00:00Woohoo!
00:02Rich holidays
00:02Look at that!
00:04I can't imagine waking up to that every morning!
00:06Are the stuff of dreams
00:07Oh my god!
00:09We've got our own plans, post days!
00:12But can cheap getaways
00:14be just as fun?
00:16I'm having a good time!
00:18I'm not getting in that!
00:19For the first time, wealthy jet-setters
00:22This is the life!
00:23And hard-up holiday-makers
00:25They do look really pussed
00:28travel together on two wildly different trips
00:32Do you guys drink alcohol?
00:33No
00:33At all?
00:34No
00:34To experience each other's idea of the perfect break
00:38The universe is really powerful
00:40If only positivity could pay the bills
00:42Can the rich rough it?
00:44There is no way on God's green earth
00:46that you or me are going in this
00:48Can the less wealthy stomach lavish luxury?
00:51I'm gonna be sick
00:52I hate that you made me touch seafood, how about that?
00:55And at the end
00:56A hundred and thirty-four thousand
00:58You could buy my house and landscape my garden
01:02Will one family's holiday heaven
01:04Give me off, give me off, give me off, give me off
01:06Be another's holiday hell?
01:08Yes, get mash off
01:09Absolutely not
01:10This is possibly going to be the worst holiday I've ever been on
01:18Do you remember that song that we did?
01:22With the tambourines
01:22Okay, shall we do that?
01:24Rich friends Jackie and Martine
01:25waltzed through life with a spring in their steps
01:29Sit still
01:30She's gonna
01:31She's gonna drive me nuts
01:32Yes
01:33I probably will drive me nuts
01:35They met over 50 years ago
01:38strutting their stuff with dance group The Young Generation
01:41It's been my happiest times performing on TV as a dancer
01:45Step or change? Step or change? Step or change?
01:47Now aged 69 and 70
01:49These grandmas show no signs of slowing down
01:52In life
01:53You've got to try everything
01:55I don't think age should stop you
01:56La la la la
01:59I'm all about
02:00Fun
02:02Firecracker Jackie still loves the limelight
02:05And recently recorded a single in glitzy Saint Tropez
02:12It's tongue in cheek
02:17In Saint Tropez
02:19Wonderful
02:21As well as teaching dance
02:23Jackie's now a mover and shaker in the property world
02:26With a talent for flipping houses
02:28Property has made me quite a lot of money
02:30Yeah, profit on the last property I did
02:32I made about £50,000
02:34Martine also has the Midas Touch running a successful dance school
02:39Business is fantastic
02:41I consider myself very lucky to be in this position
02:45When it comes to holidays
02:46These go-getters seek out high-octane activities
02:50This is in the Cayman
02:51Doing some scuba diving there
02:53And then
02:53Ah, paragliding
02:55And then there's the flying zip warrior
02:57Oh yeah, yeah
02:57In Sri Lanka
02:58If it looks like fun
02:59They'll throw money at it
03:01The most expensive holiday I've been on
03:03Is the Ice Hotel in Sweden
03:05It cost about £12,000
03:06It was one of the most incredible experiences
03:09I have ever had in my life
03:11And as for the food
03:13It's first class all the way
03:15I'm a real foodie
03:17And if it looks good and it tastes good
03:19I really don't mind how much it costs
03:21Martine is a foodie too
03:23And can also be picky about her fellow holiday makers
03:26How will she cope with people used to budget breaks?
03:30The worst thing would be is if they really didn't want to interact
03:32Or not do anything
03:34Cheers
03:35Can we rust it?
03:36This is going to be interesting
03:38Yeah, very
03:41Ooh
03:41How are you getting so lucky?
03:43Because I'm good
03:44It's not luck
03:45It's skill
03:47Portsmouth
03:48Home to besties Kelly and Louis
03:51Can you reach them up there?
03:52Nineteen, yeah
03:55They met through friends 11 years ago
03:58And have been inseparable ever since
04:00If you spoke to anyone they would say
04:02They're like an old married couple
04:03Definitely, yeah
04:04So yeah
04:04That's how we like it though
04:07Unfortunately that is very true
04:08It is
04:0929 year old happy-go-lucky Louis
04:12Works shifts for a budget airline
04:14But still hasn't flown the nest
04:16And lives with mum and dad
04:18I don't feel like I've got enough money behind me
04:20To go and put a deposit down somewhere
04:22Louis gets stuck into anything
04:24And earns extra cash flipping burgers at his dad's truck stop cafe
04:28Service please, burger ready
04:30Good afternoon, Kelly speaking
04:3334 year old Kelly, a single mum to an eight year old daughter
04:37Works for a transport company
04:39Yeah, that's all done for you
04:40I sort of work as hard as I can
04:42Sometimes I'll even work a night shift
04:44Just because the night shifts are a bit more money
04:46Two for four there
04:48Each month after bills and food
04:50Kelly is left with just 125 pounds
04:54Look, buy one get one free there
04:56Well, I remember it was bargain
04:56Yeah
04:57There's so much you want to buy
04:59But you can't
05:00So don't spend on things that aren't necessarily needed
05:06Holidays for this pair are cheap as chips
05:08But always cheerful
05:11We like Benidorm
05:12Oh, yes
05:13We love Benidorm
05:14Or we'll do a nice little caravan break, won't we?
05:17Yep
05:18Enjoy the caravans
05:19Usually always go to the arcades
05:21We tend to do that sort of once a day, don't we?
05:24To keep costs down, it's self-catering or budget fast food
05:28I mean, we don't really go out to eat that much
05:31But if we do, we'll always get like a sharing platter
05:33And it works out cheaper sometimes as well
05:35So why go on holiday with complete strangers?
