a couple of times during sixth form
0:06:59 > 0:07:02when I've had to pull a sickie for a quickie.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05Joining John on the long trip to Thailand are his pulling mates.
0:07:07 > 0:07:08Ginger wingman Heron.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11I want to go to Thailand to get absolutely smashed.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13And the unstoppable Carter.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Well, Newcastle's renowned for its slags, like,
0:07:16 > 0:07:18but Thailand will take it to a new level.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21How he's out when he's out with his friends,
0:07:21 > 0:07:22I've got no idea whatsoever.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26John does not confide in us one little bit.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28He does not tell us anything.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31If you meet any girls, I hope you respect them
0:07:31 > 0:07:34and I hope that you stay safe, OK?
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Make sure that you stay with your friends and that you don't..
0:07:37 > 0:07:38- Are you listening? - Yes.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40That you don't leave anyone, OK?
0:07:40 > 0:07:44That you go home together and that you look after each other's back.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47OK? Promise?
0:07:47 > 0:07:51Promise. Everything I'm going to do, you said don't.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Think he's ready for that freedom with his friends.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Yeah, but not ready to work to pay for it.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Right, make sure you stay safe.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03For John's parents, going to Thailand is a chance to find out
0:08:03 > 0:08:06what really goes on when they're not around.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08We probably could never get this opportunity to see him,
0:08:08 > 0:08:12what he's really like, what he's like with his friends
0:08:12 > 0:08:16and, you know, just to see what the young man who we've brought up has become.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19- You know, it's a real opportunity. - And we hope that he takes on board
0:08:19 > 0:08:22- the values that we've hopefully given him.- Yep.
0:08:23 > 0:08:29Back in Bristol, Jo is dying to depart on her epic journey away.
0:08:30 > 0:08:31Be good.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Bye.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36After the long goodbyes, the girls think they are finally free.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40If only Jo knew the truth.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Watch out, Jo, the parents are coming.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50Up on Tyneside, the Geordie boys are also hitting the road.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Enjoy yourselves, lads. Be good, stick together.
0:08:53 > 0:08:58Little does John know, big John will be watching his every move.
0:08:58 > 0:08:59See you soon, lads.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01In a couple of days.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12Patong, on the island of Phuket. A Thai paradise
0:09:12 > 0:09:18and intense party town where everyone is invited
0:09:18 > 0:09:20to get down and downright dirty.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22A ping pong show!
0:09:24 > 0:09:28And every night is a flashing neon cocktail of boozed-up fun
0:09:28 > 0:09:29and frivolous behaviour.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Welcome to Thailand!
0:09:42 > 0:09:45First to arrive are Jo, Shaz and Natalie.
0:09:45 > 0:09:46Taxi time.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49It's been a 24-hour booze-filled journey.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52- We actually did get pissed on the plane.- You got pissed on the plane.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55I nearly left my ticket in the taxi, remember.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59And then you walked off and just left it on the seat.
0:09:59 > 0:10:00Oh, yeah.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03With your passport and everything. I was like, "Jo!"
0:10:06 > 0:10:07It's hot.
0:10:07 > 0:10:11It seems the mix of tiredness and alcohol is taking its toll.
0:10:11 > 0:10:17Oh, my God. Left my suitcases on the road. Oops.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20I don't know how I'm trusted to go on holiday on my own,
0:10:20 > 0:10:22I really don't, I need my mum.
0:10:23 > 0:10:24Oh, my God.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28Shaz and Natalie grab the best beds.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31Do you know what, you're bitches, you're such bitches.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34- But you've got a flower on yours. - All right, all right.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36And hit the minibar.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38- Does anybody want a drink? Do you want a drink?- Yes, please.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41- Oh, my God, it's amazing. - Oh, my God, this is amazing!
0:10:41 > 0:10:43It's the girls' first holiday on their own
0:10:43 > 0:10:47and they aren't quite familiar with how a mini-bar works.
0:10:47 > 0:10:52- You have to pay for stuff out of the bar, don't you?- What, that?
0:10:52 > 0:10:55Why do they put it in there if you've got to pay for it?
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Shall we start getting ready?
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Oh, my God, they work.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08As the girls freshen up, across town...
0:11:08 > 0:11:09I'm liking this.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12..the Geordie boys are also nearing their destination.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15Like you say, I think it's a bit more like party feeling
0:11:15 > 0:11:17than I thought it would, if you know what I mean.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21It's already proving an eye-opening experience.
0:11:21 > 0:11:26Is it safe to assume that the groups of not-so-dressed women
0:11:26 > 0:11:28are prostitutes?
0:11:28 > 0:11:32- We'll find out tomorrow, like. - Going to find out tonight, mate.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40After checking out the ladies, they're in a confident mood.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44I'm thinking if you want to get maximum lad points tonight,
0:11:44 > 0:11:47you'll have to try and pull someone, bring them back.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Whether or not you can bring them back or not,
0:11:49 > 0:11:52it's just all about the effort that you try to put in, all right?
0:11:52 > 0:11:54The boys aim to play it safe.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Got 12 between us and I think that's optimistic.
0:11:57 > 0:12:02I've got one in my wallet. Ribbed, just to be safe.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Only 20 minutes after arriving
0:12:04 > 0:12:07and the guys have already lost all of their money.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11- Oh, my God.- Well, we're fucked now, aren't we?
0:12:11 > 0:12:12That's the money gone.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15We'll have to go downstairs, man.
0:12:20 > 0:12:21Brilliant.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24At least the guys thought about security.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Mum and Dad would be so proud.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Locked the safe, like, permanently,
0:12:28 > 0:12:31we didn't really read the instructions.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39No, thanks. No, no.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42Huh? No, thanks.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Bangla Road is the main party strip in Patong...
0:12:44 > 0:12:46She's not interested.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49..and can feel intimidating.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51No, thanks!
0:12:51 > 0:12:53They're scary when they come to close to you
0:12:53 > 0:12:56and they're like "Wah, come on!" Little bit scared.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01Stay near me, stay near me.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05It's a long way away from Jo and the girls' native Bristol.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08It is so busy and there's people, like, ladyboys everywhere.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Yeah, can we have a photo?
0:13:12 > 0:13:15- 100? For a photo?- Yeah.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Oh!
0:13:20 > 0:13:22OK, OK, bye.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Fuck that!
0:13:24 > 0:13:27A few quick drinks will maybe calm their nerves.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Oh, my God.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37Oh, my God, it's rather strong.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Rather strong.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50Further up on the strip, the Geordie boys are back in the money
0:13:50 > 0:13:53and ready to party.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01Welcome to Thailand!
0:14:03 > 0:14:06Like crazy hectic, nothing like you'll see in Newcastle and stuff.
0:14:06 > 0:14:10John is not intent on holding back, no matter what the cost.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14I know my limit and stuff, but will I abide by it in Thailand?
0:14:14 > 0:14:16No, I'm on holiday, I'll live it up,
0:14:16 > 0:14:18drink as much as my wallet can afford.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22The constant attention from the Thai waitresses has convinced Heron
0:14:22 > 0:14:24of imminent lad points.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26I'm definitely going to pull tonight.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30And what better way to lure the ladies than showing off
0:14:30 > 0:14:32some serious dance moves?
0:14:41 > 0:14:44The girls, however, are not as happy with the constant attention.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46No, thank you. We've got one already.
