Episode 6 Sun, Sex and Suspicious Parents

This programme contains strong language

The freedom of your first-ever, far-flung, long-haul holiday

away with your mates. 6,000 miles away from home

to Thailand, where booze comes in buckets...

boys will be boys...

and girls may be boys too.

I've seen one of their willies.

A baptism of fire,

far from the glaring eyes of Mum and Dad.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God!

Except, in this case,

the parents have come along too...

spying on the sly...

Oh, my God, I can see him, he's..

..secretly watching their every move.

Oh, jeez.

Drop.

But as the youngsters stumble merrily

down the fast lane to independence...

Go away.

-Look at the state of him!

-You've just got to give me a minute.

..one way or another...

Oh!

..someone is about to get...

-Is that you doing that?

-..the shock of their lives.

-Why are you here?

-I'm not doing it.

Coming up, two 20-somethings

go on the adventure of a lifetime

to Koh Samui in Thailand.

Titties!

But will easily-influenced Billy...

..finally learn to stand up for himself?

Oi, oi, oi, oi, oi, oi, come here.

And can Muslim girl Agi...

Don't talk to me like that.

I don't care, I'm getting out of here.

..stick to her family's strict religious principles?

I feel like I want a margarita now.

And when the parents go undercover...

I'm just not a slag like you.

..will they like what they see?

Oh, my God.

Just how will the kids react?

Why are you here?

Stitched up big time.

21-year-old graphic design student Billy

shares a flat with his uni mates in Bristol.

This is my student house, this is the party house,

had some great nights here, too many to account for.

In his mum's eyes, Billy can do no wrong.

I am a really proud mum.

I don't think he could do anything that would upset me.

Billy manages to study AND pay his own way.

I have a part-time job as well as working around uni.

I'd say I'm quite good with money, I budget well.

I think just by the very fact

that he hasn't come to me to help him out financially

shows that he's made some good choices about budgeting.

But since Billy moved out,

single mum Jan knows nothing about his social life.

I've tried to add Billy several times on Facebook

but he refuses to have me as a friend.

No Facebook for Mum.

-SHE LAUGHS

-There's definitely things

that she doesn't know about me and that she doesn't need to know.

It would be amazing to be a fly on the wall

and to see exactly how he behaves on a night out, for sure.

Billy is at his happiest when out partying with his friends.

Three bottles of Sol, please, and three Jagerbombs.

Great night out would be waking up in the morning

feeling absolutely wounded,

and sort of asking yourself and everyone what's happened.

I definitely know my drinking limit,

erm...

but I also don't pay attention to it.

Travelling with Billy on their limitless trip to Thailand

are his best friends...

..ringleader Jay...

I know my limit and I know their limit

and, when I see they've reached their limit,

I try and push them over.

..and ladies' man Ali.

And the birds are going to be, like, steaming hot,

I want to see bikinis off, tits out - boom.

Billy takes his role in the gang very seriously.

I am the drunk fool of the group.

Drinks a little too much, get a bit carried away.

Billy is a don at drinking Jagerbombs.

Don't really touch the sides.

Cheers.

'Ali, without a doubt,'

will encourage us into doing shots and all this

and, before we know it, everything's gone out the window

and we are absolutely out of it by sort of one o'clock in the morning.

mum Jan is concerned that Billy is easily influenced.

I'm hoping that nobody leads him astray in Thailand,

however if he's had a few drinks inside him, he might be different.

-Are you planning to drink every night?

-I will at some point be very, very, very, very drunk.

Don't worry, I'm a grown man now, Mum, I don't live with you any more,

I'm very independent.

I have talked to him about giving your liver a rest

and safe limits on drinking.

For Billy and the boys,

Thailand will be a whole new experience.

It's a little bit different to Majorca or somewhere, like,

you know, like, where you are going there to try and pull women

and get as absolutely smashed as you can.

Thailand, you've sort of, like, got the choice out of the two.

And I think we definitely want to do both,

but I know we're going to have a horrible night out at some point.

I know there's going to be a ridiculous night out.

The reason why I'm going to go to Thailand

is because he won't take me on a night out voluntarily,

so I'm doing the ultimate night out and following him out there.

In Essex, 22-year-old Agi

lives at home with her mum, Fatou.

Right now I'm...

I'm living in a massive bubble, sort of trudging through life.

Agi is struggling to find a balance

between her strict Muslim upbringing and the lure of Western attractions.

I'm, you know, like, an African, essentially,

raised in Europe.

You can't hold those old-school African standards over me,

it's different, we have different temptations here.

And one of those temptations is alcohol.

When it comes to me and Islam and, like, you know,

maybe having a drink, I know what I'm doing,

I know if it's right or wrong.

Pray for forgiveness, man, you've got to get on those knees and pray.

Her mum Fatou is convinced Agi steers clear of booze.

If I see Agi drink, I'll be shocked.

I tell my mum if my... if my friends got drunk

and then she still gets the message,

so I have my little sly ways of being like,

"This is what went down."

My only concern is that I've heard about

all these wild parties and all those things.

Well, I know you don't drink, so those things, I'm not..

I'm not bothered about.

Well, we're not going to go and get the vodka buckets or anything like that.

Being around all those places in the midst of people like that...

Yeah, but I'm going to be with two responsible girls.

Fatou expects big things from Agi,

but a lack of focus

has already seen her drop out of three universities.

Even when I went to London Met and I did law for that term,

I realised that it wasn't what I thought it would be.

I'm super-indecisive and the more I grow, the more I realise.

Sometimes it's good for you to do things for yourself,

and finish it before you start with something else.

'I think she'd wish that I did a lot more for myself,

'but I'm working on it.'

In a bid to please Mum,

Agi is about to start a fourth uni course.

