Episode 1

In this episode, Welsh factory workers and father and son, Chris and Daniel ditch their usual budget camping breaks for an all-expenses paid holiday in Miami Beach! They're swapping with big spending family Maisie, partner Liam and Maisie's ten-year-old daughter Gracie who thinks a £1500 price tag on a pair of shoes is cheap! Instead of their usual five-star luxury hotels, they're heading to Hartlepool in the North East to stay on a sail-boat not much bigger than their car!

Daniel's hoping this trip is a chance to get his mojo back. After a car crash a few years ago, recovery has been tough and his Dad has been his rock. This holiday is a chance for Daniel to share the experience of a lifetime with his father, to thank him for all his support and to create lasting memories.

Stateside, Chris and Daniel embrace the VIP Miami lifestyle with activities including a private speed boat tour, getting behind the wheel of a convertible mustang, rollerblading beach side with the super glamorous, and feeding alligators in the Everglades national park. Will the trip be a chance for Daniel to show his appreciation for his father and will Miami's glitz and glamour help Daniel discover his lost mojo?

In Hartlepool, sharing close quarters below deck doesn't float Liam's boat and the family are unimpressed by the tiny kitchen, wobbly accommodation and the awful weather. But the trio desperately need to spend quality time together and mum Maisie hopes the budget break will provide an opportunity for partner Liam and daughter Gracie to strengthen their bond. Will taking part in budget activities like donkey rides, museum trips and eating battered burgers persuade them they can have more fun as a family without the trappings of luxury?

Welsh couple, bin man Stephan and student nurse Gemma, get an all-expenses paid delayed honeymoon to the Maldives. They're swapping with flash city boys Jeff and Steph who spend big bucks on designer clothes and super cars. These friends think nothing of dropping ten grand on their usual sun-soaked holidays to Ibiza or Dubai so how will they fare sharing a twin room in a budget B&B in Skegness?

Life is full on for Gemma and Stefan. Stefan dreams of becoming a paramedic but for now that's on hold. As well as looking after two children, Gemma is studying to be a nurse and her shift patterns leave little time for romance. Last year the couple got married but with limited funds, they skipped the honeymoon and went on a cheap break to Benidorm with their kids.

The Maldives is a world away from their usual holidays in South Wales. With a private aquavilla overlooking the Indian Ocean, it's like something from a screen saver. As the couple try snorkeling, seafood in a fine dining restaurant, and ariel yoga for the first time will this magical environment allow romance to blossom and ignite their passion to pursue their dreams for a better future?

In Skegness, Jeff and Steph bunk up in a twin room in Julia's budget B&B. Used to extravagant party-fuelled trips to Ibiza and Dubai, the cold temperatures and grey skies are a bit of a shock to the system. By their own admission, they're out of touch with reality and came here to appreciate what they have. With a week packed with activities, from line dancing to go-karting, can these city boys appreciate what Skegness has to offer and find the fun on a British budget break?
