Transcript

00:00Oh look at me my brother. That was Southpaw. It was the first time ever that I'd had a can of 7-Up.

00:12Growing up we certainly didn't have as much as our kids but if you did get something you're

00:18really grateful for it. Josh come on we're going to the beach. Come on let's go Tilly. I'm getting

00:25so good features. Come on. You want your kids to have the things that we didn't have as kids

00:30but sometimes I think and we've made them too comfortable.

00:40If we weren't here to fill up the fridge and top up their phones this lot wouldn't survive for five

00:45minutes. I wonder. Okay listen up. Listen up. Heads down everywhere. Okay listen up. This moment

00:54on you will not speak. I mean it's drastic but just maybe it's time for us all to leave our comfort

00:59zone. This is just pure madness. I feel like we're being like kidnapped. I don't know why I'm here.

01:06All the other kids are naughty but I'm fine. Just a shock. He couldn't really breathe.

01:11I don't care if you fail and I'm not getting in that rake.

01:20Maybe it wasn't my best idea.

01:41It looks good. It's that time of the year again. Florida is calling for the Radfords.

01:58Well it's hot hot hot today. Oh my goodness these flowers are just amazing.

02:05It's the sunshine state. A kids playground and a dream destination.

02:11The only problem is some feel they've seen it all before.

02:16It annoys me. What's the point of just sitting in your villa? Just get out. So much to see and do.

02:23We're on holiday. Think yourselves lucky. Be grateful that you're getting these opportunities.

02:34Our kids definitely have an easier path through life to what we had when we were kids.

02:39Sometimes you sit back and think, are we creating monsters here? Should we be spoiling them?

02:44Maybe we shouldn't be like that. Why do we have to be here now? We've already been here.

02:51I'm kind of missing my friends. I'd rather be spending time with our friends than being here again.

02:57Mum and Dad say it's for us kids but it's not.

03:01And even when they do get everyone out, there's no let up. We're doing this for 30 minutes. We're going to be shotty.

03:10Way too hot. My back's sweating. Just want to get in bed and sleep.

03:15They're doing my head in.

03:19Noel is ready to shake things up.

03:23We need to get these kids a bit more motivated to do something.

03:26Oh yeah, I know. It's ridiculous.

03:30We need to think of something. Something to teach them like life skills, resilience.

03:38Good luck with that one. I'll find something.

03:45Back in the UK, there's another Bradford whose child wants for nothing.

03:52Everything is going well with Ronnie at the moment. He's very close to being eight months.

03:59He's learned to roll over, clap his hands.

04:05But whilst Ronnie has filled her heart, he's emptied her bank account.

04:10Since 2012, the cost of bringing up a child has almost doubled.

04:15This holiday summer beach house is literally dream.

04:18Is to make sure you shop this exclusively. And what you can buy them is endless.

04:22I absolutely love watching the boys learning journeys.

04:26Do you love it?

04:27Yeah.

04:28Since having a baby, you can't help yourself from watching these clips.

04:32There is so much out there for babies and you just want them to have everything.

04:37You'll get £5 off when you spend £50, £10 off when you spend £100.

04:41You see all these people with all these stuff and you're like, oh, well, I want that as well.

04:44So then you get it, even if you can't afford it, you'll get it.

04:50And just to sort of like fit in.

04:53Do I get a cuddle?

04:56And in the end, I feel like I can't match up, so I'm failing.

05:01Maternity pay has reduced Katie's income, but her old bills still need paying.

05:07I have £700 for rent, council tax, gas electric, your water bill.

05:14That can all come up to £600 a month.

05:19So it is quite tough.

05:22With money tight, Katie's head is buried deep in the sand.

05:25I am getting a lot of bills.

05:29I'll pay them as soon as I can, but just not right now.

05:34I am afraid to open them.

05:36Back across the pond, the kids have managed to move, but only as far as the sun loungers.

05:53Dad, can I have some water, please?

05:56But Noel has other things in mind.

05:58I guess my big worry is if something happens to, you know, me and Sue, will they be able to cope?

06:06Really?

06:08Well, yeah.

06:11This just sounds like perfect.

06:17Noel's had an idea.

06:19How are you?

06:20Well, I'm hoping you can help.

06:25Trying to get my kids a bit more motivated,

06:27and there's something missing and they need to kick up the backside type of a thing,

06:31you know what I mean?

06:34Noel's contacted a survivalist specialist.

06:37So these guys are professionals.