I'm going to be a perpetual student for my whole life.

And she hopes the trip to Thailand

will help relieve some of her stress.

I want to go to Thailand because right now there's pressures,

like university, get a career, do this, do that.

It'll be nice just to go away

and, like, not have to think about any of that

and just sort of, like, live.

Joining Agi are flirty Aisha...

This is who I am.

And "yes" girl Moria.

I'll say yes, but I'll say yes with caution.

You're an idiot.

And despite what Fatou thinks,

these girls intend to party.

-I love cider. Spritzers.

-Tequila.

-I'm more picky.

Whisky.

Thailand will be the girls' first-ever trip away together,

and Agi has her concerns.

We could end up going and hating each other.

We could, but I doubt it.

Although they're grown-ups,

they still need their parent to guide one way or the other.

In Bristol, Billy is excitedly anticipating his long-haul escapade.

-Would you wear these?

-Erm...

-Holiday glasses.

-You could say that.

-No, I think I'll leave them here.

Bye!

Billy and his close mates are eager to get the partying under way.

-You take care.

-Thanks, see you soon.

-You take care and I love you.

-Bye.

-Bye.

But little does he know, his mum will be watching his every move.

Hope you give the liver a rest, mate, I really do.

-I will do.

-I'll see you sooner than you think.

In the middles. Yes!

I feel quite emotional.

Over in Essex...

Agi is saying goodbye to the pressures of home life

in exchange for a week of freedom.

Hi!

She is totally unaware that her mum Fatou

will be tagging along too.

-Bye.

-Bye. See you sooner than you think!

My mum was like, "Oh, I know you don't drink,

"I know you don't do this."

It's like she was sort of, like, telling me,

like, in a subliminal way, not to do it.

Koh Samui in Thailand,

home of idyllic beaches,

stunning scenery and fascinating culture.

And every year, thousands of young British tourists

flock to the island

for drinking, dancing, and partying until dawn.

First to arrive are Agi, Moria and Aisha.

6,000 miles from home

and the girls are eager to experience a different culture.

Do they have, like, shopping malls, do they have, like...

-There'll be a few here, maybe a couple.

-Shopping mall?

-What's their high street like?

The shopping will have to wait while the girls check in to their hotel.

Oh, the bed's nice as well.

-Is it?

-Yay.

Showers, then let's just go out and about.

We're going to get into our...

our clothes, and then we'll just take a tour, just go.

I don't really understand that...

It's bath-sized shower.

It's just a funny shower!

With the pressures of home life melting away,

Agi is keen to let her hair down.

I think we're all really just ready to, like, go out and have fun.

After a 17-hour journey,

Billy and the boys are getting thirsty.

-I want a beer, it's beer o'clock.

-You were on the plane...

-Innit?

If I was on my own, it would all be about the culture,

but because I've got Ali and Jay with me, I think...

What are you talking about? This guy.

I've not been anywhere like here before.

What's all that about? Drink, drink, drink, pussy.

Want to see a ping-pong show when I'm a little bit drunk, yeah?

-Catch it with your mouth.

-Could they, like, flick it into my mouth instead? Is it?

Tonight, anyway, I'm going to be the sheep

and follow whatever goes on

and I'm not going to flake out, I'm going to keep up.

Shotgun.

Shotgun!

A race to grab the best beds...

Me and you Ali, let's go.

Me and Ali are keeping each other company at night.

Bummos all night.

..and they've struck lucky.

They've got the honeymoon suite.

Some bottles up in here,

to get us started tonight.

Not any vodka, like, a bit of, you know, class to our vodka as well,

because we are classy men, we like classy women, don't we?

Ali's ladyboy lube.

Ladyboy lube, all right, then, yeah.

Ali, anal's not pretty, mate,

these are some nice white sheets, mate,

and Billy's got to sleep there.

Ali, you are definitely the ruthless one,

I have a bit more dignity than you.

-No, it's fun, do you know what I mean?

-Shag.

-It's fun.

Thailand is renowned as THE place to lay back and relax.

Agh! Aagh!

Oh, my back! Aagh!

What next? That's our level?

The girls are taking full advantage.

Aisha, control yourself.

-Strictly... And it's...

-No.

-What is that?

-Sexy bum. Sexy bum.

-Oh, thank you.

I feel violated a little bit, you know? Just saying, guys.

For once, Agi is at ease,

and that even stretches to her bank balance.

So I took out... I took out 10,000.

That's what, £200?

A little bit more.

Oh, really? Oh!

Next, it's time to indulge in some forbidden fruits.

-Can I have a mojito, please?

-Can we have three mojitos?

-Three mojitos.

With a strict no-drinking policy at home...

Thailand, we are here. Chink-chink-chink.

..it won't be a happy hour for Agi's mum when she sees this.

That's really tasty.

Early evening, and the boys still haven't left the hotel.

I may as well do the honours, yeah?

It's confession time.

Never have I ever lasted 30 seconds with a girl.

Really drunk, my cock didn't work once.

THEY LAUGHS

Never have I ever...

had a girl attempt to stick her finger up my bum.

-Whatever you drink tonight, I'll drink.

-We'll hold you to that as well.

You are going to be on your arse, mate. Serious!

HE BURPS

Never have I ever fingered a bird in a club.

Oh, for fuck's sake, I'm going to have to drink to that as well.

Just for, like, banter and jokes,

I probably will, like, kiss a ladyboy, but nothing more than that.

If Ali was to get with a ladyboy and I did after, I wouldn't feel as bad about it.

I'm not saying that I want to, but, like...

So, basically, what you're trying to say, you want sloppy seconds?

Speaking of Thailand's third sex...