05:38We're taking part in this to see how the upper half live
05:43But posh active holidays aren't top of Kelly's bucket list
05:47Some people enjoy doing yoga at 6am or going for hikes
05:52And I'm more of a pina colada by the pool kind of girl
05:55The pairs are spending a week together on two very different trips
06:00Oh my god, the envelope is here
06:02They'll be going on a top-notch holiday that's the norm for Jackie and Martine
06:07First though, a bargain break that's right up Kelly and Louie Street
06:11This is a bit like The Olsen, isn't it?
06:13It is a bit like The Olsen, I'm a bit scared to open it
06:14If we stayed somewhere where rooms were dirty, pubic hairs in the bed
06:19Oh!
06:19It's like, you know, dirty toilets
06:23That is my worst nightmare
06:25You are going on a budget break to Western Supermare
06:30Oh my god!
06:31Sleeping in a back-to-basic static caravan
06:34Oh my god!
06:35Bit of us that
06:36It is very us, very us indeed
06:39Western Supermare is a classic British seaside town
06:42Attracting 750,000 visitors each year
06:46Who come for its sandy beaches, pier, arcades and cheap accommodation
06:51Both pairs will be staying in ten-foot-wide static caravans on a holiday park
06:58And just like Kelly and Louie, Jackie and Martine will have to make do with basic essentials
07:03I don't think the other couple realise what they've signed up for, do they?
07:07No
07:08It's the first day of the budget holiday
07:10Hello!
07:12Oh my god, this is so exciting!
07:15I'm a little bit nervous
07:16Yeah, this is going to be a challenge
07:18Quite intrigued to know what they're going to feel like coming on one of our holidays
07:22Hopefully they're packing all the right stuff
07:24You never know, they might enjoy it
07:26Yeah, yeah
07:26Okay, we're done, we're set
07:28Let's do it
07:30Let's go
07:30Kelly and Louie know all the tricks for caravanning on a budget
07:34Rule one, bring your own food
07:37Cool bag
07:38Yep
07:38Bacon
07:39Yep
07:40Bread
07:40Yep
07:42But Jackie and Martine have other priorities
07:45I brought my hairdryer because I thought there just won't be a hairdryer there
07:48I've got a hairdryer, where do we, did we really need to bring two?
07:52Yes
07:52Show the other couple how it's done
07:54Yep
07:54Living off one of the best caravan holiday of their lives
07:57Probably the only one as well
08:00The holidaymakers will meet for the first time after they've checked out their caravan
08:05Caravan's for sale, we could buy a caravan
08:08Look!
08:09For 12,000 that's what you spent on your holiday
08:12All right, number 15, yeah?
08:14Oh, there it is
08:15Kelly and Louie are on familiar turf
08:18Oh, this is nice
08:20Oh, here
08:22But Jackie and Martine have never set foot in a caravan
08:26Oh my goodness
08:30Oh wow
08:31Bloody hell
08:34Oh my god
08:35That's yours
08:38That's the mattress
08:39Oh, that's the most important thing as well
08:41Oh dear lord
08:41Oh no
08:43Upmarket Martine is more used to high-end hotel suites
08:46I've not done a caravan site
08:49I've not done a caravan site
08:49So this is definitely more basic than I'm used to
08:54Do we make our own vets then?
08:56Yep
08:56My god, are we going to be able to stay here?
09:00It's the moment everyone has been waiting for
09:03The two couples from different sides of the wealth divide
09:06Are about to meet for the first time
09:09Oh my goodness
09:10Hi
09:10Hello
09:12Hi
09:13Hi
09:13Lovely
09:14Look at you
09:14Nice to meet you
09:17Hi Louie
09:17Lovely to meet you
09:18Thank you
09:20We come from Hertfordshire in Buckinghamshire
09:22Oh, nice
09:23Very nice
09:23So have you been here before?
09:25No, it's our first time but we like to do caravans a lot
09:28When we first met Louie and Kelly
09:29You know, they were fun, bubbly, laughing, hugging
09:32And I thought, yeah, great couple
09:35Jackie's 70
09:36What?
09:37No way
09:37And Martine's 60
09:39I'll be 17 next year
09:40No way
09:41Wow
09:41Honestly, you don't look, both of you do not look at your ages
09:44Well, that's very nice of you
09:44I will buy you a drink tonight
09:47There was no awkward silence
09:48If anything, we were all talking at the same time
09:51The newfound friendship is about to be tested
09:54As Jackie and Martine inherit Kelly and Louie's holiday budget for food and activities
09:59Mmm
10:01100
10:02110
10:03120 pounds
10:04What would that get us on a holiday?
10:07A normal holiday?
10:08Yeah, well, you know, normal
10:09That's probably a one night meal
10:10It would be
10:11For two people
10:12We're foodies
10:13So, yeah, that's a tight budget
10:15In Western Supermare, the ladies will have to make do with cheap seaside grub
10:21You like mushy peas?
10:22No, I don't
10:22Curry sauce?
10:24No
10:24No
10:26I'm going to look at your feet
10:27Yeah, go for it
10:28Yeah, go for it
10:28Oh my God, you don't mind us doing that?
