The dads comedy panel show hosted by Tim Vincent. Aided by Russell Kane and Mick Ferry, Tim talks to comedians Vince Atta and Scott Bennett about how to keep children entertained.

Tim Vincent, former Blue Peter presenter and dad to twin two-year-old boys, hosts this comedy discussion show featuring regular panelists Mick Ferry and Russell Kane.

In this episode, Tim and the gang talk about what activities are best to occupy the minds of children of all ages and their top tips for days out. From money saving tips like having children work with their own budget to theme parks to holiday horror stories and the pitfalls of soft play areas. During the programme one of The Likely Dads raises a grievance about the cost of child places at all inclusive hotels, while another shares a story of having to rescue their children from a tube slide definitely not designed for adults.

In a regular feature, one of The Likely Dads has to guess the answers to questions previously asked of their children. 

Special guests joining Tim, Russell and Mick in this episode are the comedians Vince Atta and Scott Bennett.