0:14:46 > 0:14:50No, thank you. Want to go back?
0:14:50 > 0:14:54- We'll go back and party hard tomorrow.- Yeah.
0:14:54 > 0:14:55We're going to go back.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58They decide to return to the sanctuary of their hotel
0:14:58 > 0:14:59for an early night.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02I wasn't really expecting it to be the way it was.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05It was so, so manic, but I think that, like,
0:15:05 > 0:15:08I wasn't expecting as many ladyboys as there was.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12Loads of people were coming up to us with leaflets and stuff like that,
0:15:12 > 0:15:15with like naked girls all over them, we were like, "No thank you!"
0:15:15 > 0:15:18- Night, guys. - Night.- Bye.
0:15:20 > 0:15:241:30am and the Geordie boys are still in the groove.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28It's going pretty well. Heron's been joined by a couple of birds,
0:15:28 > 0:15:30that makes it all the more funny.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32But Heron has been enlightened.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Tried to pull some birds there,
0:15:34 > 0:15:37a load of them turned out to be Thai prostitutes,
0:15:37 > 0:15:38which isn't too cool.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42You know, I mean, they're looking at me but secretly they want my wallet.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44Heron may have sussed out the situation
0:15:44 > 0:15:48but the same can't be said for Carter, who has disappeared.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00An hour later and Carter appears at the boys' hotel
0:16:00 > 0:16:02with a local Thai girl.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06It seems this young lady may be a working girl
0:16:06 > 0:16:08and not allowed in the hotel.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Going to have to say goodbye and leave it, don't want to get...
0:16:11 > 0:16:13Don't want to get dodgy on this.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16Carter thought he'd pulled the girl of his dreams
0:16:16 > 0:16:17and now he's just confused.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20I always thought prostitutes were just like up front
0:16:20 > 0:16:22and would just say "This much for that,"
0:16:22 > 0:16:26but I could be wrong, she could have been completely legit,
0:16:26 > 0:16:30but, I mean, she offered me a ride home, which I suppose is weird.
0:16:30 > 0:16:31I'm gutted now.
0:16:33 > 0:16:38A forlorn Carter heads out in search of the others.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41- Oh, there they are. - What the fuck happened to you?
0:16:41 > 0:16:43We just checked some fucking dark alleyway,
0:16:43 > 0:16:45we thought you might be fucking dead somewhere.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47Did you think she was a prostitute, like?
0:16:47 > 0:16:49We kind of fucking suspected it after all her mates
0:16:49 > 0:16:52started laughing and stuff. Right, let's go home.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55What a fucking nightmare!
0:16:58 > 0:17:033:30am and all is not well at the girls' hotel.
0:17:03 > 0:17:07I've got like a really bad cold, and my tooth's coming through.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11I would prefer if my mum was like here when I...
0:17:11 > 0:17:13because when I don't feel very well,
0:17:13 > 0:17:16but obviously she can't, but oh, well.
0:17:16 > 0:17:21Jo should be careful what she wishes for. Dreams can come true.
0:17:26 > 0:17:30And in only a few hours, mum Julie and step-dad Rob
0:17:30 > 0:17:35arrive in Thailand on the same flight as John's dad.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37- Hi, John. - Hi, nice to meet you.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Rob, how you doing?
0:17:39 > 0:17:43John's mum hasn't been able to get the time off work,
0:17:43 > 0:17:46so she's sent her mum, Joyce, for moral support.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48First time your lad's been away on his own?
0:17:48 > 0:17:51- Yeah, it is. - Is he a sensible lad?
0:17:51 > 0:17:55- Or...is he bit of an airhead? - He comes across as sensible
0:17:55 > 0:17:58but I don't know what he's like on the drink.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00- How much do you get to hear about his night out?- Nothing.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Nothing? Some here, absolutely nothing.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04We only hear what Jo wants to tell us.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07She happened to admit that she broke her wrist without knowing
0:18:07 > 0:18:10how she done it, that was only three, four weeks ago.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13- Otherwise, we wouldn't have... - We had to go to casualty.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Whilst the parents are whisked away to their hotel,
0:18:16 > 0:18:20the guys are out in search of some cheap entertainment.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27- I'm boiling. - You warm, mate?- Aye.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31Last night's binge session has left the boys counting the cost.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35Last night, I was expecting to spend like 2,500 Baht
0:18:35 > 0:18:38but I ended up spending 3,500 and that was just like the night times,
0:18:38 > 0:18:40just getting used to the prices,
0:18:40 > 0:18:42you'd order a drink and not realise how much it was.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45How much did John spend without realising?
0:18:45 > 0:18:503,500 back at home is about... Oh, God...
0:18:50 > 0:18:55About £100, £125 I think, I'm not too sure.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Still don't understand it, like.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59If John only knew the exchange rate,
0:18:59 > 0:19:03he'd realise he'd only actually spent around £70.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07But aye, way more than I'd spend at home just, dunno, first night,
0:19:07 > 0:19:10crazy like, don't look at the prices or anything,
0:19:10 > 0:19:12you just buy whatever you want, really, but...
0:19:12 > 0:19:15Has John seen the error of his ways?
0:19:15 > 0:19:17I say I'll be careful, but I won't.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19I'll end up spending too much money again.
0:19:25 > 0:19:30One person no doubt eager to see how John is coping with his own money
0:19:30 > 0:19:32is his father, John Sr.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34This is his first holiday abroad by himself.
0:19:34 > 0:19:35I want him to still be sensible.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38I hope they stick together as a group of friends
0:19:38 > 0:19:41and I want to see that he chooses his friends carefully
0:19:41 > 0:19:43and they look after each other.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Nan Joyce has other hopes.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49Oh, he's a handsome boy, our John, he is.
0:19:49 > 0:19:54I think he could, like, score, you know, with somebody,
0:19:54 > 0:19:59but whether he treats her right or he goes out with the boys,
0:19:59 > 0:20:00we don't know.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03The parents are about to get their first look at what their kids
0:20:03 > 0:20:05have been up to.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08Jo's mum Julie and stepdad Rob are feeling anxious.
0:20:08 > 0:20:13Now we've made this big effort to get out here and watch them,
0:20:13 > 0:20:17now's the time for Jo to show us what she really does
0:20:17 > 0:20:20and not what she tells us what she does.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22First up is John.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25What have I let myself in for?
0:20:25 > 0:20:27I know, oh, my goodness me. Right, OK, let's do it.
0:20:28 > 0:20:32Be needing these later. Those were some johnnies.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Some rubbers.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37To be fair, buying 30 each was a bit optimistic, like.
0:20:37 > 0:20:4012 between us, I think that's optimistic!
0:20:41 > 0:20:43- Safety conscious, yeah. - Yeah.
0:20:43 > 0:20:44Yeah, that's a good lad.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47Yeah, first impression he's a nice lad. Nice, decent lad.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50No, I'm pleased to see condoms, I was asking if he wanted me
0:20:50 > 0:20:54to buy them for him and he's done it himself, so I'm fine with it.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Yeah, no, I would be happy with that, yeah.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02I said, "Go easy on the shots the first night, the shots."
0:21:02 > 0:21:04- Looks like a bucket, doesn't it? - Yeah.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07I know my limit and stuff but will I abide by it in Thailand?
0:21:07 > 0:21:08No.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13- Oh, John! - John! I can't..