10:31No, it's not
10:31Unlike Kelly and Louie, rookies Jackie and Martine have lots to learn about caravanning
10:37Bacon
10:38Butter
10:39Yeah
10:40Of course
10:40Oh, hang on a sec
10:42Sausages
10:42Yes
10:43Martine and I came underprepared
10:45There is absolutely no doubt about that
10:48Tonight's dinner is on Kelly and Louie and on the menu, frozen lasagna ready meals
10:53Go on, strum it with us
10:55This is hopeless
10:57Mine's completely frozen
10:59That is such an evil giggle
11:01Having a microwave beef lasagna, I... I didn't know what to think actually
11:06But we immediately knew we were very different
11:09It's a brand new adventure for food lover Martine
11:12Who has never used a microwave
11:15Cannot believe I'm doing this
11:16Oh my God
11:18I'm sure it probably was a shock to their assistant
11:20Oh God
11:21You burnt your tongue
11:23They're not used to having a microwave for me I suppose
11:25Because they're probably used to five-star dining
11:28I think Martine is quite happy to sort of be the lady of leisure
11:32But it's an experience and they're willing to take part
11:36It does feel budget
11:38Definitely budget holiday
11:41Coming up
11:43This is very frustrating
11:44The cracks begin to show
11:46I can honestly say
11:48I don't think I'd do it again
11:49As Jackie and Martine hijack the budget break
11:52Yeah
11:53You do know that you're on our holiday
12:04Two budget savvy buddies
12:06Pool bag
12:06Yep
12:07Bacon
12:07Yep
12:08Are showing a pair of glam go-getters
12:11Oh my goodness
12:12Hi
12:12Hello
12:13Hello
12:13How to holiday on the cheap
12:16120 pounds
12:18We're foodies
12:19So that's a tight budget
12:20Having a microwave beef lasagna
12:23Go on strum it with us
12:24Cannot believe I'm doing this
12:26We immediately knew we were very different
12:31It's the first morning of the budget side of the holiday
12:34It would be nice if there was a sort of you know
12:36Some washing up liquid and a sponge and basics
12:40We've run out of Luron
12:42Unlike Kelly and Louis
12:43Jackie and Martine didn't bring any essentials with them
12:47There's coffee there
12:48No I don't drink instant
12:50Sorry
12:51The 120 pounds in their pocket is usually only enough
12:55To offer a quick money pedi
12:57This is actually looking quite expensive
12:59But today
13:0020 pound of it will buy some basics to survive the holiday
13:04Thank you
13:05It's not just a budget they'll have to adjust to
13:08Good morning
13:09Good morning
13:10It's the holiday activities too
13:12And they're about to find out what they're in for
13:15Crazy golf
13:16Crazy golf
13:16Great
13:17I'm hopeless at golf
13:18Spending your pennies
13:19At the arcade
13:20I haven't done that for years
13:21In fact I've never done it
13:23Yeah
13:24And
13:25Oh my god
13:26Trying to win big at bingo
13:28Yay
13:29We need to think whole stuff
13:31They are not remotely like the activities that I'm used to on holiday
13:36Can't wait to see their reactions when we do all of the activities to be honest
13:38Bingo and arcades though
13:40Yeah I'm well happy about that someday
13:41Yeah
13:42Ready for it
13:43Ready as we'll ever be
13:44Let's get going then
13:46Let's get going then
13:47On their holidays
13:48Jackie and Martine splash the cash on extreme sports like water skiing or abseiling
13:54I think the arcades will be over here on the pier guys
13:57Can they get the same thrill from Western's bargain basement entertainment?
14:01I mean what walk would you want on a caravan holiday?
14:04I mean this is one of our bread and butter activities that we like to do on trips like this
14:08Kelly and Louie allow five pounds each for the arcades
14:12Four
14:13Five
14:14Five
14:14But upmarket Martine's more used to the feel of fifty pound notes
14:20That's it
14:21Yeah
14:22Can Kelly convince her you can have fun on a Fiver
14:26What does this mean Kelly?
14:28Well have you got tickets?
14:29Yeah
14:29So at the end there's a little shop that you can buy things with the amount of tickets you've won
14:33Okay
14:34Pop a pound in there and then just tap the button
14:37What do I win?
14:39I think it's tickets
14:40Oh you've got loads coming down
14:41Look Martine
14:43But businesswoman Martine's used to a higher return on her investment
14:48I think you're barking mad
14:50This is rubbish
14:52Five quid, two left
14:54I think it's all a comment
14:55So I've got 62
14:57I've got 41
14:58I'll let there's a whoopee cushion
15:00How much is that?
15:01400 tickets
15:02Good God
15:03In total they've all spent just 20 pounds
15:05So was it worth it?
15:08I can honestly say I don't think I'd do it again
15:11It's hardly a winning start
15:14Can a cholesterol clogging doughnut sweeten things up?
15:18Are you joking?
15:19No
15:19Hand made doughnuts
15:20Happy lunch
15:21Fatty snacks aren't the usual holiday cuisine for foodie Martine
15:26When you guys do this you can always find something that you like to eat?
15:31All the time
15:31Yeah
15:31What about the sort of health aspect of eating fish and chips, burger?
15:35Well we do obviously cook indoors as well
15:37We'll do like spag bol
15:38I think I'm keen to show them there is other foods rather than pizza, burger
15:44But do you cook healthy food at home?
15:47I tend to eat whatever my mum or my dad cooks me
15:50Okay
15:50So you live with your parents?
15:51I do
15:52Please tell me you do your own washing
15:54No comment
15:57When Louis comes on our holiday it may inspire him to be a bit more independent and to get his
16:04own place
16:05The sugary snack hasn't hit the spot for Jackie and Martine's discerning tastes
16:10So they're hijacking the holiday and seeking out some healthier food
16:14So you don't like shellfish?
16:16No
16:17No I don't even like the smell of it
16:19Oh my god
16:20Me and Kelly just looked at each other and thought why are we even here?
