Re: BBC Wanted Down Under - Series 8
I wonder what the stats show for all of the families who have appeared in the WDU shows since 2007. How many took the plunge and of those how many are happy they did it. As a guess I reckon it's likely to be 50/50 and of those 50/50 again. In other words 25% success.
And why isn't there a Canada/US equivalent of WDU?

Re: BBC Wanted Down Under - Series 8
Off topic but they pull a show after a few episodes, or suddenly move it to another day of the week with no warning, then start it ten minutes late.
Then the Neanderthal f###wits bleat that fewer and fewer people are watching commercial TV.
I've just bought one of those smart tv "dongles" and my TV will be used for watching ABC, SBS and movies on Netflix, YouTube, etc.

Re: BBC Wanted Down Under - Series 8
I think the incompetent tv planners here in Australia are determined to shoot themselves in the foot. Their struggle to cram the evening with adverts, badly timed and repeated to the point you switch off and put on a dvd or record so you can fast forward them later. It would not take much to make it semi acceptable.

Best solution is not to watch in the first place

Re: BBC Wanted Down Under - Series 8
OK, so we have gone from UK TV to Australian TV???? 
As for WDU I would also be interested in some statistics on the success of those relocating. Firstly the success in securing a property to BUY and secondly in coming to terms with the cost of living which they would not grasp whilst on a short visit. Aside from the point that most of the wives want to have a pool in the garden and be within walking distance of the best school in the area so that their little sweethearts Sebastian and Tiara can 'grow'