0:21:13 > 0:21:15I'll be honest, I can't..
0:21:15 > 0:21:18I can't fault him at the moment, I actually think he's lovely.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20It's still too early, I'm trying...
0:21:20 > 0:21:22It's still too early? You know your son.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25- Don't want to big him up. - You know your son well.
0:21:25 > 0:21:26Not allowed to stay.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28Who's that?
0:21:31 > 0:21:33Hey, man, we just checked some fucking dark alleyway,
0:21:33 > 0:21:35we thought you might be dead somewhere.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38- Did you think she was a prostitute, like?- We kind of...
0:21:38 > 0:21:41- Oh, shame.- ..when all of her mates started laughing and stuff.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43- Oh, bless him.- Lad. He hasn't been too bad.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Oh, did you have a little moment then
0:21:45 > 0:21:47when you were like, oh, later that night?
0:21:47 > 0:21:51I was really getting nervous then, especially when I saw one of them by themselves. Phew.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53Not phew for me.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56Carter was a little bit naive when a very pretty girl offered
0:21:56 > 0:21:59to give him a lift back to his hotel on the back of a moped.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01I hope John wouldn't get caught out with that.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03It could be worse tomorrow.
0:22:03 > 0:22:04Yeah, I think it could be.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06Could be, but I'm quite proud of John,
0:22:06 > 0:22:09I think he's really, really done well.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11I've never heard him swearing, have you?
0:22:11 > 0:22:14- Heard him a couple of times. - Oh, I never heard it.
0:22:14 > 0:22:15So far, so good.
0:22:15 > 0:22:16Next up is Jo.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19All right, let's see how the other half are getting on.
0:22:19 > 0:22:20Taking a deep breath now.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23We actually did get pissed on the flight, we got pissed on the flight.
0:22:23 > 0:22:27God. I knew she would.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30I nearly left my ticket in the taxi, remember?
0:22:30 > 0:22:32Oh, my God, she looks really drunk.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Um, where's our suitcases?
0:22:36 > 0:22:37Huh?
0:22:39 > 0:22:44Oh, my God. Left our suitcases on the road, oops.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48Leaving her case on the street.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Standard Jo.
0:22:50 > 0:22:54Standard. Nothing's surprising me at the moment, that's just Jo.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Oh, my God.
0:22:56 > 0:23:01- She seems quite sober, doesn't she? - Yeah.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05- We'll go back and party hard tomorrow.- Yeah. I need sleep now.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08I need sleep, yeah, I need sleep. We're going to go back.
0:23:08 > 0:23:09Fine.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12She's shocked me, actually. I am quite shocked.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15I thought she would have gone out there full blast and...
0:23:15 > 0:23:18Perhaps the afternoon drinking has took it out of her, and the flight.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20- Yeah.- Oh, bless.
0:23:20 > 0:23:24I've got like a really bad cold, and my tooth's coming through.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26I told her to pack the Bonjela
0:23:26 > 0:23:29and she's like, "I won't need it, I won't need it."
0:23:29 > 0:23:32I would prefer if my mum was like here when I...
0:23:32 > 0:23:36when I don't feel very well, but obviously she can't, but...
0:23:36 > 0:23:37Bless.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40She must be bad to go home, mustn't she?
0:23:40 > 0:23:43Well, she's only been gone a day and already she's missing you.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45Misses mum. Oh, bless her, that's nice...
0:23:45 > 0:23:47She needs her mum, doesn't she?
0:23:51 > 0:23:53- You watch her, she'll pluck up tomorrow.- I know.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55She'll be fine tomorrow morning.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57It's what I do, though, isn't it? I look after her.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00She's only down the road, that's the hard thing, isn't it?
0:24:00 > 0:24:02- Yeah.- I know, it's so hard. - Oh, bless.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05I need her to liven up a little bit, really.
0:24:05 > 0:24:06- I need her to...- I don't know,
0:24:06 > 0:24:09I think you're probably expecting too much of the girl.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13- Yeah, maybe, yeah.- 24 hours without you, not feeling well,
0:24:13 > 0:24:16- a long flight.- Well, this is where Jo surprised me
0:24:16 > 0:24:18because I didn't think that she would be like this,
0:24:18 > 0:24:22I thought she would just go and get on with it
0:24:22 > 0:24:24and get straight out there,
0:24:24 > 0:24:26but, yeah, maybe I'm being a bit harsh.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28- Little bit. - Yeah, OK.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33Getting straight out there is certainly something
0:24:33 > 0:24:35the boys are intent on.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39Me and Heron are about to go parasailing.
0:24:39 > 0:24:40What they don't realise
0:24:40 > 0:24:43is there are a couple of spies heading their way.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48- The Geordie James Bond, aren't you? - Yeah.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51And I'm, what am I? Money...
0:24:51 > 0:24:53- Mrs Moneypenny. - Yes. Is she nice?
0:24:53 > 0:24:56- She's gorgeous. - Right, that's all right.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59Dad John and nan Joyce are on a secret mission to keep
0:24:59 > 0:25:02a close eye on young John.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05Oh, you get a life jacket. Can I have a life jacket?
0:25:09 > 0:25:11One just went straight up my fucking arse.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17- There he is, look. - Is that him there?
0:25:17 > 0:25:18Yeah, do you see him?
0:25:19 > 0:25:22Balls of steel, me. I ain't scared of nothing.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30I would love to run over and give him a cuddle.
0:25:30 > 0:25:35I would, honest, but he doesn't know gran's here, does he, so I cannot.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40- It feels sneaky but nice in the same way, you know?- Yeah.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43Fantastic to see him, it really is. I cannae take my eyes off him.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46- Oh, I know.- It's like your first bairn, he'll always be your bairn,
0:25:46 > 0:25:48- if you know what I'm saying? - Yes, he will.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51John's getting hooked up now, yeah.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53How you feeling, John?
0:25:53 > 0:25:55- Good, yeah. - Don't hurt yourself.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57- Let's go! - Oh, God, ahh!
0:26:01 > 0:26:03- Look at that. - Blinkin' heck.
0:26:03 > 0:26:08Ohh! Are you not strapped in? Are you just holding on?
0:26:08 > 0:26:10- No. - Oh, God.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12John may be flying high,
0:26:12 > 0:26:16but if he knew his family history, he may have had second thoughts.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19His mum, on her first holiday, did this and the wind caught it
0:26:19 > 0:26:21and span it.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23She got twisted up and she went like under water
0:26:23 > 0:26:26and the diver had to jump in and get her, she couldn't get out.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30So watching him, it's nerve-racking, isn't it, John?
0:26:32 > 0:26:34Ohh!
0:26:34 > 0:26:36Despite mother-in-law Joyce's concern,
0:26:36 > 0:26:39John Sr is keen to push his luck.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41- Give it a go, Joyce, lad... - No, no way.
0:26:41 > 0:26:45- You only live once.- I'd have a heart attack, I know I would.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50If you give me a million pound, I couldn't, I'm terrified of heights.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53Stop laughing because I said I'd have a heart attack.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57Yeah!
0:27:04 > 0:27:06Yeah, it was epic.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08It was lovely seeing him, it really was,
0:27:08 > 0:27:10looks as though he's had a really good time.
0:27:12 > 0:27:17With the coast clear, the undercover spies make a hasty retreat.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21John, what if he noticed us?