Right, they look like they could be ladyboys. Oh, yeah.

-Ah, you've got it already, man.

-Big hands, big feet, oh...

Yaow!

Oh, it's kind of scary...

seeing these ladyboys in action.

Something really surreal

and almost like a nightmare.

Chink-chink!

Billy is determined to prove he's one of the lads.

Whoo!

I'm going to get a double... double amaretto and coke.

And when the guys meet some Aussie girls,

Billy proudly shows off his Jagerbomb skills.

And now it's a competition to see who can pull first.

See what's going on, see what options are available.

Not going to build my hopes up,

but, you know, if there's a chance in there

then, bang, get straight on it.

-Is it just you three?

-Huh? Yeah, yeah, just us three.

-Are you all friends?

-Yeah, yeah, real close friends.

Ali, especially, straight in there,

down to the point - I like you, let's fuck.

The drinks are also flowing for the girls.

I am also going to have the lemon daiquiri.

-SHE CORRECTS PRONUNCIATION:

-Daiquiri.

Daiquiri. Amazing, I love my cocktails!

Despite supposedly not being a drinker,

Agi is certainly in the spirit...

..and drinking buckets inevitably leads...

to dancing.

MUSIC: "Renegade Master" Fatboy Slim ft Wildchild

Dancing and flirting...

..and forgetting all about the stresses back home.

What the fuck happened there, seriously?

None of the boys' chat-up lines have been met with any success

and Billy is starting to tire.

But he's not calling it a night just yet.

# Oh, oh, oh

# As you shoot across the sky-y-y

# Baby, you're a firework

# Come on, let your colours burst

# Make 'em go oh, oh, oh... #

-Yo, what's happening?

-Find out what...

24 hours since leaving home, and Billy is exhausted.

Ali, I'm calling it a night, I'm pretty fucked,

I need my bed to be fair, like, conked. KO for me.

-All right, basically I've got two words for you...

-Pu-ssy.

..it's light...weight.

First night in Thailand, I'm in bed already,

it's only quarter past one,

but, you know, we've done a fair amount tonight,

we got pissed, we met a few women.

The girls are out-partying the boys.

-I love Thailand.

-Same.

-I love it.

-I love Thailand.

This is beyond my expectations.

Aisha has also managed to pull a fella.

Aisha has run off with what seems to be the love of her life right now.

But though initially happy for her, Agi is now getting annoyed.

Now we have to wait on her and I think it's a bit...

a little bit inconsiderate.

What fucking time is it? I want to go home.

Let's go find them, come on, let's do this.

I'm going to reprimand her, this is ridiculous.

Let's walk, our hotel's somewhere along there. All right, let's go.

OK, let's go, guys, we'll wait till you get up first.

Aisha isn't ready to return home just yet.

Are you not... Your father is standing right there.

I'm all for this Romeo and Juliet, star-crossed lovers...

-Excuse me, they're in love.

-They're in love?!

-Yeah, can't you tell?

They're as much in love as you and I are right now...

-We're not in love...

-Exact... Thank you very much.

Come on, then, get up. Let's go.

Agi's strict upbringing has clearly rubbed off,

as she refuses to let Aisha leave.

You guys walk in front, I need... Aisha! The hotel's over THERE!

Aisha! Stop walking NOW!

I swear, so God help me.

Like, you're taking the piss right now.

We're going to walk together, you guys come, you just sit at the pool.

Sure, sure, we'll walk...

So far... So far as we know where Aisha is, it's not a big deal.

Aisha is on the beach, she's fine, we're fine.

It's just that running away,

that running away part really just, like, really annoyed me.

Really annoyed me.

We came here as a group,

we have responsibility for each other.

Day two, and Billy, Jay and Ali

have taken to the high seas.

The perfect way to clear your head after a night out on the town.

Yeah, that was so much fun. Ali went mental.

74mph. Boom.

But while the boys regale each other with their aquatic heroics,

the owner of the Jet Skis wants a word with Billy.

He's claiming Billy has damaged his Jet Ski.

I've been charged 3,000 baht for apparently bumping into someone.

Some bullshit like that.

Billy may have cleared his head,

but he's also cleared his bank balance.

-Are you all right, man?

-No, I'm pissed off.

Of course I'm pissed off, that's just cost me, like, two days out.

Yeah, but at least he didn't call the police.

It's not that though, it's bullshit.

I knew this would happen, I said from the beginning

I didn't want to do Jet Skis for that one fucking reason.

But.. I'm not even going to say anything.

I know we done it, I know.

If Billy gets strapped for cash he could always call his mum.

In fact, he could just as easily pop around and see her

because, unbeknown to him,

his mum, Jan, has just arrived with family friend Andi.

Along with Agi's mum, Fatou, and Auntie Ramou.

Jan, nice to meet you.

-I'm Fatou, how are you doing?

-Nice to meet you, Fatou.

-Nice to meet you, Ramou, I'm Jan.

-Jan, yeah, nice...

Hoping to see a part of Billy that I haven't seen before.

The most intimate, close relationships with his friends that we don't normally see.

I'm hoping to see our morals and the...

Our culture, I mean, we...

are African, coming from a very cultural background.

My son works in a bar,

so he's been very used to having alcohol around him for a long time

and he's part of the, you know, British drinking culture,

he likes to drink on a weekend.

What about your daughter, does she drink much?

No, I've never seen Agi drink and we don't drink in our house,

we are brought up not drinking and...

and we just carry that culture around.

-If she drank, it would shock you.

-Yeah, yeah, it really...

I think I'd be shocked if Billy didn't drink, to be honest.

After last night's fallout with Aisha, the girls have kissed

and made up and are headed out for a spot of lunch.

Yeah, shall we? It looks really nice.