06:39I mean, they are so used to working out problems in tough, difficult circumstances.

06:45I'm hiring them.

06:46It's not just to shout and scream at the kids and, you know, get them into line.

06:50It's more of getting the kids to discover what they're capable of doing

06:54and to make them appreciate what they've got.

06:57I suppose, I think what kids miss at the moment is that they miss a challenge.

07:01Mm-hmm.

07:01Would they be up for a little bit of discomfort?

07:05There's not many of them that'll be up for it.

07:07I'm sure, Noel, you've told your wife at least what you're thinking.

07:11Noel is looking to take only those he feels would benefit from some extra help and guidance.

07:25Here's a few of them.

07:27Phoebe.

07:30She used to love animals, football, being outdoors.

07:34All that's just been crushed by just staring at her screen.

07:37Josh.

07:39A few years ago, we got him kayaking and it really brought the real Josh to the surface.

07:44But that seems to have gone again.

07:50Then there's Tilly.

07:53She had that difficult time with her surgery and all the recovery and what have you.

07:56But today, she uses it as an excuse not to push herself.

08:00She should be more adventurous, get out there and do things.

08:04Then we've got Casper.

08:09If he doesn't go his way, he doesn't like it.

08:11He starts getting upset and frustrated.

08:14I want Casper to learn resilience.

08:19Is it a punishment, Noel, because it sure sounds like it?

08:22No.

08:22Do you know what?

08:23I think at the end of this, he'll come up to me, shake me hands and say, thanks, Dad.

08:26What you're saying to me, why do you think I know exactly what to do?

08:30Brilliant.

08:32Bye for now.

08:32Bye.

08:34What have I just signed up, Bob?

08:36If this doesn't work out, they will never speak to me again.

08:50Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.

08:52It's only three weeks since the Radfords returned from Florida.

08:56But they're off again.

08:57Or at least a select few are.

09:03I'm on a plane, but I don't know where I'm going.

09:07Only the parents have a clue what lies ahead.

09:09I think the kids are going to gain a lot out of this, because when I was younger, I did rock climbing, fell running.

09:16We did survival skills and all that sort of thing. I think this will work for the kids as well.

09:20I really think that the whole idea is just bonkers.

09:24Touchdown is in Dublin, but they're not staying.

09:30Noel's taking them out of town.

09:32We've never been to Ireland at all.

09:37It'll be a weekend to remember this, hopefully for all the right reasons.

09:44Some of this is going to be a bit testing for them, but it'll be fun.

09:48Noel has brought along the kids he thinks need some character building.

09:52So we've brought along with us Tilly, Joff, Max, Casper, Phoebe, and we've also brought our granddaughter Daisy, who is such a lovely girl.

10:01She's very determined. So we're really interested to know how she gets on.

10:10They've been driving for two hours and are now in one of the most remote areas of Ireland.

10:16We've driven hours from the city. We've arrived in the middle of nowhere.

10:21We've got the kids with us. I think we're both just anxious of what's about to unfold and happen.

10:28Why are we stopping?

10:30Behind us.

10:36Do I speak? Anybody? Keep your heads down.

10:39Heads down everywhere.

10:41Any thoughts that this was going to be an ordinary holiday have just vanished.

10:46Keep your heads down.

10:48What have you signed us up for, Noel?

10:51Oh my god.

10:53Is this some sort of sick freak?

10:56Do not talk.

10:58It's everything we tell you to do.

11:01What if they kidnap us?

11:02I don't like being controlled, but I can't really do anything about this.

11:11I'll do you there. Thanks very much.

11:14Wherever they were heading...

11:15Let's go, let's go. Let's get off the bus.

11:17They've arrived.

11:18Come on, fast, fast, fast, let's go.

11:22They're not like any holiday reps I've ever met.

11:25I think I'm being punished for something.

11:27Something really, really bad.

11:29I don't know why I am here. I mean all the other kids I understand, they're naughty, but I'm fine.

11:35This is just pure madness. I feel like we're being, like, kidnapped.

11:39The kids have been told that this is a survivalist adventure, and they were up for it, but it will be a shock for them.

11:47We're going to be using the environment around us, and we're going to be testing them.

11:50From the moment they come in, they're going to be challenged.

11:56All of our staff, most of us are ex-military.

11:59We do this because we realise that people want to be challenged.

12:05Where we are, there is nothing around us.

12:07There is no chance of them being able to walk down around the corner to a shock.

12:11This is as remote as you can get.

12:14Hope you know what you're doing, Noel.