16:23And it's to hell with the budget Jackie and Martine have blown 15 quid on three oysters and a pot
16:29of crayfish
16:31I might need a bucket
16:33It's a first for Kelly
16:36And swallow
16:37Just swallow
16:39Yes girl well done
16:40Done
16:40I haven't swallowed it yet
16:42Have you not?
16:43No
16:44I'm gonna be sick
16:45I've never seen that reaction before
16:47No
16:47I mean poor Kelly I thought she was gonna
16:49I thought she was gonna burst out crying
16:51I don't wanna do this
16:52Can I have a slow bit please?
16:55I'm gonna be sick
16:57It was the most awful thing I've ever done in my life
17:01Today I had a laugh about it
17:02I think a laugh at my expense more than anything
17:05Suck, suck, suck, suck
17:10Which is horrendous
17:12Never again
17:13You do know that you're on our holiday
17:16Yes
17:16This is not my idea of fun
17:22Let's go
17:23Enjoy some bingo
17:25Wow
17:25There's one last chance for the day to pick up
17:28With a budget pastime enjoyed by millions of Brits
17:31Hi guys
17:32Hi guys
17:33Hi guys
17:33So bingo
17:35Oh my god
17:35Martine and I have never played bingo before
17:37As for Kelly
17:39The seafood adventure left her feeling green around the gills
17:42A bit of a disappointment in one for me
17:45Um
17:45I haven't been feeling too great
17:47She's staying in
17:48And leaving bingo fanatic Louie
17:50To get the low cost holiday back on track
17:53So what happens if you get a line?
17:55Is it a shirt?
17:55Yeah, house, bingo
17:57And then what does that mean?
17:58Means you with money?
17:59Yeah
17:59At just a pound a game
18:01Keep your voice down for a minute
18:03It's the cheapest night of the ladies' lives
18:06It's very quiet
18:07It's very quiet
18:07How can I see that?
18:08Really quiet
18:09I'll just tell you
18:10Playing
18:11Don't go for it
18:12Who are we clapping?
18:14Well done
18:14They just got a jackpot win
18:16A thousand pound
18:16They just won
18:17Now we are on to your main event
18:20One and eight and ten
18:22Wait, wait, wait, wait
18:24One and four and thirty
18:26Doing one and twenty-one
18:28Shush
18:29Three and two and fifty
18:32Eight by itself
18:34Lorraine
18:34Oh wow
18:35I have no idea
18:37What's going on
18:38Four and thirty
18:38You're not going to follow that at all
18:40Seven and three
18:41Seven and three
18:42Seven and three
18:42Come on
18:43Three by itself
18:44Number three
18:47Six
18:47There's six
18:48I think they did think it was going to be easy, yeah
18:51Three
18:51Six
18:53But I think they're enjoying it
18:55What is this?
18:55Three
18:56Oh
18:57Hang on
18:58I thought you said it was a line
19:00No, it's a full house
19:05Bingo was a pound
19:07That was a pound's worth of laughing all night
19:10Money well spent
19:13After another night in the caravan
19:15And when I put my makeup on
19:18I do look my age
19:20I can't be having this
19:21No
19:22For minted Martine
19:23The no-frills accommodation is beginning to grate
19:26There's no tea strainer
19:27There's nothing
19:28Absolutely
19:29Zero
19:30There's no a la carte breakfast either
19:33Morning
19:33Hello
19:34Hello
19:35Just a delivery of some greasy fry up ingredients from Kelly and Louie
19:40Did this come out on the budget?
19:41It did
19:41As foodie Martine serves it up, she can't help sneaking in a healthy option
19:47What's that?
19:48That's healthy seeded bread
19:53What do you think?
19:55Not bad
19:55Not bad?
19:56Not bad
19:56Yay! Well done for showing it
19:59At three pounds a loaf, organic seeded bread would never make it onto Kelly or Louie's shopping list
20:04What do you actually do, Kelly?
20:06So, I work as a home operator within the travel industry
20:11Nice
20:12And I also volunteer TA at a junior school
20:15Oh really? That's fantastic
20:16Obviously I haven't got thousands and thousands in the bank
20:20It was a very, very good level to realise that actually people are struggling in life
20:26What do you two ladies do?
20:28What do we do?
20:29I teach dance
20:31It's amazing
20:32Martine and I, our passion is dance
20:34We were in a dance group years ago in the 70s called The Young Generation
20:37Wow
20:38And I renovate properties
20:39And I've done, in the last 18 years I've done 18 properties
20:44It does make us jealous, definitely
20:46But it does make us feel like what could be, in a way
20:50I'll take my hats off to them
20:53Today is a classic seaside activity
20:56Race you in!
20:58One of Kelly and Louie's favourites
21:01Oh my god
21:04Oh my
21:05Their reaction was priceless when they walked in
21:08I don't think they've ever seen anything like it
21:10This indoor UV experience is a far cry from the world class resorts the ladies are used to
21:16Here a club and fluorescent ball is just six quid a pop
21:20Right guys, we've got a school card here
21:22But have a go, Jackie and Martine rarely refuse a challenge
21:27Tiger Woods
21:28Eat your heart out
21:29Eat your heart out
21:30Eat your heart out
21:32Martine, look, this side
21:33Look at this
21:35Oh
21:36Oh
21:37Oh
21:37Oh no
21:39They embraced it, they gave it a go
21:41And we had a really good time
21:44You'll never beat me, Louie
21:45Yes
21:46Great
21:47You know, you've got to try all these things
21:48And I just thought it was great
21:50Oh
21:52Woohoo
21:53You know what, they're fun
21:55They are
21:56And that makes all the difference
21:58Yes
22:02It's the last day of the budget holiday
22:04Look how beautiful this is
22:06That's stunning
22:08How have Jackie and Martine got on with their 120 pound half of the budget
22:14So, ladies, what do we have left?
