"Travels With Mum & Dad" paused for family care

Matt Baker, the presenter of the popular Channel 4 show "Travels With Mum & Dad," has decided to pause the series. This decision comes as he expresses concern for the well-being of his aging parents. Matt, who is 47, has been filming with his mother Janice and father Mike while exploring North East England. The show has aired for three series, but as Matt's parents have grown older, filming has become more challenging. According to a source, the family enjoyed making the show but felt the demands were becoming too much. It is reported that they needed to adjust the types of activities and how far they traveled. Matt mentioned that the show could potentially return in a different format, but for now, they are "parking up the caravan." The series started in 2022, showcasing their travels from their family farm in Durham to various landmarks in their caravan. In the past, Matt has spoken about how important it is to spend time with older family members. He hopes that his show can inspire others to take their loved ones out for adventures, despite the challenges of aging. The family gained popularity through their previous series, "Our Farm in the Dales," which highlighted their efforts to support the family farm.