12:16I do understand what Noel's trying to do here, but this is a bit over the top.

12:23This might be a bit more hardcore than they're bagging for.

12:31Over the next 48 hours, the family will be facing tough, but child-friendly challenges.

12:36Blindfold on, understood.

12:37That will test their resilience to the limit.

12:40Your blindfold's on.

12:42Straight away, Tilly has her head down.

12:44And Tilly is a bit shocked by what's happening.

12:47Tilly, over here. Understood?

12:49I don't like being shouted at and told what to do. I don't like it at all.

12:54Okay, listen up. Let's go.

12:56Do not expect to have a child when you get home.

12:59Okay, let's go, let's go. Come on, fast, fast, fast.

13:02There is method to all of this madness.

13:04We teach people how to survive. So we focus on the fundamentals of survival. Fire, shelter,

13:11water, food. We put them in a survival situation where they have to use the skills they've been

13:15taught. It's not dangerous, but they are going to need resilience and motivation to succeed.

13:20The first challenge will teach the Radfords to stay calm in adversity.

13:25Blindfold on, blindfold on, make sure it's tight.

13:30Blindfolded, they'll need to safely navigate through rough terrain, guided only by Casper and Phoebe.

13:37It's what you need to do. You need to get your whole family to follow us.

13:42Okay, how do you think you're going to do that?

13:44Everyone put your arm and what if you want your hands?

13:46Boom!

13:48The safety of the Radfords is now firmly in the hands of its youngest members.

13:54Do you trust them, Noel?

13:56We'll get distracted. It'll be us that are getting hurt.

14:03Oh my god, Casper.

14:05I definitely trust like the older siblings, but the younger ones, there isn't

14:11much trust there, to be honest.

14:14I'm not receiving much information from The Hobbit, so...

14:17Casper, you need to get them more information.

14:19Nobody's listening.

14:21To complete the challenge, Casper can't give up at the first obstacle.

14:27Oh my god, I feel like I'm in the bushes.

14:29Now we're going to go on sand.

14:30On the beach?

14:33Yeah, don't walk them into the rock there, Phoebe.

14:35Oh, sugar.

14:37In a survival situation, a twisted ankle,

14:40or even something as simple as wet feet, can have a huge impact.

14:44Right, you're going to step up with some water, okay?

14:46Yeah.

14:46Look.

14:47I can't walk.

14:48I can't say look.

14:49Look.

14:50Casper.

14:53That's it.

14:55Kids.

14:55Stop!

14:57Kids, stand up.

14:58Stand up.

14:59Blindfolds off.

15:00Blindfolds off.

15:02That was a good effort, okay?

15:04Well done.

15:05Lot of communication.

15:06You learnt as you went, didn't you?

15:08Noel's already seen promising signs.

15:12I'm really impressed with Casper.

15:13If things don't normally go his own way, he throws his toys out the pram,

15:16but he's rode it out and done a really good job this time.

15:19And as if being dragged nine hours away from home wasn't enough.

15:24Everyone who has a phone, I want you to take it out and place it on the ground in front of you.

15:30We do not want to find someone who has a phone later in the evening.

15:33If anyone quits before 48 hours is up, the whole family will fail.

15:43Do you see what you're standing in?

15:44That's what you have to survive, yeah?

15:48You up for it?

15:51There's nothing to do here.

15:53I can't stay here for now.

15:54Before new mum Katie had eight-month-old Ronnie, there was already a baby in her life.

16:08Her four-wheeled bestie, Sally.

16:12Before I'd done my test, I was looking at this one car, the CIB Fair.

16:17I thought, I want this car. I want it.

16:19My dad kept saying to me, just get a cheap car, but I didn't listen to him.

16:26I just dived right into it and went for finance.

16:31So Sally costs £800 a month.

16:37Today, Katie is travelling to meet sister Chloe for some retail therapy.

16:42This is really cute.

16:43Oh, that's cute.

16:44That's nice, that.

16:46But Chloe might not be the best shopping companion.

16:49Oh, Katie, look at this.

16:51The cash-strap Katie.

16:53Chloe, do you have one of these?

16:54Yeah, I like that.

16:56These mum influencers are doing the job properly, aren't they?

16:58I love watching them videos.

17:01I absolutely love them, but it does make you want to buy these things.

17:05Even if you've got, like, your whole nursery sorted,

17:07you'll see something on these videos and you're like, oh, I need to get that.

17:11Ronnie's got everything on here.

