Matt, Mike and Janice head down by the riverside in Durham for one of the biggest events in this historic city's social calendar - the 191st Durham Regatta. Elsewhere, the family explore some of the wonders of the regatta's historic surroundings, discover the secrets of Durham Castle, and get a lift in a rare vintage car to see the exotic wonders housed in the wonderful Durham University Botanic Garden.

Matt, Janice, Mike and Archie head to the Northumberland County Show, north-east England's biggest annual rural festival, this time accompanied by Archie the puppy. They get to a behind-the-scenes peek at what it takes to put on such a massive event, help prep some of the award-winning animals, and enter Archie into two of the categories.