Let's just make...

Their peaceful meal however is soon interrupted.

What's on fire? What's on fire?

The restaurant's on fire.

Oh, Jesus Christ.

Fuck.

Let's get the fuck out, get the fuck out.

In all seriousness, get the fuck out, come on.

The restaurant fills with people

desperately fleeing the fire next door.

Where shall we go? Aisha?

Agi, can you shut the fuck up.

Aisha, what are you going to do? Go and see the fire?

Let's go out of here. It's not only about you, come on.

Don't talk to me like that.

I don't care, I'm getting out of here.

Agi and Aisha's early morning truce has gone up in flames.

Agi returns home alone and annoyed.

They're going to take care of it, they don't need people

loitering around making things... hyping things up.

That's what I think. So I left.

They can do whatever they want.

Aisha and Moria soon arrive back.

-Are you ready?

-Just go, I'll catch up with you.

-Why?

-Cos I feel like just staying here, chilling for a bit.

-Why are you in a bad mood?

-Because I feel like it.

But Agi is in an unforgiving mood.

I probably do have a short temper...

..but it doesn't really... I don't, like, explode often,

but when I do it's not fun,

like physically I feel like...

it's like rage, you know, I see red.

Do you like the green ones?

HE MUMBLES

One thousand.

Agi's undoubtedly under pressure back home, but whatever

the reason for her sudden temper, Aisha just wishes Agi would open up.

Agi's just kind of like,

she's just playing up like, and I don't know why.

If there's something on her mind then she should just say it,

like as opposed to kind of like just being short-tempered with

someone and being completely irrational, it's just better just to be like...

I don't know, it's just unnecessary.

Maybe Agi would be more upbeat if she knew

she could turn to her mum Fatou, who is literally around the corner.

As the time has come for the parents to see what their children

have been up to, Billy's mum Jan is hoping to be enlightened.

I'd like to learn a little bit more about Billy and who he is,

see what he's like with his friends, see how he engages with them,

makes conversation. See if there's any intellect involved.

Fatou is hopeful Agi will stick to her strict moral upbringing.

A big no-no for me would be like seeing Agi getting drunk

and getting on the floor.

That is absolutely not what we do.

-Hi, Fatou, how are you?

-Hello, I'm fine.

-Hello.

Are we a little bit nervous about this?

-A little bit, yeah.

-Yeah, so am I, a bit apprehensive.

-I feel like I'm going to be really, really badly...

-What's happening?

..but in a good way influenced by Ali.

-Oh, no, don't be influenced by Ali.

-Oh, no.

Want to see a ping-pong show when I'm a bit drunk, you know.

They're going to play ping-pong?

-How embarrassing.

-How does he know about that?

That would definitely get the night started I reckon.

I just can't believe, the thought of him talking about, you know,

the degrading things that women do in those sorts of shows.

-It's not good.

-Don't think he enjoyed that either.

He hasn't even drunk his first one, he's making him drink a second one.

-Drinking too fast.

-He's in a hurry Ali, isn't he?

Never have I ever.. lasted 30 seconds with a..

-'No!

-Did he just admit to something?'

Really drunk and didn't fucking work once.

WOMEN CHUCKLE

Billy!

Never have I ever...

had a girl attempt to stick her finger up my bum.

Oh, no, that's disgusting.

-Well, I never.

-Well.

-That was a bit of a revelation, wasn't it?

-All the talk about...

-What they've done.

-They might be saying things..

-Not necessarily true.

Yeah, not necessarily true, just to make themselves...

-Trying to big themselves up in front of their friends.

-Yes.

He's not thinking about us watching him because he doesn't know, obviously.

Because he doesn't know.

Oh, my days!

Chink chink.

Oh, he's finishing it.

Yeah, I think he's struggling a bit with it.

-He looks slightly...

-He's hammered already, isn't he?

-He is, isn't he?

-Oh, my God.

BOYS SHOUTING

-It looks like he was drinking under duress a little bit there, didn't it?

-Yes, yes.

I think he felt he had to do it.

Yeah, yeah, I think some sort of a peer pressure is there.

-I think from Ali, yeah, especially.

-Yeah, yeah.

Well, he can always say "no", you know.

Jan is feeling uneasy about hearing Billy discuss intimate details.

I think the most uncomfortable part for me was when he was playing

the truth game and he was talking about his own sexual experiences.

That's a little bit cringey, I don't want to hear all about that.

Well, that's my son done, it's your turn next.

I never thought I was going to be nervous like this.

So I took out...I took out 10,000. That's what, £200?

Oh, my God, 10,000 in a day? That is definitely not planning.

Oh, my God.

-Are you worried about her spending that much money?

-Yeah, I am because...

because normally what will happen is that when she travels

and she doesn't have money, she...

she will be straight, "Oh, Mum".

You're very kind.

You're very kind, too.

'She's got a cocktail.

'Yeah, all got one each.

'A bucket.'

JAN: And another.

JAN: That's a Martini.

-Can we get three... Three..

-JAN: And another.

They're amazing, I love my cocktails.

-She likes.

-Certainly enjoying their drinks, aren't they?

She can pronounce them though, can't she?

She said, "Cocktails," I don't know if it's alcohol. I heard her saying

that "I don't mind if they're having their shots,

"I'm just going to stick to my cocktails"

-So they might not even be alcoholic cocktails, OK.

-Yes, yes, yes.

-We don't... We haven't had that clarified that they are alcohol or not.

-Yeah.

More Aussies, more cocktails, more dancing.

JAN: Good moves. Good moves, no fear. Ooh, male attention.

Let's have a look.

-ANDI:

-Some boys are about.

I'm seeing something here,

it's going to quite blow up by the end of the week.