17:14Sounds like Katie's been watching them again, too.

17:16Well then, Chloe, I do really like this bed.

17:19I like that one.

17:20Yeah?

17:21Or no?

17:22Well, we say, yeah.

17:24We've picked two outfits up so far.

17:26Do you want a bag?

17:27Wear it, please.

17:28But it's only just beginning.

17:30That's nice over there, isn't it?

17:32Yeah.

17:33I like that rocking chair.

17:34I wouldn't use it, but I want it.

17:35Bringing up baby has changed dramatically since these two were in nappies.

17:40This generation, we want the newest gadgets, we want the newest things.

17:47Whereas when mum and dad was having us older ones, they did use hand-me-downs a lot more.

17:54I really like that.

17:55She's spent a fortune already.

17:57How much is that, though?

17:59But for Ronnie, Katie just can't say no.

18:01Four hundred pound.

18:03Four hundred.

18:06No.

18:10But that is actually really good still.

18:14No, no.

18:15I don't really like it.

18:16This is only ending one way.

18:19Yeah, you like it.

18:20Oh, good.

18:20Ronnie likes it.

18:22Good.

18:24Hiya, are you paying by card?

18:25Er, please.

18:26It's actually been declined.

18:33Bank account says nope.

18:36Do you have another card?

18:37No.

18:39Katie's spending spree is over.

18:42Katie, that's terrible.

18:43I don't mind lending you it if you really want it.

18:47But it is a lot.

18:50She's spent up, and for Katie, judgment day is coming.

18:53I literally don't know what it went on.

19:01We are all under pressure.

19:02This is where it's actually going to matter.

19:05The Radford survival experience just got serious.

19:10Time is really, really important to us.

19:12If we don't get our fire going, we're in a survival situation.

19:16It's only two hours until sunset, and with the temperature plummeting,

19:20staying warm and dry is critical.

19:22This is going to be hard for them, because they're used to luxury hotels,

19:27luxury camper van, the lovely comfy beds.

19:31There's none of that.

19:33So we need fuel, oxygen and heat to start a fire.

19:36After a lesson in fire-making skills...

19:39So what we're going to do is we're going to see if you can actually put theory into practice.

19:43OK.

19:43Go!

19:44Let's go.

19:44Right, boys.

19:45This is a lesson in teamwork.

19:48Who wants to gather wood?

19:49And it's girls versus boys.

19:51The girls are on with it, collecting the stuff already.

19:54That'll be good.

19:55Yep.

19:55We were told we had to work together to build our team's shelter for the night.

20:00Is this good?

20:01You're going to miss your bed, Casper?

20:05To gather wood and light a fire.

20:06Let me open this, and then we're going to do the flint bit.

20:10They said listen to each other and communicate with each other.

20:14We need different sizes, thinner, up to thicker.

20:17OK, Max, I want you to make sure that this is the area we're going to light the fire, OK?

20:20Teamwork is something Max is struggling with.

20:25Help me carry this.

20:27I'm not helping you carry an entire tree.

20:29Max, what are you getting?

20:30Max isn't helping at all, he's just doing his own thing.

20:33We need bigger logs.

20:35Well, work as a team, lads, work as a team.

20:36Max is an individual that likes to problem solve on his own.

20:42I've lit him quite a lot of fires.

20:44I've done this quite a few times.

20:46I much prefer doing things by myself, because it means that I can control everything.

20:50Let's go and get some chunkier wood.

20:52Max, you need to help us.

20:54Work as a team, don't all have to do the same thing.

20:56It'd just be nice to get Max team-building with the family.

21:01Bit more pressure.

21:03Looks like Max didn't get the memo.

21:05OK, guys, let's start putting it together now.

21:08They're still gathering.

21:09We're going to lose this if you don't pull your finger out.

21:11No, no, no, not listening.

21:14Whilst the boys are bickering...

21:16Yay, that's it, that's it, that's it.

21:17We've got fire over here!

21:19We've got fire!

21:21..the girls' co-operation has paid off.

21:23Good job, girls!

21:25Clear communication, respect for each other and a sisterly bond really did help win the race for the fire lighting.

21:37The whole group will need to work together for their next task.

21:40How do you feel about sleeping out in the shelter?

21:43Err, I don't know.

21:45I like camping, but I like motorhome better than, like, this camping.

21:51Right then, we need about three or four of us to hold this, because if it's a bit windy, it might blow away.

21:55With near-zero temperatures forecast, they're going to need a warm roof over their heads.