0:27:25 > 0:27:28As the night draws in, Patong comes to life,
0:27:28 > 0:27:30but after being ill the previous night,
0:27:30 > 0:27:33Jo really isn't in the party mood.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35Are you excited to speak to your mum?
0:27:35 > 0:27:37Yeah, it feels like I haven't spoken to her in ages.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40Like, when you're at home and you know that they're close,
0:27:40 > 0:27:43you don't miss them as much, but when you're so far away from them
0:27:43 > 0:27:46- and you need to talk to them about things...- Yeah.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48And you can't, it's like really difficult.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53Hello?
0:27:53 > 0:27:54Jo needs some reassurance.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56Oh, hi, Jo.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59She's sure her mum is back in Bristol.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01What am I doing? What do I do on a Saturday?
0:28:01 > 0:28:03Housework, Jo. Huh!
0:28:03 > 0:28:04I was ill last night.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06You were not well?
0:28:07 > 0:28:09No, I wasn't very well.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11Yeah, there's a bit of a time delay, Jo,
0:28:11 > 0:28:14- so I'm trying to keep up with you. - It's really hot over here.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16Oh, my goodness, it's raining at home
0:28:16 > 0:28:19so I should make the most of it, Jo, it's pouring with rain.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21- Go out there and enjoy yourself, OK? - Yeah. I will.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23It's a fantastic opportunity,
0:28:23 > 0:28:26go and enjoy yourself with your mates, all right, love?
0:28:26 > 0:28:28All right, I'll speak to you later.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30Oh, I love you loads, Jo. Love you, enjoy yourself.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33- Love you. Love you, bye. - See you soon, love you too, bye-bye.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38It's so complicated to have a conversation
0:28:38 > 0:28:40because there's, like, a time delay.
0:28:40 > 0:28:45Oh, that was so hard. So, so hard. Oh, my goodness.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48She's like just over there.
0:28:48 > 0:28:51Right, are we ready to go? Yes, ready?
0:28:51 > 0:28:55The girls may be needing some encouragement to let their hair down,
0:28:55 > 0:28:57but one group needing no encouragement...
0:28:57 > 0:28:59Cheers.
0:28:59 > 0:29:00..are the parents.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03I suppose to find somebody that actually drinks the same amount
0:29:03 > 0:29:05as me and Julie is absolutely brilliant.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07We're not massive drinkers.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09Aren't you? Aww.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14Jo's mum Julie feels she missed out on her youth
0:29:14 > 0:29:16and just hopes Jo will not let the side down.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18That's quality, that.
0:29:18 > 0:29:23As for drinking, I think it's parents one, children nil.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26I'd agree with that. Let's drink to that.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28Cheers to that one. Come on, kids.
0:29:28 > 0:29:31Here's to more beer.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36She's like "bring it on."
0:29:36 > 0:29:40Also dead set on hitting the beer tonight are the Geordie boys.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43Tonight will probably be a lot crazier than last night,
0:29:43 > 0:29:45like, I want to get absolutely fucked tonight.
0:29:45 > 0:29:47After last night's failure with the girls,
0:29:47 > 0:29:50the boys are determined to score some lad points.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53Heron is absolutely gagging for it, honest, son.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55I use condoms with people I don't know
0:29:55 > 0:29:58but if I know them and I trust them, I wouldn't.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00- Yes.- Yes, man.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03Somebody who'll get the contraceptive pill in the morning.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05Little smiley for him.
0:30:05 > 0:30:09All the sex talk gets John fired up and keen to make his mark...
0:30:09 > 0:30:11on Heron.
0:30:11 > 0:30:13Ooh! Ah!
0:30:14 > 0:30:17I think it's burned through the flesh.
0:30:17 > 0:30:18It did!
0:30:18 > 0:30:22John's unique branding idea hasn't gone down well.
0:30:22 > 0:30:23Just look at my arm, it's fucking...
0:30:23 > 0:30:26It's blistering, man, it's blistering! Twat.
0:30:26 > 0:30:30And just to add fuel to the flames, John has another not-so-bright idea.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34HE SCREAMS
0:30:36 > 0:30:38Oh, fuck!
0:30:38 > 0:30:40What happens in Thailand stays in Thailand.
0:30:40 > 0:30:41You wish.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48A bucket and a few suicide shots later
0:30:48 > 0:30:50and John is relishing his new-found freedom.
0:30:55 > 0:30:59It's weird not having the parents, like, you know,
0:30:59 > 0:31:01no authority figure like telling us "no, no," "this, that,"
0:31:01 > 0:31:06but, got to grow up once, got to learn to live on me own two feet.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08Go on, Thailand! Yes!
0:31:10 > 0:31:14Jo, Shaz and Natalie have also hit the strip.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16Mum's pep talk has done the trick.
0:31:16 > 0:31:21Oh, my God, what the fuck? That's so strong.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28The girls are getting up close and personal with the locals.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33There's like so many ladyboys here, it's unreal.
0:31:33 > 0:31:37They're like everywhere. I think I've seen one of their willies.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40Jo's thoughts are now far from home.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43Like earlier when I spoke to my mum I was bit like, oh,
0:31:43 > 0:31:45I kind of miss her, but now I've come out
0:31:45 > 0:31:48I've completely forgotten about it and I feel better now.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53I've literally had an amazing night now.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55Yeah, it's so much better than yesterday.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57We have met such lovely ladyboys,
0:31:57 > 0:32:00I mean, people misjudge these people. They are lovely.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03Warming my chips up.
0:32:08 > 0:32:12Back down the strip, the drinking may be going well
0:32:12 > 0:32:15but the quest for lad points isn't.
0:32:15 > 0:32:18Heron and Carter think there may be more fish in the sea.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21Basically, we're going to walk down this beach,
0:32:21 > 0:32:24see if there's any lasses in the moonlight.
0:32:24 > 0:32:28If so, we'll take them for a fucking horse ride, really dramatic like.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31Of course, that won't happen because we can't afford a fucking horse.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34Be careful, man.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37Down on the beach, there isn't a filly in sight.
0:32:38 > 0:32:44With no girls, Heron and Carter decide on a dangerous midnight dip.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46Beach, water...
0:32:46 > 0:32:47Let's go, if you want. Yeah? Keep with me.
0:32:47 > 0:32:51I'm looking after you, man, I'm not trying to be like a twat.
0:32:51 > 0:32:55They're just drunk, they're being fucking idiots.
0:32:55 > 0:32:56Like, if Carter wanted to go in the sea,
0:32:56 > 0:32:59go when he was sober this morning, but he didn't go in there once,
0:32:59 > 0:33:03he's just being stupid and, nah, just being absolute idiots.
0:33:04 > 0:33:08Thankfully, John has transformed from foolish fire starter
0:33:08 > 0:33:10to Captain Sensible.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12Carter and Heron are not impressed.
0:33:12 > 0:33:14Heron.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17"Let's not go in the ocean, you might get wet, ohh!"
0:33:17 > 0:33:18Was I looking out for you?
0:33:18 > 0:33:22You were responsibly looking out for us just in case we drowned.
0:33:22 > 0:33:26- Exactly.- And let's be honest, right, the tide was fucking massive.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28- It's dodgy, man, it's dodgy. - Yeah, yeah, exactly, exactly.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30"Oh, you might get wet, ohh!"
