In episode two, the pair travelled to Lake Balaton in Hungary for some high-speed catamaran and also paid a visit to The House of Houdini, where Bradley attempted a daring escapology stunt. 

The pair also travelled to fantastic locations including Norway, where the pair faced a Bobsleigh track in the Arctic mountains, as well as the town of Zator in Poland, where Bradley dragged his father onto Europe's largest rollercoaster.

Bradley and Barney also stopped off in Sweden and Denmark during the final leg of their journey. 

The series has gone down a storm with viewers so far, who have demanded that the 30-minute long episodes be extended to an hour. Taking to Twitter upon the show's debut, one person wrote: "It’s absolute madness that @itvstudios send the Walsh’s all around the world for a 30 minute a week episode! Squeezed the whole of Croatia into 30 minutes! Such a good show though!" while another added: "These #BreakingDad episodes need to be at least an hour-long because I love Bradley and Barney's banter."