22:18We have 19 pounds and 75 pence
22:22Oh, some change then
22:23What about you guys?
22:25We have got 32
22:27Oh wow
22:27So, yeah, so
22:28Money spare
22:29Money spare
22:30So guys, what did you think of the holiday?
22:32Well, not what we were expecting in terms of actually it was really nice
22:38Oh good
22:38The most challenging thing has been to get sort of healthy bits of food for us
22:42So you won't be doing a microwave lasagna again?
22:44Definitely not
22:45Definitely not
22:47Next, all change as the couples prepare for the luxury holiday
22:51But first, time to find out the cost of their budget break
22:55The total bill for your holiday is 625 pounds
23:01Wow
23:02That's really cheap
23:03It's a similar price to one ski lift pass
23:07Wow
23:07That's without like sort of your hotel and things like that
23:10Oh yeah
23:11Oh god, yeah
23:11Wow
23:12That does not include anything
23:14Just wow
23:15Basically, me and Kelly just wanted to curl up in a ball and hide
23:18It was just baffling
23:20It's definitely shown them that you can do more with less
23:25The budget side of the break is over
23:28And they're about to discover where they'll be jetting off to on their luxury break
23:33Shall we find out?
23:34Okay
23:34Oh yes
23:35Where we're going to next
23:36This is it first
23:36Do it here
23:37Come on
23:38You are going to Northern Italy
23:42To live the high life in a majestic castle
23:45No!
23:46Oh my god
23:48Oh my god
23:49The holiday makers are heading to the Veneto region of Northern Italy
23:53Where they'll explore the floating city of Venice
23:57And experience breathtaking adrenaline-fueled activities in the Prosecco hills
24:04Staying in the Hotel Castel Brando
24:06One of the oldest in Europe
24:08With world class food
24:10And a spa to match
24:11They will holiday in the lap of luxury
24:16I might get to go on a gondola
24:17Oh yes
24:18Hopefully you will
24:19I've never stayed in a castle
24:20I'm going to be king of the castle by the end of it
24:22You're not posh enough for a castle
24:26Coming up
24:27Wow, look at this
24:28I've got goosebumps now
24:30I've walked in here
24:30Kelly and Louis find out how the other half holiday
24:34This probably is the most beautiful palace in Venice
24:38But does it float their boat?
24:40Get me off, get me off, get me off, get me off
24:42Oh my god
24:43Boring
24:44Boring
24:50Cheers
24:51Two cultured globetrotters
24:54I'm a real foodie
24:55If it looks good and it tastes good
24:56I really don't mind how much it costs
24:58Have been on a budget seaside holiday
25:01Are you joking?
25:02No
25:02Hand-made donuts
25:04Now it's their turn to show two cash-strap bezies
25:08Martine
25:09How to holiday in style
25:11You are going to
25:14Northern Italy
25:15Oh my goodness
25:16To live the high life in a majestic castle
25:19I've never stayed in a castle
25:20You're not posh enough for a castle
25:26The holiday makers are on their way to Northern Italy
25:29This is much better than Western Superman
25:32Very, very, very scenic
25:35Arriving at this exclusive hotspot is like coming home for Martine
25:39You were here a few weeks
25:40You were here a few weeks ago
25:41I was here about four weeks ago
25:42I can't believe it
25:42Skiing
25:43Right in those mountains up there
25:45Going up and up and up
25:46Look, look
25:47Wow
25:48Oh my gosh
25:49Proper castle entrance there
25:52Mamma mia
25:52This is luxurious
25:55Hey guys
25:56Hello
25:56Hello
25:57What do you think?
25:58Do you think this will do?
25:59It is stunning, isn't it?
26:00Bonjour
26:01Hello
26:01Hello
26:03Wow, look at this
26:05The couples are welcomed into a hotel
26:08Look at them stairs, Kelly
26:09Look
26:10How beautiful is that?
26:12Fit for a king
26:13It's just something else, isn't it?
26:15Quite emotional
26:17There might be some tears shed
26:20Shed away, my darling
26:22Kelly and Louis are in a 250 pound a night hotel suite
26:27Wow
26:28Amazing
26:30Wow
26:31It is perfectly conserved in the style of the castle
26:34Stunning
26:36I don't
26:37Are you blown away?
26:37I think I have any words
26:38Oh
26:40Hmm
26:41I could see a bit of a tear in Kelly's eye
26:44It was overwhelming for her to see such splendor
26:48And on a luxury holiday
26:50This is the mini bar
26:51Aww
26:54Kits Kats
26:55The fridge is filled for you
26:57What else have we got?
26:58Peanuts
26:59Really?
27:00You've got this gorgeous room
27:01You've got this amazing place
27:03You've got a Murano glass chandelier
27:05And you're looking at the peanuts
27:07Okay
27:09On the rich side of the holiday
27:11Kelly and Louis will be taking part in Jackie and Martin's type of activities
27:16Woo
27:17So what can money buy?
27:19Luxurating in the spa
27:20Oh
27:22Private tour of the wonders of Venice
27:24Sampling the local tipple
27:26I think I might actually die
27:27There's a gondola ride
27:29There's a gondola ride
27:29You've got what you wanted
27:30The gondola ride
27:31It's a lot different to arcades, isn't it?
