S2E1 - St Martin v The Gambia

Upmarket Bournemouth hoteliers-cum-property-developers the Dixon-Boxes invite Blackpool strippers the Westheads along on a luxury break to French ski resort St Martin de Belleville, before joining their erstwhile guests on a jaunt to an island off the Gambian coast

S2E2 - Menorca Villa v France

The fun-loving Jefferies from Bedfordshire enjoy an alcohol-fuelled break at a Menorcan villa in the company of the more contemplative Secks from Devon, who give a mixed reaction to their hosts' endless partying. Then it is off to the French Pyrenees for a yoga-based retreat, which gradually works its magic on the initially sceptical Jefferies, who concede that a dash of spirituality can add zest to life

S2E3 - Lech v Benidorm

The Greenwoods from Yorkshire and the Barbers from Lancashire get a taste of each other's favourite holidays. The Barbers' idea of fun is a snowboarding break in the Austrian resort of Lech, while the Greenwoods prefer a spot of karaoke in Benidorm - and before long the two families are at loggerheads over such sensitive issues as swearing, football and jogging

S2E4 - New York v Salt Lake City

The Churchers from Southampton like nothing better than searching for bargains amid the hustle and bustle of New York. They meet the Bells, a family of Mormons from London who spend their holidays in Salt Lake City, the spiritual home of their faith. All goes well when the two groups sample each other's schedules - until disputes about budgets, junk food and relentless tour guides threaten to spoil the atmosphere