Do you think so?

-Yes.

-Well, she's being responsible.

Yeah, she...

Fatou seems to be in denial that Agi's cocktails contain alcohol.

From what I've seen, she's not drinking alcohol,

it was cocktail and it was...

It can be different kinds of cocktails like fruits

and all that, that's what I see when they are drinking,

so it wasn't alcohol, so I'm pleased to see that.

Agi has finally calmed down and decided to give her mum

a quick call.

Hi.

She thinks mum Fatou is at home in Essex,

when actually she's only five minutes down the road.

Mum, oh, my gosh, we went out last night, Thailand is crazy.

I've been so busy going up

and down in the house just doing things, you know.

-Yep.

-Well, tell me about Thailand, how is it?

How is it down there?

I absolutely love it. We were saying earlier on that we want to stay,

so I'm going to stay, Mum.

So you want to stay?

Have you been a good girl?

Have you been drinking or anything, Agi?

I've had cocktails.

Well, when you come back you will tell me about the cocktails

and then maybe I will have some here.

You take care of yourself, Agi, yeah?

-Bye.

-Yeah, take care, bye-bye now.

Oh, my God, I feel so sneaky.

Here am I in four-poster bed, enjoying myself, you know.

I'm spying on her and telling her

I am so busy and I am doing this and that.

Convinced that Agi is not drinking alcohol, Fatou has a new

concern, that Agi will drop out of uni for the fourth time.

Agi just told me on the phone

that, "Oh, this place is so exciting and it's fun,

"I might just stay here, I want to stay". Knowing Agi,

knowing that she has been into two different places in universities

and then have changed her mind in courses and things that she wants

to do, she's quite spontaneous,

she can just say, "OK, I'm going to stay."

I'm hoping that that's just fun,

it's just something that she's just talking and saying that she'll

just go back home and go back to uni and continue doing what she's doing.

Fucking hell.

I'm dreading the fact that you want to get absolutely smashed

-again tonight.

-Of course, bro.

Last night, Billy got ribbed for being a lightweight.

But despite his reservations, tonight he's out to prove a point.

-Are you all right?

-Yeah.

There's women, tits and alcohol everywhere

and it's beautiful hot weather. I'm fucking loving it.

Best bro! Ahh!

Billy is used to being the butt of his mates' jokes.

But nothing can dull Billy's enthusiasm as tonight

they're on a mission to score - and the boys know just the place.

We're going to go and see the wet T-shirt competition

and see some titties.

-Come on lads, come on lads, come on lads.

-See some boobies!

But what they don't know is that Billy's mum

and her friend Andi will be there too.

It's going to be weird.

It is, seeing him, but not being able to touch him or call out or anything.

Do you know what? I think our Billy's going to love this.

-He will.

-He's going to be thriving on this.

Would Billy be thriving if he knew who was spying on him

from a secret room?

Oh, my God, it's my Billy.

CHEERING

Probably not.

BOYS CHEER

Totally unaware, Billy is in his element.

Look, they've got a water gun or something.

He's taking pictures of that lovely young lady doing a special dance.

I think he's enjoying this bit

because he hasn't taken his eyes off her yet.

Boobies!

Ooh, looking this way.

The boys move in on the girls.

-You were amazing.

-No!

Oi...

They're chatting up the girls now, all of them.

Yeah, definitely chatting them up.

What?

I'm just trying to stay.

Billy's chat-up line is having little success.

What?

But Jan is just delighted to see him having fun.

He's on holiday, he's got to enjoy it,

every minute of it, so he should.

He's a young lad, he's bound to.

I don't think I'm shockable.

He's my son and I'm going to love him no matter what he does.

Night's been amazing tonight, seen loads of boobs,

been squirting loads of boobs with water pistols.

Been keeping each other entertained, moving from bar to bar, had

a fucking great night, completely new experience, but loving it.

The frosty relationship between Agi, Moria

and Aisha had gone into the deep freeze but the girls are back

to being best of friends -

and back on the fruit-based cocktails.

Aisha, come on, sit here.

I can't sit on that, my arse. Is it really cold?

Wait, do they have a...

It's a nice novelty, it's like nice being like, we're in an ice bar,

but it's fucking cold.

I can't come in!

Guys, just drink up, it'll be OK.

Things soon start to hot up and Agi is finally beginning to relax,

again.

Well like, fuck it, whatever like,

we're just like, oh, whatever, let's just have fun like.

MUSIC: "Get Lucky" by Daft Punk

Whilst the girls are getting on famously,

it's the boys' turn to have a barney.

It seems Jay and Ali secretly met some girls

and were planning on sneaking out to meet them without Billy.

I know you don't like mean it, but just...

-I'm not being funny, Jay, I took you on holiday.

-I'm so sorry man.

-I took you, as in I invited you.

-What, so I should be grateful you took me?

-Oi, we're all on holiday.

-You should be fucking grateful.

We're all here to have a good time, I don't know why you're arguing.

At the end of the day, if he's coming in here, sneaking out

on the phones to go and meet girls but taking you with you

and saying, "No, Billy, you can't come with." Who are you to do that?

-OK, who are the girls? Do you know them?

-Yeah, the black girl and the girl I spoke to.

-No, you're an idiot, you don't even know.

-Whatever, don't care, do whatever you want to do.

-OK fine.

Billy wants to come along, they only know us,

they only want us to come and I told Billy.

He got really upset, told me to fuck off, told me this is his holiday,

he's invited me. He told me basically to fuck off and go home.

-Billy.

-I'm here, you're making secret phone calls to girls...

-I'm making a phone call in front of you.

-Girls you met tonight,

-you were pointing at Ali saying "Let's go meet them".

-Did you meet them?

-Oi, Billy.