22:01Well, any roof would do, actually.

22:03So, I'm going to show you a trick.

22:04You start cutting here, and then you pull it all the way back, OK?

22:07But at least everyone's getting stuck in.

22:11Phoebe is really getting into this.

22:13She's treating it like a game on her tablet.

22:15She's really loving it.

22:17Daisy, look at this one!

22:20It's stupid, but would this not work as a better heat reflect?

22:22With the threat of a night under the stars...

22:25Oh, yeah, you've got that shield, haven't you?

22:27..even lone wolf Max is working as a team.

22:30Yeah, Max. No, that's not a stupid idea at all.

22:33That's a bloody good idea.

22:36Max is beginning to realise that teamwork makes the dream work.

22:40If your dream is sleeping under a tree, of course...

22:43I have to admit, I couldn't have built the shelter by myself.

22:46If the others had some good ideas, they helped get the resources and actually build the thing.

22:50No, I feel like it's Stig of the Dump.

22:54You'll look like Stig of the Dump in the moment.

22:55No, actually, no. That looks really cosy.

22:58I'm sleeping in the corner.

23:00Where's the toilet?

23:02That's a good question.

23:04I'm not really sure where the toilet is.

23:06I mean, it's pick a tree, any tree.

23:12Nightfall is imminent.

23:13Would you like a cup of tea?

23:16No, I might be.

23:18But the lack of sleeping facilities are no laughing matter for Tilly.

23:23What about a hot chocolate?

23:24No, I'd like to sleep for something that isn't at all.

23:26No. Come on, Tilly.

23:28Tilly is really not very happy with me.

23:31Well, or anybody, actually.

23:34Tilly has been through such an awful lot.

23:36I mean, ever since she was seven, she's had leg lengthening operations,

23:40which were extremely tough on Tilly. I think because of that,

23:44Tilly is scared to push herself to do things a bit out of her comfort zone.

23:50It'd be like ten hours in a tent made out of branches in freezing conditions.

23:57I think when we do it, knock it into platelet public.

23:59Come on, we could all have some family bonding time and all snuggle up.

24:03Every single one of your children is my enemy. I don't like that.

24:06I'm missing my phone, my home, my friends.

24:10I don't want to be in here.

24:31Morning. How are you?

24:35Hey, Daisy.

24:37Have you survived?

24:38Good.

24:40Where's the bacon? What is that?

24:43It's the second day of the Radford survival experience.

24:48Noel's hoping to instill resilience in the kids,

24:51something he and Sue needed when they started their family unexpectedly.

24:56I think when you're young, you're a little bit selfish, right?

24:58It's all about me, me, me.

25:00Whereas when we had to change our outlook on life, it wasn't a case of I can treat myself.

25:05It was I have to look after the family first.

25:08Everyone was really nice and warm.

25:10Just Josh talking in his sleep.

25:12He was just like, proper like shouting in his sleep and I was like, oh!

25:21That was a very uncomfortable night.

25:22It feels like we've been here forever.

25:26I feel disgusting. My hair feels greasy. I just feel gross and sweaty.

25:32I love building our own den and sleeping in it.

25:37I really do want my children to grow up with determination and the mindset that if they

25:44put their mind to doing something, then they can do it.

25:46Going without their home comforts is proven to be a physical and mental challenge.

25:55My day routine, small fry up, breakfast, and then skincare, makeup, and then go to school.

26:01If I miss like one step in my routine, I don't really mind that.

26:04But if I miss like two or three, then I kind of get a bit bothered.

26:08This is already warm me out.

26:16Right, Ronnie.

26:24We can't put this off any longer. We're going to have to go through these.

26:27Earlier, Katie's comfort shopping trip was disrupted when her bank card was declined.

26:33There's a brown envelope and I'm pretty sure that means your own money.

26:37Do you agree, Ronnie?

26:40For months, she's turned a blind eye to a mountain of official-looking letters piling up.

26:46So this is my wi-fi bill.

26:52This one's £50.

26:55Now it's time to face the music.

26:58My gas and electric, that's £160.

27:03Council tax, £230.

27:06Water bill.

27:11I owe £850.

27:15That's a lot of money.

27:18This one's for Sally, car insurance.

27:23That's £250.

27:26This one's another one for Sally.

27:27Sally is costing Katie a fortune.

27:31Another one for Sally.

27:33And one letter is of particular concern.

27:36So this letter says, I missed my payment.

27:44Katie's learnt a lesson the hard way.