27:34Absolutely
27:34We are looking forward to what Venice has got to offer
27:36And we're just going to embrace every moment of it, aren't we?
27:38Yeah
27:38After being in a caravan
27:40This is very different
27:42Yeah, western supermare
27:44Northern Italy
27:46Let me see now
27:48It's the first morning of the luxury holiday
27:51Oh my god, I found gondolas
27:54Bye
27:55For this part of the week, there is no budget to hold them back
27:59They're beautiful, aren't they?
28:00Yeah
28:00They're exploring Venice with a private gondola ride
28:05At 250 quid
28:06It's one of the most expensive ways to see the city
28:12So, don't worry guys, I'm not crazy
28:15I do this because it's a blank corner
28:19The reflections of water on the bridge
28:22So, do you think you'd ever come back here?
28:24Yeah, definitely
28:25Yeah, I think so
28:26Definitely
28:27Definitely amazing, wasn't it?
28:29And Sebastian who took us on the gondola was amazing
28:31We could ask him any questions and he would sort of explain it
28:34But what starts out well
28:36This probably is the most beautiful palace in Venice
28:41Turns wobbly with the waves
28:43It's making me panic every time
28:45Because it goes
28:45The problem is it goes really far, doesn't it?
28:49To one side
28:49Literally like that
28:51Takes you to one side
28:55As the boat starts to rock it all gets too much for Kelly
28:58Get me off, get me off, get me off, get me off
29:01Oh my god, get me off
29:02I need to get up there
29:05I think when I go to bed, close my eyes
29:07I'll probably still be swaying
29:08But, yeah
29:10It's Jackie and Martine's turn to decide where to eat
29:13And the two foodies are craving a freshly cooked Italian meal
29:18Pub
29:19No, no
29:20Please god
29:21No pubs
29:21No, listen, you're in fairness
29:23On their budget break
29:25Kelly tried seafood for the first time
29:28With mixed results
29:31I'm gonna be sick
29:34Now Jackie and Martine have brought them to a Venetian restaurant loaded with...
29:39Yeah, seafood
29:42Are you ready to order?
29:44Are you ready to order?
29:44There's not much here I would like to eat to be honest
29:46Really?
29:47Yeah
29:48Right Kelly, we're not gonna eat here are we
29:49No
29:49Don't tell me you're gonna get a burger
29:51Please
29:51We will let you know
29:52Have a wonderful time ladies
29:54Have you guys
29:54Arrivederci
29:55Oh my god
29:56I can't believe this
29:57He wants a burger
29:58Do you know what?
29:59I wouldn't put it past them to bring it back here
30:01I was not eating anymore seafood
30:03I'm not eating no seafood
30:05In a city bursting with culinary excellence the fast food fans only want one thing
30:10A burger meal deal with a side of chicken nuggets
30:14Oh my god
30:15They came back with a bag
30:17With
30:18Trashy
30:19Fast
30:19American food
30:21Oh no
30:22You've got two
30:22You've got two
30:23Just one
30:24At least one
30:25And the trashy takeout comes with a side of sweet revenge
30:28These are a local delicacy
30:30So you have to try at least one
30:32We have the seafood
30:33If you spit it out you spit it out
30:35It's not actually that bad
30:37Oh god
30:38Martine I've got some hope for you
30:40Come on
30:43That is wild
30:44Oh well
30:45I'm actually highly disappointed in the pair of you
30:49Coming all this way to Italy and then going off and having a burger
30:52It is a shame
30:53Mmm
30:54I mean all we had got them to try was a chicken nugget and you would have thought that
30:58We'd put cat litter in their mouths
31:03Jackie and Martine love nothing more than getting a personalised tour of the city
31:07Hello
31:08Hi
31:09Nice to meet you
31:10For me that's part of a holiday
31:13The cultural side learning about the place that you're walking around
31:16At a cost of 320 pounds
31:18It's not an activity Kelly and Louie would ever spend their hard-earned cash on
31:24Here you can see enjoy the view of the bridge of size
31:27It's a political overpass
31:28It's not a real bridge
31:31Boring
31:32Boring
31:33Yeah
31:36This is the very famous place where Marco Polo the famous traveller used to live
31:41Here just here
31:42See all this area
31:43Even in Venice's world-renowned landmark
31:47So here we are in San Marco square
31:50So here we are in San Marco square
31:51Kelly and Louie are easily distracted
31:55You need to get one of them hiddies
31:57Look they've got more there
31:58Yeah I know and peak ones as well
31:59They're well nice
32:02Yeah luck of adventure I suppose
32:04Whatever you want to call it
32:06Oh
32:07They've disappeared
32:10Unbelievable
32:11This gorgeous guide of ours was telling them
32:14You know about the history of the square
32:17And it's something that they'll possibly never see again
32:20Look they've even got gondolas on them
32:23Jackie and Martine continue on their own
32:26Touch the belly
32:27Touch the belly
32:27We say rub the belly for some more luck
32:31Oh it's very smooth
32:32Shall we go here?
32:33For Kelly and Louie a much needed sit down
32:36A soft drink is 16 euro
32:39Is that how much it is?
32:41Astonishing and gobsmacked is the words I'm going to use for that
32:44Disgusting
32:45I want a glass of Dom Perignon
32:47That's only 500 euros
32:49The money that you spend on certain things here
32:51Is like a 3-4 day holiday for us
32:55And we have fun
32:57Yeah
32:57To put a smile back on their young friends faces
33:00So here's a little blast of the song
33:02Jackie suggests a group sing along
33:04To her upbeat Saint-Tropez single
33:07I mean she chose the right time to drop it didn't she?