I'm not telling you to fuck off, if you guys want to do your thing...

Oi, oi, oi. Oi, oi, oi! oi, oi, come here.

I'm not going to have his stubbornness

and his selfishness ruin my holiday,

so if something like this happens again and he's threatened to

go home, let him go home and me and Ali will happily carry on partying.

His loss at the end of the day.

The parents are coming together to see what the youngsters have

been up to for a second time.

Agi's mum Fatou is still trying to

cling on to the belief that she doesn't drink.

The kids can do anything they want

and I'm just worried that Agi might fall into...

under pressure with all friends around and people

and doing the same thing, like drinking alcohol and all that

and she'll do that, because she doesn't normally drink,

she doesn't drink alcohol. By seeing everybody doing it

and she's not doing it, might feel that,

"Oh, OK, maybe I'm a bit nervous," something like that, "maybe I should do the same thing."

-Hi, Fatou.

-Hiya.

-How are you, are you OK?

-Hello.

-Hi, love.

-Hi there.

-Hiya.

-Nice to see you again.

-Yeah, you too.

We're like, fuck it, whatever like, we're just like,

oh, whatever, let's just have fun.

Dancing with the bag.

Go, girl, dance.

I don't know if it is still alcohol that she was drinking,

because you can be non-alcoholic drinking.

There was probably alcohol in the cocktails from what she was saying.

I feel like, "Oh, God."

Finally, the penny has dropped and Fatou has no choice

but to acknowledge that Agi really is drinking alcohol.

That was quite a shock first time hearing it, saying about

drinking alcohol, she mentioned that she have gin in her cocktail.

-Yes.

-I don't like it at all, I mean because it's not,

it's not part of us, alcohol is not part of what we do.

Were you a drinker much when you were a youngster?

-Did you drink a lot?

-I never drink, I don't drink, no.

-You didn't.

She's not been raised with alcohol in her environment,

so how she's handling it was your main worry?

-Yes.

-Because she's not had it growing up.

Yeah, because I never know, I mean, how it's going to be.

Next up is Billy.

How do you feel seeing Billy's name on the...

I feel quite apprehensive about what's about to happen.

My stomach's going a little bit.

Oh, fucking hell.

-Ali definitely leads me astray.

-Yeah.

-Especially last night.

-I thought that.

Yeah, she said that.

He was just all about getting as drunk as possible and finding women.

I think he's kind of admitted to being easily led.

-Yes, yes.

-And following.

-He's in control of it though.

-It's the peer pressure.

-Yeah. Of course, yeah.

Billy might be interested in boys, he might have come to Thailand, had an epiphany!

Jay, no! Jay. Oh, he's such a...

Oi. Oi, Billy!

I'm not telling you to fuck off, if you guys want to do your thing...

Oi, oi, oi, oi, oi, oi, come here.

DOOR SLAMS

-I recognise that, slamming doors.

-I'm really unhappy about that.

-Yeah, it's not fair.

-It's not fair.

-It's not fair on Billy.

It's his holiday and he wants them to be enjoying with him.

Exactly, what difference does it make

if three or four of five of them go, it's a party?

Yeah, they're supposed to be together, exactly.

Why didn't they say to them, "We've got Billy with us"?

The thought of Billy being left out has left Jan upset.

I felt quite sad for Billy, I felt...

I felt like he was being let down a little bit by his mates.

I hope they sorted it all out but I did feel there was

a little bit of unfairness going on in terms of

what his mates were trying to do and how they were leaving him behind.

Determined not to be left behind, Billy has decided to call the shots.

So we need to get a taxi to go to the temple.

-Buddha.

-Go to see Buddha. Go and see the temple and shit.

Right, so let's get a taxi, right.

With only two days left on their holiday,

Billy has persuaded the boys to squeeze in some culture.

Don't say anything, don't say "temple" because we're not going...

All right.

Billy hasn't quite forgiven Jay.

Yes, brother.

This is what it's about, like,

this is one thing I really wanted to do and now we're doing it.

Maybe the calming influence of a Buddhist temple will help Billy relax.

Being here today's sort of reminded me that being in Thailand is

not all about going out and getting drunk all the time.

You've really got to appreciate what it has to offer.

Being here right now, I'm not going to forget something like this,

this is a memory that's going to stay with me for ever.

My mum would be glad that I came somewhere like here,

show that I'm not just the type of person that goes out

getting pissed every night.

Having come through their ups and downs, Agi and the girls

are beginning to open up about the pressures back in the UK.

At home, you feel like you're under pressure to do well at high school,

then you go on to uni, you feel you have to go to uni...

And breaks are frowned upon, it's like, "Oh, why are you going to take a break?"

-Like - she's lost direction.

-Yeah.

No, actually, maybe that is just a sign of what I want to do and, like, do you know what I mean?

Yeah, and then you have to do well after that,

you have to do well at uni, then get a good job.

It's like a kind of line, like a system of things.

But I think that's more... and that, like, being from African backgrounds that's that, times ten.

-Do you know what I mean?

-Yeah.

If you're not a lawyer, doctor or accountant...

-What are you?

-What are you?

If you turn around and you're like, "Oh, I want to be a fashion designer.

"I want to be a music producer. I want to be this." They'd be like, "Oh!

"Focus on this and then you can do that on the side."

While the girls head off to a beach bar, they are totally

unaware of two eavesdroppers preparing to secretly listen in.

There is a lot of partying going on, lots of drinking.

I'm hoping to see another side of her.

I'm nervous, I feel kind of sneaky, yes, spying on her.

I hope she doesn't feel like that.

I feel like overcoming that African mentality where it's like

your parents' word is gospel.