0:33:42 > 0:33:45The parents are bracing themselves for another instalment
0:33:45 > 0:33:48of their kids' first ever holiday on their own.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51John and Joyce are feeling upbeat.
0:33:51 > 0:33:52I was quite proud of our John
0:33:52 > 0:33:54apart from when he was drinking out of a bowl.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56- Was it a bowl or a bucket?- Bucket.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58A bucket. I was quite proud of him,
0:33:58 > 0:34:01but poor Carter hanging around for women, and...
0:34:01 > 0:34:03he would have had to pay.
0:34:03 > 0:34:04I think it could be a little bit wilder.
0:34:04 > 0:34:08Yeah, I do, I think they'll really get drunk and they'll all try
0:34:08 > 0:34:11and meet some nice girls and...
0:34:11 > 0:34:12Get some lad points.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15Get some lad points, yes.
0:34:15 > 0:34:16First up is John.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19Right, let's go and see what they got up to.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22Tonight will probably be a lot crazier than last night, like.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25I want to get absolutely fucked, me.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28I want to pass out, I really do.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31I'm just worried by it. You know, it's only his second night,
0:34:31 > 0:34:33he can't know the place that much at the moment.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36You know, and he says he's going to get in that sort of state
0:34:36 > 0:34:38where he doesn't know where he is, you know.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40Why? You know, what's he going to remember of that?
0:34:40 > 0:34:42Typical boy, typical man.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45- We'll see. - We'll see.
0:34:45 > 0:34:49I use condoms with people I don't know, but if I know them
0:34:49 > 0:34:51and I trust them, I wouldn't.
0:34:53 > 0:34:54- Yes.- Yes, man.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56Someone who'll get the contraceptive pill in the morning.
0:34:56 > 0:35:00Ooh.
0:35:00 > 0:35:05I mean, I don't think of him doing it, never mind using condoms.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07- Oh, no, it must be hard for you. - It's embarrassing.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09- It's hard for you, isn't it, that? - Yes, it is.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12I mean, talking like that, if he knew the girl, he wouldn't?
0:35:12 > 0:35:13- Yeah.- Got to be so careful.
0:35:13 > 0:35:17- Yeah, that's... - I'll have to have a word with him.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23Ee! Who the heck's done that?
0:35:23 > 0:35:24John.
0:35:24 > 0:35:25Did he throw...?
0:35:25 > 0:35:27I don't know what they're playing at.
0:35:27 > 0:35:32I don't. I mean, that could have caused a big fire.
0:35:33 > 0:35:34A bit dangerous.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37His mother would have a fit, wouldn't she?
0:35:37 > 0:35:39- She wouldn't be happy with that... - Have a fit!
0:35:39 > 0:35:41Let's... let's go in the water.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43Don't go too far in, mate.
0:35:43 > 0:35:45You ready? Beach, water, yeah. Keep with me.
0:35:45 > 0:35:49If you really want to go in the sea, you should wait until you're sober,
0:35:49 > 0:35:50just daft, really.
0:35:50 > 0:35:53- Ahh, good lad. - That's lovely, isn't it?- Aww.
0:35:53 > 0:35:54That's nice.
0:35:54 > 0:35:56"Let's not go in the ocean, you might get wet, ohh!"
0:35:56 > 0:35:59Was I looking out for you?
0:35:59 > 0:36:03You were responsibly looking out for us, just in case we drowned.
0:36:03 > 0:36:04Exactly.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06- They're lovely lads, aren't they? - Aww.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09- Chuffed a bit with that. - Yeah, commendable, very commendable.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11- Yes.- We've come out the other side, haven't we?
0:36:11 > 0:36:14- Yes.- Started off I was like, "Oh, what to expect tonight?"
0:36:14 > 0:36:16- but no, I'm so proud.- Pulled it back.
0:36:16 > 0:36:20I was very proud that he looked after his friend
0:36:20 > 0:36:23who was considering a swim late at night, you know, still thinking
0:36:23 > 0:36:26about the tides, I couldn't be more proud of that, to be honest with you.
0:36:26 > 0:36:28Next up is Jo.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30Right, let's do this then.
0:36:30 > 0:36:31Yep, let's have a look.
0:36:31 > 0:36:33Oh, she's drinking loads.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37Oh, Jo.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39Oh, no, Jo. Oh, Jo.
0:36:39 > 0:36:44That's the Jo I know.
0:36:46 > 0:36:48She's dancing.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51Like earlier when I spoke to my mum I was a bit like
0:36:51 > 0:36:54"Oh, I kind of miss her" but now I've come out, I've
0:36:54 > 0:36:56completely forgot about it and I feel better now.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59Oh, that's good.
0:37:01 > 0:37:04- Oh, my goodness.- Well, I was hoping it'd be more than a few hours
0:37:04 > 0:37:06that she didn't want to speak to you any more.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08Yeah. I know, it's so typical of Jo!
0:37:08 > 0:37:10"Oh, I'm really sad," "Oh, OK, I've got over it."
0:37:10 > 0:37:13- You've done your job well. - I've done my job well.
0:37:13 > 0:37:16Julie is delighted to see her daughter's finally cutting loose.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21Right, deep breath.
0:37:21 > 0:37:22Today it's tears of happiness.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28Right, OK. I'm all right now.
0:37:28 > 0:37:32Yeah, I think the little talk would have done her the world of good.
0:37:32 > 0:37:35I think she would have listened to me because I think even though
0:37:35 > 0:37:38I don't think she does listen to me, she does, and she would have said
0:37:38 > 0:37:40"Right, OK, Mum, let's just go out there"
0:37:40 > 0:37:43and I said to her, "Enjoy your holiday, enjoy the experience,"
0:37:43 > 0:37:45and I genuinely think she will now.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49And what better way to wash away those homesick blues
0:37:49 > 0:37:51than to hit the surf?
0:37:51 > 0:37:53- Surf's up, man.- Surf's up.
0:37:56 > 0:37:58Jo may be a little scared...
0:37:58 > 0:38:00Shitting myself.
0:38:00 > 0:38:04..but she is learning to stand on her own two feet.
0:38:08 > 0:38:12Just that, and it just goes straight through you, and it has power.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22I've never been away without my mum and without my dad before
0:38:22 > 0:38:25so I feel like I've come out here like quite naive.
0:38:25 > 0:38:30First of all, I felt really homesick and now, I feel so much better now.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33Being here has made me want to go travelling now
0:38:33 > 0:38:34for like a longer period of time.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37I reckon I could last out here for like three months
0:38:37 > 0:38:40and it would be a really fun time, like, a really good experience.
0:38:40 > 0:38:43Jo is literally on the crest of a wave.
0:38:43 > 0:38:47Back in town, mum Julie and Rob are taking full advantage...
0:38:47 > 0:38:49- Wow, is this it? - You ready?
0:38:49 > 0:38:51- Are you ready? - Oh, my God.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54..by snooping their room.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57Oh, my fucking God, look at the state of that.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59Oh, my God!
0:38:59 > 0:39:00Unbelievable.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04Unbelievable.
0:39:04 > 0:39:08Oh, my God. Oh! It's food.
0:39:08 > 0:39:12Put it in a bin, girls.
0:39:12 > 0:39:13Oh!
0:39:13 > 0:39:14It's broken.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16I'm shocked. Seriously.
0:39:16 > 0:39:19The door's been Jo'd.
0:39:19 > 0:39:22Yeah, she does break everything.
