Bradley Walsh & Son: Breaking Dad - Episode Guide

The trip begins in the City of Angels, Los Angeles, where the duo collect their enormous 36-foot, 7.5 tonne RV - their home for the trip. Barney does his best to put Bradley at ease by kitting it out with all of his dad's favourite creature comforts, from Hob Nobs and Branston Pickle to board games and an Arsenal duvet cover.

In episode two, Barney and Bradley leave LA behind them and head into the desert towards Arizona as they venture onto the famous Route 66. Barney tells Bradley that after years of watching Westerns, he's decided his dad should go to cowboy college.

In episode three Bradley and Barney are in Texas where they visit a space centre, learn how to fire tanks and hear campfire tales about UFOs.

The final chapter in Bradley and Barney's voyage sees them visit New Orleans. Brad feeds alligators in the Bayou, has a spiritual MOT by a voodoo priest and gets on board the Natchez jazz Steamboat, before leading a street parade to end an epic trip.

The actor Bradley Walsh and his son Barney return for a second series as they embark on another road trip across America together, beginning their journey in Florida, the southernmost point of the country. From there, the pair head to the Palm Beach International Raceway, before getting up close and personal with sharks.

In episode two, Bradley and Barney leave the beaches of Florida behind and head north into the mountains of Georgia, hoping for a sighting of the legendary Big Foot.

In episode three, Bradley and Barney head further north into the state of Kentucky where Bradley is put to the test with a spot of abseiling, ghost-hunting and boxing.

In episode four, Bradley and Barney leave Kentucky behind and travel 150 miles north to the mid-west city of Dayton, Ohio – the birthplace of aviation.

In episode six, Bradley and Barney continue through the snow to New Hampshire where they try rally driving, before finishing their trip with wilderness training and lobster fishing in the sub-zero temperatures of Maine. 

With their travel exploits currently on hold, and reams of unseen film in the archives, Brad and Barney settle down to reflect on some of the magic moments from their two American adventures – many of which not even they've seen before. 

Armed with popcorn and refreshments, the Walshes watch back everything from additional unseen footage to moments the boys captured on their phone, behind the scenes clips with the crew and fun compilations of their road trip antics. These include more sing-along bangers from their brilliant playlist, Brad's jokes, their favourite snacks, plus quizzes and games they'd play to pass the time. 

As they go on this trip down memory lane, Brad and Barney can stop, pause and rewind at any moment to comment on what they see. Letting us in on even more stories and reactions to what Brad describes as ‘…the highlight of [his] life.' 

Rounding off the show, is an uplifting montage; depicting some of the very best moments from their trip. 

In the first episode of the series they'll be travelling from their home in Essex all the way to the Amalfi Coast in Italy, but the first stop on their road trip is The Netherlands, where they try out one of the country's oldest sports, canal jumping.  The action continues when the pair don lycra for a spot of velodrome track cycling, alongside a world champion, and before they leave the country, father and son take on the world's tallest freestanding climbing wall.

Bradley and Barney continue their European adventure in Germany. They head to the city of Frankfurt, where Brad is pushed to the edge, literally, as he attempts to abseil down the side of a building, facing forwards. The boys also make a stop at a bratwurst-themed hotel and soak up some local Bavarian culture when they have a go at finger wrestling. The pair finish off their time in Germany with a wet and wild adventure in the mountains.

The next stop on Bradley and Barney Walsh's European road trip is Switzerland. 

They take in the breath-taking views with a ride on a mountain rollercoaster, before exercising their vocal chords when they try the Swiss tradition of yodeling. The following day, Barney arranges a unique way for them to enjoy some local cheese, and then drive to the Contra Dam, where Barney reveals they are about to attempt one of James Bond's most iconic stunts, a petrifying 220 metre-high bungee jump.

The father and son have reached Slovenia, a country that loves its sport.

Brad's passion for bikes gives Barney an excuse to take his dad motocross racing, which turns out to be a very slippery challenge.

After hearing that one in 200 people in Slovenia is a beekeeper, they make a stop to meet one, but they won't be seeing any bees. Instead, they will be treated to some unusual honey therapies.

Upon reaching the capital city of Ljubljana, things take a magical turn when the pair join Slovenia's national Quidditch team, followed by a trip towards the mountains in Planica, where they have a go at the notoriously dangerous sport of ski jumping. Their stay in Slovenia ends with a visit to one of the country's most spectacular caves.

For the penultimate leg of their journey, Bradley and Barney head to Italy, starting in the picturesque Lake Garda, where Barney surprises his dad by explaining they'll be running off the top of Monte Baldo and paragliding over the lake below.

Soon after, Bradley takes a dip in the lake when he tries paddleboard yoga.

The next day the guys travel to the River Po for a boat trip like no other, as Bradley is treated to a hair-raising ride in a Formula 1 speed boat.

