Actor Bradley Walsh and his 20-year-old son Barney are hitting the road together for a four-part series, travelling over 2000 miles from Los Angeles to New Orleans. They might be father and son but when it comes to travelling they are worlds apart, with Bradley keen to relax while Barney wants to live life a little more on the edge. Worried his old man is too stuck in his ways, Barney has decided to take matters into his own hands with an adventurous trip that his dad will never forget.
With Barney about to turn 21 and leave home, he has convinced Bradley this is the perfect time for a father and son trip in the US. Starting in the showbiz capital of the world, LA, they will travel through Arizona and Texas to New Orleans in the deep south, with plenty of surprises along the way. Adrenaline junkie Barney is determined to push Bradley to his limits with alligator feeding, cowboy training, intense space simulators, driving and firing tanks AND – Brad’s worst nightmare – a small spot of sky diving all on the secret agenda. It’s sure to be one hell of a ride.
Breaking Dad was the highest rating celebrity travelogue of the decade with a series high of 6.5 million viewers.
Following the successful first series, Barney has since dragged his father across the East Coast of America and Europe, sharing even more heart pounding and heartfelt moments along the way.