0:39:22 > 0:39:25- Unbelievable. - I weren't expecting this.
0:39:25 > 0:39:26No, in my...
0:39:26 > 0:39:30No, she can be a messy little madam but this is disgusting.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33I'm just thinking of what Jo's room would look like
0:39:33 > 0:39:35if you didn't tidy it.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37Yeah, I'm going to go back to my tidy hotel.
0:39:37 > 0:39:39The house-proud parents may be gobsmacked
0:39:39 > 0:39:43but to be fair to Jo, the mess hasn't gone unnoticed.
0:39:43 > 0:39:46In fact, it's proved inspirational.
0:39:46 > 0:39:50Being on this trip does make me think that I'm, like, quite spoilt
0:39:50 > 0:39:52and I want to go home now and just like...
0:39:52 > 0:39:55like help my mum out and like help her around the house
0:39:55 > 0:39:57and stuff because, like, when I see the state of our room,
0:39:57 > 0:40:01it makes me feel sick. When I go home I'm going to appreciate
0:40:01 > 0:40:05my tidy room so much more and I'll want it tidy because I'm on my own.
0:40:18 > 0:40:21It's the last night out for the Geordie boys.
0:40:21 > 0:40:24Money is tight, girls are few and far between
0:40:24 > 0:40:26and Heron is in a bad mood.
0:40:26 > 0:40:29A ping pong show!
0:40:29 > 0:40:32I wish they'd stop trying to fucking sell me shit.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34I don't want it.
0:40:34 > 0:40:36I'm getting really agitated at all these salesmen.
0:40:36 > 0:40:40I want to grab one of their signs and tell them to piss off.
0:40:40 > 0:40:45Ever the calming influence, John leads the boys into a chill out bar.
0:40:45 > 0:40:47But only five minutes later...
0:40:47 > 0:40:49Basically, that bar was fucking shite.
0:40:49 > 0:40:51- It was boring. - Pay 200 Baht to get in.
0:40:51 > 0:40:55- The only decent thing about that bar...- Ah, sorry!- Yes!
0:40:55 > 0:40:57- You fucked that one up massively, didn't you, girl?- Sorry.
0:40:57 > 0:41:01The intelligent choice would be to follow where that Australian bird
0:41:01 > 0:41:04that just interrupted me went. So if we follow her direction...
0:41:04 > 0:41:06- You mean the one you told to fuck off?- Yeah, I know.- Yeah!
0:41:06 > 0:41:08Let's follow her scent.
0:41:08 > 0:41:10The guys head off in search of the Aussies,
0:41:10 > 0:41:13and surprisingly they find them.
0:41:13 > 0:41:15Do you guys want me to buy you a drink?
0:41:15 > 0:41:18- Is that what you're asking? - Yeah, we want a bucket.
0:41:18 > 0:41:19Of what?
0:41:19 > 0:41:22Sprite? Fanta, vodka, what?
0:41:22 > 0:41:23Vodka.
0:41:23 > 0:41:27Heron believes his luck has changed. John isn't so sure.
0:41:27 > 0:41:30Have you ever seen him close a deal once?
0:41:32 > 0:41:35He does get stuck in friend mode, man, he actually does.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37Heron is absolutely gagging for it,
0:41:37 > 0:41:39he's been talking about it all holiday
0:41:39 > 0:41:43so I had to sacrifice my free shot for his bird that he pulled
0:41:43 > 0:41:48so, yeah, he wants it more than me so I'll let him have this one.
0:41:51 > 0:41:55Jo's mum Julie missed out on the party lifestyle as a young mum
0:41:55 > 0:41:59and is desperate to see her daughter make the most of her time in Thailand.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04Getting nervous now.
0:42:04 > 0:42:08Tonight, along with stepdad Rob, they are heading to Bangla Road
0:42:08 > 0:42:11to see how Jo manages to cope in the big, bad world.
0:42:11 > 0:42:15I'm hoping that we get to see the true side of Jo.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18That's what I'd like to see, the Bristol Jo that goes out
0:42:18 > 0:42:21and doesn't always come home, actually.
0:42:21 > 0:42:24The sights of Bangla Road prove a real eye opener.
0:42:30 > 0:42:34The parents hide on a balcony directly above a bar,
0:42:34 > 0:42:36just as the girls arrive.
0:42:36 > 0:42:42Julie and Rob are still in shock from seeing the strip first-hand.
0:42:42 > 0:42:47I'll be honest, I'm not surprised that Jo's not maybe entirely
0:42:47 > 0:42:50being herself because this is quite a scary place for Jo, isn't it?
0:42:50 > 0:42:55- Just walking up with you, even with two adults...- Yeah, that's right.
0:42:55 > 0:43:00It's frightening when somebody's putting something in your face all the time.
0:43:00 > 0:43:02Yeah, all the time.
0:43:02 > 0:43:07Jo is completely oblivious that her parents are less than ten feet away.
0:43:07 > 0:43:10This is going to be a first, as Jo said she would never, ever
0:43:10 > 0:43:13- be in a club at the same time with you.- Yeah.
0:43:13 > 0:43:17We just want to shout out, "Jo, we're clubbing with you. Yeah!"
0:43:17 > 0:43:18I know, that's right!
0:43:22 > 0:43:26Julie and Rob have always believed Jo is pretty streetwise,
0:43:26 > 0:43:29- but on this occasion... - Can you look after our drink?
0:43:29 > 0:43:31We're just going to go to the toilet.
0:43:31 > 0:43:35No, Jo, don't, no, no, don't let them look after your drink, mate, please.
0:43:35 > 0:43:37Take your drinks with you, or throw them away.
0:43:37 > 0:43:41- Did she just say, "Can you look after my drinks?"- Yeah.
0:43:41 > 0:43:42Oh, my God.
0:43:42 > 0:43:45Well, we said that, didn't we? Not to do it.
0:43:46 > 0:43:48Unbelievable.
0:43:48 > 0:43:51Guys, we're going to go. Come with!
0:43:51 > 0:43:54Jo says she wants to go somewhere more lively,
0:43:54 > 0:43:57that could be interesting, couldn't it?
0:43:57 > 0:44:00Yeah, she's looking good.
0:44:00 > 0:44:02She's sounding confident, that's important.
0:44:02 > 0:44:05- Let's get out of here. - Let's get out of here quick.
0:44:05 > 0:44:07The party is over for the parents,
0:44:07 > 0:44:09but for the girls, the night has only just begun.
0:44:09 > 0:44:12Three, two, one.
0:44:12 > 0:44:16MUSIC: "Tequila" by Terrorvision
0:44:32 > 0:44:35Not so happy are the boys.
0:44:36 > 0:44:411:45am on their final night and have any of them managed to score?
0:44:41 > 0:44:43No.
0:44:43 > 0:44:45It hasn't happened.
0:44:45 > 0:44:48They fucked off the minute Mia dropped her shots
0:44:48 > 0:44:52and now I'm left completely without the girls.
0:44:52 > 0:44:55Oh, shit!
0:44:57 > 0:44:59Another night of frustration
0:44:59 > 0:45:03and zero lad points for the entire holiday.
0:45:03 > 0:45:07- You all right?- Far too much to drink, far too much to drink.
0:45:07 > 0:45:10Seriously, man, I have never had anything like that
0:45:10 > 0:45:11in Newcastle, right?