27:46This has made me realise that having a baby does change the way you spent your money.

27:52I can't carry on spending the way I did before I went on maternity leave.

27:59Something needs to change.

28:00I can't give Ronnie the lifestyle that I'd like to.

28:05Mum and Dad can't help, so it's all on Katie.

28:08I don't know what's going to happen.

28:20The Radfords have been without their phones and gadgets for more than a day.

28:26And they don't know what to do with themselves.

28:30Kids today are used to constant stimulation and it's mostly just electronic.

28:34And to be fair, Sue and I, we're always doom scrolling.

28:38And to be cut off from that is quite a big shock for us all.

28:44I feel like levels of the resilience are dropping a bit.

28:46I'm all right.

28:48Yeah, right.

28:51I think little Casper's struggling.

28:53I think Josh is flaking. He's going to sleep.

28:58When I was growing up, we didn't have all the gadgets and we were just never bored.

29:02It's time to do something actual and not virtual for a change.

29:09Noel's decided to give the kids a slice of his 1970s childhood.

29:13Right, everyone, find me a worm.

29:16The Radfords are going fishing.

29:18It seems to be a worm-free environment.

29:20Have you found a worm?

29:22I've got a maggot.

29:24Come and put it on this hook, then.

29:25And with some improvisation from the survivalist experts,

29:31the kids are soon casting off as best they can.

29:34Right, go.

29:35Oh, oh.

29:36Well, this is a great start, isn't it?

29:39In a world of short attention spans and instant gratification,

29:43this could easily backfire.

29:44All my years of fishing as a kid, I caught one fish.

29:49Dad, how long did you used to do this for?

29:51Oh, hours and hours, like days and days.

29:55It's all about patience, Max.

29:59Despite a slow start,

30:00the tide begins to turn.

30:03Hey, Dad, you know I had a fight with a fish once?

30:06Did you?

30:07Yeah, I batted it.

30:12I know what would help if we had our phones and play some catchy music.

30:16Get it?

30:17Just trying to catch a fish.

30:20Why did the fish flush?

30:22Oh, hang on, because it's so...

30:24Because it's all the ocean's bottom.

30:25Well, I don't think I converted anyone into fishing,

30:32but for a while, they were enjoying it,

30:34and they forgot about their screens.

30:35And I'll take that as a small win.

30:38Where did fish go on holiday?

30:40I don't know.

30:41Finland.

30:51Katie is in the middle of a fight for her financial survival.

30:55Since being on maternity leave,

30:58I have fallen behind with my finance.

31:00I've got, like, 20 bills.

31:02It is stressful.

31:06She's deep in debt and behind with her repayments.

31:10With no bank of Mum and Dad to bail her out,

31:12she's turning to the bank of Big Sister.

31:15Yeah, I'm hoping Millie can help me.

31:17I'm going to go in, speak to her,

31:19see if she can maybe lend me some money.

31:23Or something.

31:24This is Katie's last hope.

31:28Can Millie lend her the money she needs?

31:30I feel bad asking Millie,

31:33because, obviously, she's got younger kids as well,

31:36so she knows the struggles with your bills.

31:39I mean, no, it's not easy.

31:40You have to pick the right moment.

31:42Ophelia, get off my phone!

31:44You're going to drop it! Stop running with it!

31:45No!

31:46Chester, don't be kicking balls!

31:49Pick it up and put it in the sink if you're done with it!

31:50No! That's naughty!

31:52You're just chucking food at me now!

31:54Right, Chester, stop throwing!

31:58Hartley, tell Elodie to get down!

32:00Get in now!

32:00What did you want to talk to me about anyways, Katie?

32:02Are you all right?

32:03Um, so yeah, I came round to talk to you about...

32:05Elodie, stop running!

32:06Elodie, stop running!

32:07Give me one second, Katie.

32:08Elodie, stop!

32:10Stop running!

32:10One of you's are going to fall over! Stop!

32:13Just getting the opportunity to ask the question

32:15looks like it's going to be harder than she expected.

32:18Be careful!

32:19So, sorry, Katie, what did you want to talk to me about?

32:22Yeah, I just wanted to talk about...

32:23What do you want, Ophelia?

32:26I'll get it in a minute.

32:27We do not mess with wires!

32:30I'm trying to talk to Auntie Katie!

32:33Elodie, get out the bin!

32:34Maybe some food will calm things down.

32:37Now, don't squeeze it till I've opened it!

32:40Don't squeeze it till I've opened it!

32:41Oh, my God!