33:16Yeah
33:16It's Saint-Tropez when it's a lovely day
33:19Yeah
33:20Me and Kelly weren't very impressed
33:22Bless her
33:24Yes it'll be alright
33:26Made it up to the morning light
33:29It's Saint-Tropez
33:33It was, it was
33:34It was cheesy
33:36But what I really want to do
33:38Is a Venice remix
33:40I'll sing it
33:40You be my back in the dancers
33:41Yes exactly
33:42Get ready
33:43Cue music
33:44Music
33:44We're here today
33:46Just don't get in our way
33:48Cause we're flying high
33:50And we want to say that
33:52Venice is
33:53Venice is really cool
33:56And together we'll have a ball
34:00Yeah, I love it
34:01Yay!
34:07Next on the holiday itinerary
34:09An authentic Italian experience
34:11Designed to tickle the taste buds
34:14They're booked for a private Prosecco tasting
34:17Costing £100
34:18Nearly a month's worth of disposable income for Kelly
34:22We are starting now with a brief introduction
34:25During which I will tell you something general
34:27It's perfect for wine connoisseurs Jackie and Martine
34:31Let's start with the sensory analysis
34:34The wine is completely clear and transparent
34:37With no solid molecules in suspension
34:40I was bored, I was bored when she started the wine tasting chat
34:44So what do you smell?
34:46Grapes
34:49That's the basic answer
34:52But Kelly prefers a more practical approach
34:55What about the taste test?
34:58What about the taste?
35:03It tastes like rust
35:06Which kind of fruit can you smell?
35:08It's lemon smell
35:10Yeah
35:11Berries
35:11Grapefruit
35:12Bits of primrose like
35:14It's that sort of
35:15Grape
35:16For us to have always saw our opinion was a bit of a struggle in there
35:18It's not nearly as strong the aroma as those two
35:22That's true, yeah
35:23As wine buffs Jackie and Martine savour the experience
35:27No frills Kelly and Louie check out
35:30Me and Kelly just felt like
35:31Yeah, you're the poor ones, you can be quiet
35:34Ask which ones talk
35:35We're just over here doing our own thing
35:39I mean it's a bit disconcerting when they were talking
35:41And the lady was trying to
35:43Disrespectful I think is the word you're looking for
35:45Disrespectful for her, you know
35:46Poor woman
35:47I'm here for the cheese
35:48You're either interested in that kind of stuff
35:50Or you're not
35:51And that's it
35:52They were bloody rude
35:56For Kelly and Louie
35:57The rich activities aren't hitting the right nose
36:00Can a dip in the hotel's luxury spa pool
36:03Help them relax into the holiday high life
36:05Look at that view
36:07Beautiful
36:08Bellissimo
36:09Louis and Kelly could never afford this luxury
36:12But as guests of the hotel
36:14It comes as standard
36:16Oh this is nice
36:18Don't you mean
36:19Oh this is deluxe
36:21Yes this is deluxe
36:23Yes this is deluxe
36:23It was definitely a moment to treasure
36:25Yeah
36:25Never got the chance to do anything like that before
36:27And I probably won't get the chance to do it again
36:34Coming up
36:35Whee!
36:36The dizzy heights of the rich holiday
36:38Hang on, hang on, hang on
36:39I really don't think I can do that
36:41Push some of the group to the edge
36:43What am I doing?
36:45And the final dinner
36:47Oh my god
36:49Brings food for thought
36:51That's five months worth of wages for me for this summer
37:02Wealthy friends Jackie and Martine
37:04Wow
37:05Have been showing bargain loving Kelly and Louis
37:08It's the mini bar
37:09Really?
37:10You've got this gorgeous room
37:11And you're looking at the peanuts
37:13What highbrow holidaying is all about
37:16Me and Kelly just felt like
37:18Yeah you're the poor ones
37:20You can be quiet
37:20Let us rich ones talk
37:24The rich holiday is going up a gear
37:26As the group head for an extreme adventure in the Dolomites
37:30Stunning isn't it?
37:32They'll be canyoning
37:33Climbing and abseiling alongside waterfalls
37:36With a private guide costing £330
37:40Welcome in Dolomites
37:42Are you ready?
37:43Yeah
37:44Let's go
37:44Jackie and Martine are old hands
37:47But can they inspire their cautious young friends
37:49To embrace their sense of adventure?
37:52Yay!
37:54Kelly you sure you don't want to do it?
37:55Yeah
37:57A hand injury has put Kelly out of action
38:00Unfortunate but it happens
38:04So Louis steps up for team budget
38:07To take on the unforgiving mountain range
38:10Attention it's really slippery here
38:14Come on
38:15Come on
38:16Come on
38:17Come on
38:18Come on
38:20Come on
38:20Give me five
38:22Yes
38:23But things are about to get trickier
38:26Attach your carabin
38:29Beyond the edge of the waterfall is a 40 metre drop
38:40As intrepid Jackie's resolve waivers
38:44I can
38:44Air steward Louis is full of surprises
38:48And his cabin crew training kicks into action
38:51Very slippery
38:52Sit on your bum
38:54Hold me
38:54I've got you
38:55Make sure you put your feet down at the same time
38:57Stay there
38:58Yeah
38:58Yeah
39:00God that is
39:01Then put your hand on the rope
39:02That's it
39:02Okay
39:03Hang on
39:04Hang on
39:04Attend
39:05Attend me please
39:08Oh my god
39:09I really don't think I can do that
39:11No no
39:11Walk with me
39:12I'm so nervous
39:13I'll tell you
39:14Do you want to do it?
