What We Did on Our Holiday Full Movie Online: A Family Drama

Doug McLeod (David Tennant) and his wife Abi (Rosamund Pike) unite following a tense separation to travel to the Scottish Highlands for Doug’s father Gordie’s (Billy Connolly) 75th birthday. Gordie has terminal cancer so Doug’s brother, millionaire Gavin McLeod (Ben Miller) has arranged a lavish party for him, inviting all the important people in the neighbourhood. Despite difficulties getting their three children, Lottie (Emilia Jones), Mickey (Bobby Smalldridge), and Jess (Harriet Turnbull), to leave the house, they hit the road, but find it congested and they are forced to stop overnight.

The Family’s Unfolding Secrets

Lottie expresses her troubles with trusting her parents following their recent separation and lies to each other; it is revealed that Doug had an affair, which led to Abi moving out and taking legal proceedings against him. They are only travelling to the Highlands together to appear as a couple for Gordie, not wanting to upset him in his final months.

A Twist in Family Dynamics

On arriving at Gavin’s mansion, a tense rivalry becomes apparent between Doug and Gavin. Gordie, despite being extremely ill, is fun-loving and encourages his grandchildren, particularly Lottie, to let go of their troubles and enjoy life. While Gavin, Doug, Abi and Gavin’s wife Margaret (Amelia Bullmore) make the final arrangements for the party, Gordie takes the three children to the beach.

He reveals that he is descended from Vikings, a fact that Mickey in particular is excited about; he reveals his desire to be buried “the Viking way” by being cremated and sent out to sea. He believes this will stop arguments between Doug and Gavin. Later, while Lottie, Mickey and Jess are playing, Gordie dies peacefully.

Unexpected Events Unfold

Lottie returns to the house to tell the adults, leaving her siblings with Gordie’s body. However, when she arrives she sees them all arguing, Abi telling Doug she is seeing someone else and will be moving the children to Newcastle, and Gavin with his family over what Gordie wants for his birthday, Lottie returns to the beach without telling them.

Fulfilling Gordie’s last wish, the three children create an improvised raft and using petrol from Gordie’s pickup, send him out to sea aflame, “Viking” style.

Repercussions and Final Resolution

The children return home and tell the adults what has happened. The adults are horrified, and Doug and Gavin head to the beach, where they find Gordie’s pick-up truck partially submerged by the high tide; Gavin breaks down in Doug’s arms. Abi and Margaret break the news of Gordie’s death to the party guests, and word quickly gets out about what the children did.

While using Gavin and Margaret’s son Kenneth’s (Lewis Davie) computer, Mickey and Jess accidentally stumble upon a video of Gavin’s wife Margaret attacking a fellow shopper at a supermarket as a result of depression. Gavin also sees it, having been previously unaware of his wife’s issues. After the press paints the children’s actions as depraved, Doug and Abi make a statement to the press that what their children did was not malicious, and that they support the children’s efforts to honor their grandfather, however misguided it may seem; seeing the support the children receive, Chisholm ends her investigation, leaving the children with their parents.

A Heartfelt Conclusion

In the final scene, Gavin and Doug hold a memorial for Gordie at the beach, where the brothers are shown to have buried the hatchet. Abi tells Doug she will not be moving to Newcastle, and the couple decides to divorce civilly, apologizing to their children. The film ends with the extended family honoring Gordie on a hill above the beach with some friends, and then the family playfully splashing around at the water’s edge on the beach.