32:45Let me hold your yoghurt.

32:52She's just run it all through her hair now.

32:55Elodie, wait.

32:58We've all got to speak at some point, Katie.

33:01It's OK.

33:11Maybe I'm the only one that can fix this.

33:19I don't know what I'm going to do.

33:20I don't know what I'm going to do.

33:22I don't know what I'm going to do.

33:32With more than 10 hours still to go, the family are about to face their biggest challenge.

33:37They're now hungry, they're getting a little bit cold, but now we move into a real situation,

33:42a real survival situation.

33:43Okay guys, we're now moving into the black phase.

33:47The stuff we're going to be doing is not designed to be fun.

33:51You need to do exactly what we ask you to do, when we ask you to do it.

33:56This really matters.

33:57Do you understand?

33:58Yep.

33:59Everything we've done so far has been built into this.

34:02Now they face a challenge where everything in their minds and their bodies will be telling

34:06them that they don't want to do it and that they can't do it.

34:09We're going to show them that they can.

34:11I selected the ones I felt needed help, together with those I felt could inspire them.

34:16You're doing it, you're doing it, you're doing it, you're doing it, and you're doing it.

34:22What are we doing?

34:24What do you think we're doing?

34:27With an instructor in the freezing water, Noel thinks he's guessed what's coming.

34:31I've got a feeling while walking into the lake.

34:35No one is keen to do it, and no one less keen than Tilly.

34:47I really, really don't want to go into a freezing cold lake.

34:51I'm done, and I'm going home, and I don't care if that means I will fail.

35:04Morning.

35:05Mum and Dad may not be home, but for Katie, the family nest is a place of retreat when

35:20the going gets tough.

35:21Katie is behind with all her bills and finally facing the consequences.

35:32I don't want to be in debt anymore.

35:33I don't want the fear of having someone knock on the door or bringing a letter.

35:41Enough is enough.

35:42Knock down.

35:44Amy's in shock.

35:45But Katie is remarkably calm.

35:56I have had to make a very tough decision about the car.

36:02I love Sally, but she just costs too much.

36:20To give Ronnie everything he needs, Katie is surrendering her car back to the finance company.

36:27It was a tough decision giving up Sally, but I know it was the right one.

36:31Because that means I've got about £800 a month to then get Ronnie what he needs and get me

36:37out of the debt.

36:38They may be absent, but the wise words of Noel and Sue are ringing in Katie's ears.

36:43I've been thinking what Mum and Dad would do, and what Dad would say is spend what you earn.

36:51Bye-bye!

36:52I guess I've tried to buy the world for Ronnie.

36:57I pay too much attention to what I think I should have.

37:00But I think at the end of the day all I need is a smile for Ronnie, and that cost me nothing.

37:06I am very proud of myself with how resilient I have been, that I dealt with all of this

37:14on my own.

37:15I'm proud of you for making that decision, Katie, because I know your car was proud and

37:20joy.

37:21It was a tough decision, but...

37:22We arrived!

37:23Baby!

37:24Denise's feeding!

37:25Yes, it is!

37:26Yay!

37:27We're here to facilitate you, you're here to do it.

37:40It's crunch time.

37:42The final survival challenge requires five of the family to submerge themselves in the freezing

37:47water.

37:48Yeah, what was that stage for?

37:49I think it's a bit of teamwork, encouraging each other to do, to go through with the challenge.

37:58I like just self-discipline.

37:59After initial resistance...

38:01I'm up for it.

38:02I mean, I'll go in.

38:05Everyone has agreed to do it, with one exception.

38:09I don't care what anyone says, I'm not getting in that wake.

38:16I completely understand Tilly not wanting to do the final challenge, but I think we'd

38:22already done so much and we just didn't want Tilly to miss out.

38:27This is something they can say they've done.

38:29Getting yourself to overcome your fears and go for it.

38:33Don't be afraid of the unknown, push yourself.

38:35Enjoy life.

38:36Tilly, do you think you could do it?

38:41I'll try.

38:42Amazing.

38:43The comment I hear in the house the most is, I can't do that.

38:47Well, from now on, there's no such word as can't.

38:50They'll surprise themselves what they can achieve.

38:53Don't be afraid of this.

38:54This is all about life.

38:56Grab it.

38:57I think Tilly's as strong as anything.

38:59She has really sort of pushed herself into this.

39:02I think if she does go ahead with this challenge, it'll really matter.

39:05Sooner you get this done.

39:06Sooner you get this done.