It's like, OK, yeah, most of it, it is, but, you guys, at the same

time we have grown up in different kind of cultures so you have

to give us a little leeway and understand and sort of comprehend

that we know sort of what we're doing at the same time too.

It's about us being able to stand on our own two feet,

just a different way, and we're trying to

sort of respect their culture and our culture and at the same

time live our life the way that we've only known how to live it.

Is that difficult?

I don't think... I think it's difficult when you sort of want to tell your parents,

"Hey, I don't want to do law, I want to do fashion."

"What could you do with that? How can you make money? How are you going to live?"

After hearing Agi's concerns, Fatou has a revelation.

I didn't realise the amount of pressure I have been putting onto

Agi that she has to be good and she has to, you know, achieve well and

do well in life and in school and everything, and I've heard it today.

Maybe this might make me, you know, cool...

back off a little bit and say, "Yeah."

You should take the pressure off now and trust her.

At least for tonight, the girls are putting their worries

behind them, in exchange for a carefree evening, Thailand style.

MUSIC: "22" by Taylor Swift

-Woo!

-Aisha, go.

MUSIC: "22" by Taylor Swift

Nine mojitos, guys.

I should just literally let go and do whatever and be free

and like just enjoy it and be free-spirited.

They're loving Thailand, we're all really enthusiastic about it,

and that's what's making us

just sort of not even think twice about things, and I feel like

we shouldn't hold back on who we really are or anything like that.

Billy is feeling knackered but the boys are laying on the pressure.

There's nothing wrong with being tired.

This was the night Billy was supposed to bring in the girls.

Once again, Billy gives in.

Little bit annoyed with myself for coming out.

I was pretty happy in bed, I could have dozed off easy.

-Here we fucking are again.

-Not fancy a woman?

SHOUTS AND CHEERING

Little bit pissed, being sort of peer pressured into it.

Got to sort of live up to the expectations of being

out in Thailand and having to go out

and get pissed with the lads every night.

# ..I'm sexy and I know it... #

What Billy believes is peer pressure, Ali considers to be friendly encouragement.

If I'm the person that

makes sure he has a good time, I'll make sure he has a good time,

do you know what I mean? I look after my boys.

It looks like Ali may have a point.

I'm glad the guys finally got me to come out tonight.

I'm having a wicked night, I'm pretty pissed, I haven't

spent much money and I'm having a fucking great time to be fair.

DANCE MUSIC PLAYS

Three in the morning

and Billy's calling his own shots as he alone decides to call it a night.

The parents are en route to see what their beloved offspring have

been up to this time.

Jan is desperately hoping Billy makes a decision for himself

rather than being led by others.

Today, I really hope that Billy makes a decision

and the other guys follow him

and do what he wants to do rather than Billy being led by the others.

Agi's mum Fatou is starting to understand the pressures her

daughter faces for the first time.

For us, it's more important to have a better education than getting

up going out clubbing or going partying every day.

It is very hard being brought up in Africa

and living in a European culture.

Hiya, how are you? Are you OK?

Nine mojitos, guys. Nine mojitos.

Probably a little bit tipsy, verging on the state of like drunk.

With the drinking then, obviously the nine mojitos and all the other

cocktails, how do you think that's going to impact on things back home?

Is it going to cause any problems that people have seen her drinking now?

I hope people will learn to see and accept what's going on

and see that our children...

It's not bad, you know, they're having fun and they're still,

-you know, being responsible.

-Yeah.

I think it's difficult when, I mean you sort of want to

tell your parents, "Hey I don't want to do law, I want to do fashion."

I feel like I owe it to my mum because of like whatever

she's gone through in her life and the struggles she's been through.

-Oh, that's so sweet.

-Yes, it's quite hard.

-Feel sorry for them.

-I mean it is totally different, but you've done really well.

-But actually it's a learning curve. I'm learning.

-Yeah.

The more she's growing, the more she's, you know,

she's coming out with her own opinions and I'm so proud of her.

Up next is Bully.

Being drunk at night, you're going to forget a lot of things.

Being here right now, I'm not going to forget something like this.

This is a memory that's going to stay with me for ever.

That is really good. Bet you're proud of him, doing something cultural.

-Oh, yeah, of course I'm proud of him.

-Doing the cultural bit.

Of course I'm proud, yeah. Yeah, absolutely. Shall we have a look at some more then?

We agreed that we were having a quiet night in, so don't give me that bullshit.

-Nah. Nah.

-We all agreed on having a quiet night in.

Don't know if they all agreed but he suggested it.

No. He's zoned out. He's in a trance, he's on his own.

-I think he looked like he was struggling. He wasn't enjoying it...

-Absolutely.

-..as much as he ordinarily would.

-Yeah.

-Probably because he made his mind up not to go out.

-Yeah.

-Then he felt obliged to have a drink.

They've worked out what pushes Billy's buttons.

They know what does, get drink down his neck.

I'm happy with today.

-Yeah, you should be.

-Yeah, definitely.

-Showing a responsible head.

-Yes.

-Yeah.

Jan is delighted that Billy has shown he CAN stand up for himself.

He's a strong character but he's trying to please everyone.

-Yeah.

-And I'm quite proud of the fact that he's got that side to his

personality and he's not going to be necessarily pushed around, but he is

going to be gently encouraged to go out and make the most of his time.

I think that's what the guys are trying to get at.

Billy has come to realise that he doesn't always have to be

influenced by his friends' demands.

So today he's going it alone.

It's three o'clock in the afternoon, boys are still in bed,

I'm out here having a great time, enjoying the sun.

Probably the best weather we've had all week so far. I've had a massage,

had a dip, and I'm enjoying just having some me time, at the moment.

Here we are.

Later that evening, a newly assertive Billy tells the boys how it is.