0:45:11 > 0:45:15Back at the hotel and John's sensibility has been replaced
0:45:15 > 0:45:18with sillybility.
0:45:18 > 0:45:22Put your hand on there, make sure he's fucking... That he's breathing.
0:45:24 > 0:45:27Yeah, he's alive, that's a good sign.
0:45:27 > 0:45:30Pulse is very low, like, but he's alive.
0:45:35 > 0:45:40The following morning and Jo's mum Julie and stepdad Rob
0:45:40 > 0:45:44are still reeling from their taste of Bangla Road.
0:45:44 > 0:45:49I have actually seen a side to Jo that's responsible and she's...
0:45:49 > 0:45:51She's gauged and she's sussed out the surroundings
0:45:51 > 0:45:54and she's decided in her own head, without anybody else telling her,
0:45:54 > 0:45:59that it's not a safe place for her to be like she is in Bristol.
0:45:59 > 0:46:01It's almost like we were wrong and Jo was right.
0:46:01 > 0:46:04At the start of the week, we wanted Jo to drink more,
0:46:04 > 0:46:07just to loosen up, get rid of the tightness.
0:46:07 > 0:46:10I think I've probably drunk more than Jo.
0:46:10 > 0:46:14Well, when it's happy hour round the bar, can't miss that.
0:46:14 > 0:46:16In only a few hours,
0:46:16 > 0:46:19the parents will reveal the truth to their offspring,
0:46:19 > 0:46:22but first a chance to hear what their kids have learnt
0:46:22 > 0:46:25from their Thai experience.
0:46:25 > 0:46:28Right, we ready then? Let's go and look and see what they got.
0:46:28 > 0:46:29Last night, isn't it?
0:46:29 > 0:46:33I do a bit around the house but not half as much as I really
0:46:33 > 0:46:36should do, but when I get home it'll probably change.
0:46:36 > 0:46:40I'll do a lot more for them and like do a lot more for myself as well,
0:46:40 > 0:46:42not treat them like my servants.
0:46:42 > 0:46:44When I get back, I want to earn my own money
0:46:44 > 0:46:47and spend like my own money rather than relying on my parents
0:46:47 > 0:46:50too heavily, so I'll probably go back, look for a full-time job,
0:46:50 > 0:46:52make my parents proud of what I'm doing and stuff like.
0:46:52 > 0:46:54Aww.
0:46:54 > 0:46:56Oh, that's lovely, isn't it?
0:46:56 > 0:46:57Oh, well.
0:46:57 > 0:47:00He's a nice lad, John, yeah, he's a very nice lad.
0:47:00 > 0:47:02That's really nice. He's learnt, hasn't he?
0:47:02 > 0:47:05- He's appreciating what he's got. - Yes. A good lad, he's a good lad.
0:47:05 > 0:47:07He's gone over the line a little bit with the fire
0:47:07 > 0:47:10and things like that, but you know on the whole,
0:47:10 > 0:47:12I think he's done himself proud. His mam, you know,
0:47:12 > 0:47:15would love to have been here. She'd be so proud watching him.
0:47:15 > 0:47:19I really thought with him being on his own without his parents,
0:47:19 > 0:47:22he would have went really wild, but he hasn't, has he, John?
0:47:22 > 0:47:25No, he's done fine, he's done fine.
0:47:25 > 0:47:27Let's see what Jo's been up to.
0:47:28 > 0:47:32Being on this trip has made me think that I'm, like, spoilt.
0:47:32 > 0:47:34Coming out here and being quite naive,
0:47:34 > 0:47:38not knowing much about the culture and the people has opened my eyes
0:47:38 > 0:47:42a lot because I've never seen anything like this before, like.
0:47:42 > 0:47:44Well, I'm gobsmacked.
0:47:44 > 0:47:48Wow. Did you see? They've...well...
0:47:48 > 0:47:51Certainly got a mature head on her shoulders, hasn't she?
0:47:51 > 0:47:54- Yeah, where's that..- That is... We never see that at home.
0:47:54 > 0:47:56We'd never see that at home.
0:47:56 > 0:47:58Genuinely, I'm so proud of her, so proud.
0:47:58 > 0:48:01At the very, very start of this whole process, I said this,
0:48:01 > 0:48:04she had no concept of how the outside world works.
0:48:04 > 0:48:06What real life's like, yeah.
0:48:06 > 0:48:09I've been proved wrong again.
0:48:10 > 0:48:13I do think that I see my stepdad as another dad.
0:48:13 > 0:48:16I'm so glad that my mum met him and I'm glad he moved in with us.
0:48:16 > 0:48:18He's not like a replacement, obviously, it's just...
0:48:18 > 0:48:20I've got two dads basically.
0:48:26 > 0:48:29- Is that the first time you've heard that, Rob?- Ever.
0:48:29 > 0:48:31- Ever.- Oh, fantastic.
0:48:40 > 0:48:45Hearing Jo talking so positively has knocked Rob for six.
0:48:45 > 0:48:48That was hard to take for a minute or two.
0:48:48 > 0:48:50Never seen you like that,
0:48:50 > 0:48:53and it takes a lot for you to be like that and it is...
0:48:53 > 0:48:57- Totally, yeah.- This... It's good, it's a good thing.
0:48:57 > 0:48:58You will cry at anything.
0:48:58 > 0:49:01I'll cry at anything. I cry at soaps, I cry at anything.
0:49:01 > 0:49:04And I have a pop at you, don't I? "Grow up."
0:49:04 > 0:49:06Emotional wreck I am.
0:49:06 > 0:49:09Jo is well-rounded and we're emotional wrecks.
0:49:12 > 0:49:16Later that afternoon, Rob and Julie prepare to reveal
0:49:16 > 0:49:18the reality of Jo's trip to Thailand.
0:49:18 > 0:49:22After this morning, even I've got butterflies after what I've heard
0:49:22 > 0:49:24this morning. I'm touched by what she said and I can't wait
0:49:24 > 0:49:26- to see her.- Yeah, we said that, didn't we?
0:49:26 > 0:49:30It's been brilliant. She's not the girl I thought she was.
0:49:30 > 0:49:33She's a better girl than I thought she was.
0:49:33 > 0:49:35She was. Oh, I can't even speak.
0:49:36 > 0:49:38My God, I'm so nervous now.
0:49:40 > 0:49:43Blissfully unaware, Jo, Shaz and Natalie are about to brave
0:49:43 > 0:49:45a final day fish pedicure.
0:49:45 > 0:49:48Wow, that's so cool.
0:49:48 > 0:49:50She's going to be so surprised.
0:49:50 > 0:49:54I don't think she will have a clue that we would be coming.
0:49:54 > 0:49:56- It's going to be amazing. - She's in there!
0:49:56 > 0:49:59I know, I know, don't, because she might pop out in a minute.
0:49:59 > 0:50:01She might look.
0:50:01 > 0:50:03They're swimming away from your feet.
0:50:03 > 0:50:07Oh, my God. I've got the shivers here, shit, shit...
0:50:08 > 0:50:10Oh, my God, does it feel weird.
0:50:10 > 0:50:13It's Jo. It's just fish.
0:50:17 > 0:50:20So excited now, I'm excited now. Not nervous, excited.
0:50:24 > 0:50:26Jo is in for the shock of her life.
0:50:28 > 0:50:31Oh, my fucking God.