They then head towards the coast for an incredible surprise when father and son are invited to the home of opera superstar, Andrea Bocelli.

Barney and Bradley Walsh embark on the final leg of their European road trip, as they continue to explore Italy.

Bradley and Barney Walsh will be up to snow good as they take their famous RV across the sea to the magical island of Iceland, for a special bumper Christmas episode of the beloved father and son travel show. 

The Walsh boys will test themselves to frosty new limits in the country of volcanoes, glaciers and breath-taking landscapes, finding Christmas joy and terrifying challenges in equal measure. That's why Dads go to Iceland!

By the end of all their festive frolics, will they discover the most valuable Christmas experience is spending time with the people we love, or will they be left bickering about their frostbite?

Bradley and his son embark a 3,000-mile journey through Europe, aiming to experience extremes from the fiery heat of the Mediterranean to the icy tundras of the Arctic Circle. They begin in Croatia, where they swing off the roof of Hajduk Split's football stadium, before diving headfirst into the crystal-clear waters of the Adriatic. The action continues when the pair go head-to-head on aqua bikes alongside a former world champion, before heading to the capital Zagreb to meet a young inventor, who stuns them with his electric creation.

Bradley and Barney say hello to Hungary, where the boys take to Lake Balaton for some high-speed catamaran sailing before sampling some world-famous goulash.

The pair continue their European adventure in Poland, going sightseeing in Krakow before attending an exclusive performance by the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra in honour of Poland's most famous composer Chopin.

The boys arrive in Denmark for the Scandinavian leg of their tour. Bradley's fear of heights is pushed to the limit with a visit to an offshore wind turbine.

The actor and his son head to Sweden, where they go head-to-head in a curling competition alongside the country's women's team in Stockholm. The next day, Barney treats his dad to an infamous fishy delicacy for breakfast, then takes him paintballing with a Western twist, and finally lines up a musical surprise for big Abba fan Bradley.

The actor and his son conclude their latest trip by heading to Norway, where Barney has arranged to meet a local adventurer, who dares them to sit in icy water before showing them a spectacular stunt by diving from 20 metres head-first into a lake. They then go to Lillehammer home to sample the bobsleigh run used in the 1994 Winter Olympics, before going into the Arctic Circle to try out one of the world's most northerly surfing spots.

Walsh Senior and Junior embark on another challenge-filled road trip and this time they are in for a real culture shock as they head to Latin America. They start out in Mexico, where they grapple with one of the country's most famous sports - lucha libre wrestling. The next day they are in for a fright when they visit an eerie island inhabited by creepy, decrepit dolls - but something far more scary is waiting for them when they find themselves clinging to the side of a mountain.

The Walshes are still in Mexico and still on the side of a mountain. Can they complete the final part of the challenge, which requires Bradley to swing across the top of the mountain with nothing but a terrifying drop below him? Once recovered, the father and son head toward Mexico's coast, where Barney takes his dad inside a pitch-black cave that's home to snakes and thousands of bats. They also have fun at a waterpark before joining the cast of Cirque du Soleil.

The Walshes reach Guatemala and pick up their new mode of transport, which quickly becomes a nightmare for Bradley to drive. They travel into the jungle, where they abseil down a cliff face into a waterfall and meet a quirky shaman who believes in the healing powers of chocolate. They then head off for a bike ride - but what Barney forgets to mention to his dad is that they are riding on a tightrope 25 metres in the air.

The father and son duo's road trip takes them to Nicaragua, where they meet some colourful characters in the local market, and get a taste of the national sport when they join a professional baseball team. With the country renowned for its volcanoes, the pair take one of their most dangerous and spectacular challenges, as they descend into an active volcano.

The duo's Latin America road trip continues as they arrive in Costa Rica, where Brad's fear of heights is tested as Barney arranges a flight in a tiny, roofless helicopter to take in some of Costa Rica's breathtaking coastal views. Later, the pair meet a quirky animal lover, before heading to the capital city of San Jose, where they join a local Roller Derby team for a match against their biggest rivals.

The duo continue to explore Costa Rica. Inspired by childhood memories, the pair head to the country's cloud forest, where they attempt tree climbing. They also visit a local sanctuary that is home to 2000 free roaming dogs, before heading into the countryside to meet a former Olympian in Kayak Slalom, where the father and son go head-to-head in a time trial.

The pair reach the final stop on their Latin America road trip as they arrive in Panama, where they spend time with some local indigenous tribes and compete in some ancestral games. When the pair reach the capital city, the skyscraper skyline is a big clue to what Barney has in store for his dad, and Brad is not pleased when he finds out they will be cleaning the windows of one of those skyscrapers. Finally, Bradley and Barney end their trip with a visit to meet Grammy Award-winning jazz musician, Danilo Pérez.