39:07Being in our family is the ultimate example of teamwork.

39:10If one needs help, then we all help.

39:14Let's go.

39:16It's time.

39:18You need to strip down to your bare minimum.

39:21Do you understand?

39:22Yep.

39:23Shoes off, socks off.

39:24Let's go.

39:25When I was approaching the water, I felt very, like, scared and nervous because the water

39:34was dark, the sky was dark, and I couldn't see what was in it.

39:38But then I blinked on to my family.

39:40So I had them with me, like, holding on to me, and I was holding on to them so I wasn't

39:45scared at all.

39:46Everyone stay together.

39:47When you got in there, just a shock run through your body.

40:07Everything felt really tense.

40:09Like, you couldn't really breathe.

40:12But then, and I can't explain it, a certain exhilaration.

40:16Well done.

40:17Excellent stuff!

40:19The dynamic within that family is excellent.

40:22The whole family is a standout for their teamwork.

40:25Absolutely brilliant.

40:29All together!

40:31Down!

40:32Put your head under.

40:33You'll be all right.

40:41Okay, guys.

40:42Up here.

40:46You're coming out the water.

40:47Your emotions go from exhilarating because you've done the challenge, and next it's panic

40:53because you're so cold.

40:55The Bradfords are in danger.

40:58If they don't act fast, hypothermia could set in within minutes.

41:02Up here, what do we need?

41:03Let's go!

41:04Switch on!

41:05I want two fires!

41:07This is a survival situation.

41:08Josh, let's see you move, let's see you help.

41:11Still fighting against the shock of the cold, it's vital the family get heat.

41:15And quick.

41:16Peace him up.

41:17It's it.

41:18Come on, guys.

41:19Get that fire going.

41:20It's life or death now.

41:21Two fires!

41:22One!

41:23No, no, no!

41:24No, you don't need that guy.

41:25No!

41:26Let Tilly do it!

41:27Yay!

41:28Good girl!

41:30The skills they've learnt have proved crucial.

41:37How we've been taught to do it today just made it so quick and simple to do.

41:43And the fire's just got going.

41:45Josh, you need to get the heat into your core, okay?

41:46So, you kneel down closer to it, that's it.

41:47As soon as we got warm, the mood changed completely to one of euphoria.

41:56None of us wanted to do it or thought we could do it, but we did it.

42:00I might go past me for a split second, but you know.

42:03Well, Daisy started crying as soon as we dropped his first turn.

42:06Aw!

42:07She's like, no!

42:08No!

42:09I couldn't!

42:10I feel brave or so cold.

42:14This evening, everyone's just, yeah, loving life.

42:18You think it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunities.

42:21You do it, you get past it, and then you think, personally, I'm very cool for that.

42:26Really proud of them.

42:29They all did incredible.

42:34Almost two days after they arrived, the survival challenge is over.

42:39We're done.

42:55End of camp.

42:57No devices, you know, no TV, no nothing.

43:02We did have a TV, but we've just put it out.

43:04The family have come a long way since the Troubles of Florida.

43:09As a parent, you know, we spoil the kids, and then have we created problems for ourselves, you know?

43:15Yeah.

43:16Sometimes you sort of look in the mirror and think, the real problem is, is it us?

43:21So, we'll be a bit stricter with them from now on.

43:26But, I think the plan paid off.

43:30They know now how far they can push themselves, and what they're capable of.

43:35I didn't know that I was able to do any of that stuff, but with the right effort, you can do whatever you really want to in life.

43:43I've already done that.

43:45I learned that teamwork is great, because you can't just do everything yourself.

43:52I've learned how to have fun without my tablet.

43:57I have learned that I can push through harder times than I thought.

44:01I don't like being out of a comfort zone.

44:04But, I have shown myself that I can push myself, because you would not catch me ever doing this.

44:09But, I did do it.

44:12We found out how resilient the kids are, actually.

44:15Yeah.

44:16They're a lot more tougher than what I thought they'd be.

44:18Come on.

44:19And I think we've come away a stronger family unit.

44:22Definitely.

44:23Come on.

44:24Right, how far did you say that takeaway was?

44:27Then, even the .

44:30There's one to walk far away.

44:37Yeah.

44:38Obviously, but it's not a struggle.

44:41Maybe it's not even moreשר and just the time we've learned the time to go into the final marathon.

44:48Which is really cool.

44:50And it really becomes his plan.

44:52Because it's very difficult.

44:54Because you've learned the days in the summer.