39:14No
39:15Okay
39:16You wouldn't drive to the turn?
39:18Jackie doesn't want to do it
39:19No
39:19No
39:19Jackie's coming off
39:21Jackie may have been defeated by the drop
39:23That was so nerve-wracking
39:25I just couldn't do it in the end
39:28That waterfall is so steep
39:31But Louis and Martine are still in the game
39:34Okay
39:35Are you ready?
39:37Woo
39:37And Louis has stepped up to go first
39:41Wow
39:42What am I doing?
39:43I don't know if I can actually watch
39:46Open
39:48I can't
39:50He's going
39:51No he's going
39:52Go on Louis
39:53Go Louis
39:54Go Louis
39:55Woo
39:56Woo
39:57That's unbelievable
39:59Woo
40:01He's really down
40:03Woo
40:04Woo
40:05Woo
40:09Come on Louis
40:10Woo
40:12Woo
40:14Yay
40:15He's done it
40:17King of the capsule
40:18King of the capsule
40:19King of the capsule
40:19I'm proud of it
40:20I absolutely loved it
40:21And I would do it again
40:23And I wanted to do it again
40:23There and then
40:25Oh here we go
40:26Go on Martine
40:2869
40:2969 year old Martine
40:30Doesn't hesitate
40:31Hi Martine
40:34She's not a spider man
40:37She's definitely done this before
40:39Martine go
40:42Wow
40:44That is amazing
40:45Incredible
40:46I'm so proud of that
40:47Incredible
40:47Woo
40:49Dr. Benny
40:50What does it feel like?
40:52So good
40:52Really?
40:53So bad I've done it
40:57It's the final evening of the holiday
40:59You look lovely the pair of you
41:02So do you guys
41:02So do you
41:02Thank you very much
41:03Tonight in true rich holiday style
41:06They're dining at the hotel's 70 pounds a head restaurant
41:11But how much is the whole holiday coming up?
41:14I don't know if I want to look at this
41:15No
41:17Oh my god
41:198,118 pounds
41:23Yes
41:24I'll be honest
41:27It's not what I would expect for the money that's been spent
41:32That is five months worth of wages to me for this summer
41:35An obscene amount of money for a holiday I must say
41:37Okay
41:37Astonishing wasn't it?
41:39I wouldn't pay that sort of money for a trip like this
41:41With both holidays out of the way
41:43It's a chance for the couples to reflect on their experience
41:47So what do you think you guys have learnt
41:49By going on a budget holiday?
41:51That you can have fun
41:52Oh yeah
41:52And you can do things cheaply
41:55Yeah
41:55I'm not 100% with the food
41:57Yeah, okay, that's fair enough
41:59But Kelly has a few things to get off her chest
42:01I hate that you made me touch seafood
42:04How about that?
42:05Oh, I hate that
42:06I hate the seafood
42:07Yeah
42:08Other stuff
42:08Be honest
42:09The vineyards
42:10I didn't like the facts how you were overpowering Kelly
42:15Totally get that
42:16Yeah
42:16I mean you probably should have actually just turned round and said
42:19I hate you two
42:20Shut up
42:20I think it's because it's something you guys know a lot about
42:23There's been a lot of things on the trip where you've known more than what we would know
42:28Yeah
42:29I'll be completely honest I wouldn't do a holiday like this again
42:36Really?
42:37Yeah
42:37Yeah
42:37We would rather stick to our budget holidays because we come away from that feeling relaxed and happy
42:44Whereas this one we're coming away from it
42:46Needing one of our holidays
42:48Needing a holiday to get over this one
42:50Yeah
42:50I mean don't get me wrong I'd like to have a bit more money than what I do but for
42:54the things that we've done on this trip I wouldn't do
42:57Luxury isn't
42:58Isn't for me
42:58But it's been an incredible experience
43:00It's been an experience
43:03Cheers
43:06Check out time for everyone
43:08Hello
43:09Hello
43:09Hello
43:10Before they part ways the friends are swapping mementos to remind them of their side of the holiday swamp
43:15We got these
43:16Oh my goodness
43:18Fruit salad eh?
43:20Yeah
43:20Sour ice for a nice late food
43:21Very healthy
43:23Now we got you a little something as well
43:25That was heavy
43:25Oh?
43:29Thank you
43:30That's it
43:31Viva Deci
43:32Viva Deci
43:33Bye bye
43:36Back in the UK
43:38They're all reflecting on their two very different holidays
43:42I've had one of the best weeks of my entire life
43:45I have not stopped laughing from start to finish
43:48I absolutely loved it
43:50Learned a lot of new things about how the other half live
43:53You can make a budget holiday work with the right people
43:58Kelly and Louis, they love their budget holidays
44:00And quite frankly, I think they're a lot happier than a lot of wealthy people
44:05What it turned out to be was an amazing week with beautiful places
44:11Beautiful people, friends that are friends for life now
44:15And that just shows you don't need money to have fun
44:20Go
44:21Next time
44:22That is disgusting, mate
44:24Let's get mashed up
44:25Absolutely not
44:26I can't believe this
44:28I've never seen anything like it
44:30I'm getting a right taste for luxury
44:32No, it's freaking me out
44:35Absolute disgusting
44:37Possibly going to be the worst holiday I've ever been on
44:54Possibly going to be the worst holiday I've ever been on
44:59I'm not gonna be the worst holiday I've ever been on
45:01Is this good?
45:01We're not a good holiday the best holiday I've ever been on
45:05I'm getting a right taste for love
45:05I'm getting a right taste for much of my diet
45:06I've never seen anything like it
45:07Thanks for being on
