Grow Up, Dad!

Twenty-eight-year-old Cameron wants his dad to stop acting like a child and be more of a father figure to him.

Dad, Mark, has a history of getting drunk on nights out and holidays, wearing his comedy English breakfast face mask in shops and supermarkets – and generally embarrassing Cameron, who has pleaded with him on many occasions to ‘grow up’. On the flip side, Mark says his son can be self-centred, and he doesn’t always feel able to confide in him.

Bear sets the pair a water-collecting task to help them discover the power of teamwork – if they can stop bickering. Then, they’re tasked with preparing pheasant on the campfire for dinner.

In a conversation with psychologist Tara, Cam reveals that his dad’s unwillingness to take his feelings into consideration feels like a rejection. And Mark confides that he hasn’t always been able to open up to Cameron – even concealing a recent health scare.

Then, the pair take on an epic rescue mission in the dramatic landscape of a north Wales quarry. The only way to succeed is if they learn to pull together, communicate and bond as father and son.