I'm not doing anything expensive tomorrow unless I can get

some more money, but apart from that you guys can carry on

and do whatever, but I'm sticking to a cheap and cheerful day.

Little does he know that his mum has been

listening in from the next door hotel room.

Yeah, I think the partying has caught up with us a bit now,

you guys were asleep all day, I think that's enough now.

Yeah, but we're going to be awake all night now, so it levels out.

Yeah, the last two nights me and Jay have been out longer than you.

-I've heard enough now to be honest.

-Yeah?

Jan's finding it hard to take.

-Are you all right?

-Yeah.

At least he's being responsible, saying that he's going

to have a rest and everything and take it easy tomorrow.

Just feel a bit sneaky, just feels wrong today, it just feels wrong.

Billy's mum is feeling guilty about having spied on him for a week.

You've never done this sort of thing before,

you've never sort of checked up on him,

and that's what you feel this is?

Never followed him across the world before and spied on him, no.

No.

Just feels wrong tonight.

It's the final day of the holiday and Agi and co are visiting

a traditional Thai village to soak up some culture.

What they don't know is that Agi's mum Fatou

and Auntie Ramou are preparing a little surprise.

I am so excited to see Agi today

and I still have a little bit of nerves

running round my tummy,

just don't know how she's going to take this when she sees me.

They don their disguises and await the girls.

It's time to reveal themselves.

SQUEALS AND LAUGHTER

You! You! You! You!

Bye-bye!

LAUGHTER

Hello, Mum. Oh, how are you?

Are you all right? I hope you're not sweating too much.

You want to try some? Are you all right?

Are you surprised?

Why are you here?

I've seen so many things.

I've seen the cocktails, the mojitos, nine times mojitos

and all that stuff, I've seen it.

-Give her a hug.

-Are you crying?

-Oh, that's...

-Come here, love.

I feel betrayed. I feel betrayed.

So, why are you here?

Not why are you here, but what did you...

Did you come here to find something out or...?

It's a good opportunity, you know, to come

and be somewhere, see you, hear you,

so that me too I know what's going on deep inside you, what's..

I'm not, you know, normally see or heard from you.

I've seen so many things that you've talked about

and you have proved yourself.

Because I feel like fearless, if I have your support, I'm like,

"It's fine I have my mum's backing so I can do whatever."

Why do you think I am right on your back?

Because I don't have the motivation or the determination for myself,

so you're sort of taking up that role. And I'm trying.

Well, yeah, I know you are trying.

It's only recently I've wanted to do fashion, or do law - things like that.

I believe in you and I trust in you and I...

You know, I'm going to chill too, I'm going

to be that cool chick you're talking about.

Well, I'm relieved and happy that you know she sort of found out who

I really am, but obviously I would have liked to have done

it in my own time, but I don't think that time would have ever come.

After a week of pressurised partying,

Billy has blown his entire budget.

Money's really tight, I've run out of money totally.

The whole Jet Ski thing has sort of fucked me over a little bit.

Yeah, you want 250 baht, 50 baht?

Billy just hopes he will be able to draw money from the cash machine.

Come here to get some bloody money out, because I'm broke as a joke.

Little does Billy know his mum Jan

and friend Andi are hiding around the corner and ready to pounce.

I am a little bit apprehensive, a little nervous, worried about

whether he'll be happy, shocked,

upset, scared, I don't know.

I'm scared.

Billy is about to get the shock of his life.

Stop, stop, stop! Don't get any money out, don't get any

money out. I've got some money here, I've got you some money.

SHOUTING

I've got you some money, darling.

Yay! Yeah, spare on him, he's..

Are you all right, sweetheart?

I told you, mate, I told you your mum would give you money!

I got stitched up big time.

No, you've not done anything bad.

Nothing wrong, nasty. You've been brilliant in fact.

-You didn't even pull.

-Yeah, I know. It's terrible.

What's going on there?

I'm a little bit shocked.

-Are you?

-To say the least, yeah.

-Yeah. But you are pleased to see me though, aren't you?

-Yeah.

Later that evening, Billy and his mum Jan get the chance to sit down

and share their experiences.

Are you surprised by anything or shocked by anything?

Not surprised or shocked, but I was a little bit

disturbed about how much language you used originally.

I think I got used to it after a while.

Right. Well, that's not really a big deal, is it?

Well, no, I know you well enough to know that you're a good person,

you don't...it doesn't worry me.

The only time I was a bit concerned about how you were feeling was

when you had the little bit of a disagreement with Jay and Ali.

Oh, yeah, I was pissed off for a day or two about that.

Yeah. I can see it had upset you.

I had to be the bigger man in the situation.

I'm quite glad that you worked things through with them

and came out the other side quite calm.

I've learnt quite a lot.

About yourself or about your friends?

-About my friends.

-Yeah.

Erm, Ali sort of just made the holiday what it is.

I wish I was a bit more carefree like he is.

I think I had to be quite mature about a few things.

Yeah, well, I'm glad that you're not more like Ali. I don't think you

need to be, love, and you certainly give things a lot of thought before

you do things and I think that makes you a better person for it.

I've learnt that my Billy can cope with most situations

and deal with it with dignity.

I'm so proud.

Even my own mum's been watching. I don't regret anything at all,

I'd do it again and again and again.

Where do you want to go next year, love?

As far away from you as possible.

Oh, thank you.

Next time, we'll be looking back on another summer of partying.

I'm pretty drunk now.

The parents have revealed themselves to their kids.

-It's my mum.

-But the holidays are over.

Time to see what's changed and what they've all learnt.

I always worry about what other people thought about who I am

and now I don't really give two tosses.

I can't believe that I slept with a prostitute on telly.