0:50:31 > 0:50:35What the fuck, what the fuck, what the fuck, what the fuck?
0:50:36 > 0:50:38Your room is a pigsty!
0:50:38 > 0:50:39Oh, my God!
0:50:42 > 0:50:46You three have been hilarious, we have been pissing ourselves.
0:50:46 > 0:50:49Jo, seriously, major proud of you,
0:50:49 > 0:50:52- me and Rob have been so proud of you, all of you.- Look at it.
0:50:52 > 0:50:56- I've misjudged you. I thought you were a tearaway.- No.
0:50:56 > 0:51:00And you're not, you're a little softy, aren't you? A little softy.
0:51:00 > 0:51:01She's a grown-up, lovely young lady.
0:51:01 > 0:51:04Mum, please, just stop this.
0:51:04 > 0:51:07We're going clubbing with you tonight.
0:51:07 > 0:51:09- No, you're not!- Yeah!
0:51:14 > 0:51:17Oh, I literally can't believe that you're here.
0:51:17 > 0:51:20Oh, it's nice to see you though, Jo, we've been really proud of you.
0:51:20 > 0:51:22Really proud of you.
0:51:22 > 0:51:24- We have seen you mature... - Apart from the room.
0:51:24 > 0:51:26No, no, you might not think you have, but you've come out
0:51:26 > 0:51:31and you say things and we didn't think that Jo is capable
0:51:31 > 0:51:35- of saying those things, but there's been a responsible side of you this week.- Yeah.
0:51:35 > 0:51:39We've learnt a lot and we've learnt that you need to have your space.
0:51:39 > 0:51:43I'm not going to fuss around you and clean your room and do any of that.
0:51:43 > 0:51:46I'm going to back off now and just let you do your own thing,
0:51:46 > 0:51:48- but I'm going to be there if you need me.- Yeah.
0:51:48 > 0:51:50A little bit I wanted you to back off,
0:51:50 > 0:51:54then I probably still want you there to like advise me.
0:51:54 > 0:51:57- Yeah, well, I'm there, I'm only... - But not tell me.
0:51:57 > 0:52:00..steps away from you, it's just the waking you up in the morning
0:52:00 > 0:52:03- and things like that. - I can do that.
0:52:03 > 0:52:06- You can do that. - Yeah.
0:52:06 > 0:52:07Don't cry.
0:52:07 > 0:52:09It's been an amazing experience,
0:52:09 > 0:52:13we've learnt a lot about ourselves as well as our daughter
0:52:13 > 0:52:17and I think that's the best really that we can really hope for.
0:52:17 > 0:52:19It'd be nice to think that on the other foot,
0:52:19 > 0:52:22Jo is going to appreciate us a bit more
0:52:22 > 0:52:24and perhaps help out with chores around the house.
0:52:24 > 0:52:26- That'd be nice. - If she says she will,
0:52:26 > 0:52:28then now we've got this new responsible adult
0:52:28 > 0:52:30living in the family,
0:52:30 > 0:52:32then we'll take it that she will do it.
0:52:32 > 0:52:34I do feel like I am slightly more grown-up.
0:52:34 > 0:52:36It'll probably change when I get back.
0:52:38 > 0:52:41In the hills of Phuket, John Sr and nan Joyce
0:52:41 > 0:52:44are also preparing to break cover.
0:52:44 > 0:52:48I hope he's not totally embarrassed that me and his nana's here
0:52:48 > 0:52:51and it upsets his holiday, which he's had a fantastic one.
0:52:51 > 0:52:52But I'm just so excited to see him,
0:52:52 > 0:52:54I've been like a cat on hot bricks for the last...
0:52:54 > 0:52:58He's been like a panther. You couldn't sit down, could you, pet?
0:53:00 > 0:53:03John and the boys are getting their kicks in a big plastic ball,
0:53:03 > 0:53:06known as Zorbing.
0:53:13 > 0:53:14I'm really excited to see him.
0:53:14 > 0:53:17Can't wait to see his little face when he sees we're...
0:53:17 > 0:53:19His little face, bless him.
0:53:31 > 0:53:33Fuck!
0:53:47 > 0:53:49Oh, my God.
0:53:49 > 0:53:51Hello, John, son.
0:53:55 > 0:53:59- Hello, son. All right? - All right.
0:53:59 > 0:54:03- Love you.- Yup. Had a good time. Why are you crying?
0:54:06 > 0:54:07Good to see you.
0:54:07 > 0:54:10You too. Hi, Nan.
0:54:10 > 0:54:12Hi.
0:54:12 > 0:54:14- Oh, man.- Hiya, John.
0:54:14 > 0:54:17We've been watching what you've been up to.
0:54:17 > 0:54:20- Been good, haven't I? - Not too bad.
0:54:20 > 0:54:22How long have yous been here?
0:54:22 > 0:54:23Well, not too long.
0:54:23 > 0:54:27Been watching you, and what was with the fire?
0:54:27 > 0:54:29Oh, aye, just daft.
0:54:29 > 0:54:31What would happen if the smoke alarm had gone off, son?
0:54:31 > 0:54:34- You'd have emptied the whole hotel. - Just stupid.
0:54:34 > 0:54:36Did you throw it?
0:54:36 > 0:54:38Yeah, it was me. I won't do it again.
0:54:38 > 0:54:40You'd better not.
0:54:44 > 0:54:47It was absolutely crazy, like, when I was going down the Zorb
0:54:47 > 0:54:51and then got to the bottom and I've seen some white, bald guy,
0:54:51 > 0:54:53I kind of thought, "Who's this?"
0:54:53 > 0:54:57And then in pops your head, pretty crazy.
0:54:57 > 0:55:01John, you'll not realise this until you're a dad yourself but when
0:55:01 > 0:55:04your son goes away for his first holiday, you're bloody nervous.
0:55:04 > 0:55:07You know, you do so much and everything else
0:55:07 > 0:55:09and you've done yourself and your mam so proud.
0:55:09 > 0:55:12If you had the chance, would you do it all again?
0:55:12 > 0:55:14Probably, yeah, I'd do it all again
0:55:14 > 0:55:17but hopefully without yous two watching my every move.
0:55:22 > 0:55:26We've been a bit sneaky, we've seen some close-ups that we never
0:55:26 > 0:55:29would have seen of him and how he's acted with his mates,
0:55:29 > 0:55:32but he seems to have taken it on the chin well and I just...
0:55:32 > 0:55:34I'm really proud of what I've seen, you know.
0:55:34 > 0:55:36They were just lads having a good time.
0:55:36 > 0:55:38They were getting drunk, trying different meals.
0:55:38 > 0:55:43Just things my generation did, but not in Thailand.
0:55:43 > 0:55:45Like, I'm not going to break any promises,
0:55:45 > 0:55:49I will try and help out a bit more around the house and just show
0:55:49 > 0:55:53how appreciative I am of them, like helping me out during the years
0:55:53 > 0:55:57of growing up, now it's my time to grow up and help them out a bit.
0:55:57 > 0:56:01What you don't realise, John, is when you come into this world, right,
0:56:01 > 0:56:06I caught you coming out and I pulled you out, so when I was grabbing you
0:56:06 > 0:56:10out of that ball, it felt like it was giving birth to the man.
0:56:10 > 0:56:13- Could you be any more cheesy? - No, I don't think I could!
