“They also found out what the difference between a Bakewell Pudding and Tart is, for their brand new BBC series A Wright Old Adventure.”

The series – consisting of six 30-minute episodes – will see the Wright family celebrate Britain’s holiday hotspots.

They will take on a range of white-knuckle activities along the way – including dog-sledding, zip-wiring and big wave surfing – with the series set to air later this year.
