Gimme a Break will see a family from Hertfordshire take a holiday to the Isle of Man instead of their usual destination of France.

The Isle of Man will take centre stage in a kids holiday show this week, to be screened on both CBBC and BBC2.

Gimme a Break will see a family from Hertfordshire take a holiday to the Isle of Man instead of their usual destination of France.

The programme will see the Perks family taking part in adventurous activities including coasteering and kayaking, they’ll also go in search of seals and basking sharks.

The show averages 500,000 per week and last year was top of the pile in terms of most watched children's shows.

It’s thought it will be a fantastic high profile piece of coverage for the Isle of Man.

The show will screen on Thursday at 5.45pm on the CBBC channel.
