UK TV SHOW - UK Couple Move to Canada - HELP!!!
 
Hi guys

Can you help?

I remember - about 5-6 years back - there was a UK TV show where a couple/family relocated from the UK to Canada.

Can anyone remember what it was called?? I'm desperate to track it down online!

Thank you!!!

I believe it was part of the 'new life down under' type show - it was a paramedic I believe relocating out west.

I tracked down an article about a couple who were featured in a reality tv series featuring 8 families "trying out" living abroad for a month before making a decision but can't find the tv program, sorry. The UK family were called Ellis and moved from Yorkshire to Calgary.. ring any bells? BBC2 filmed it.

http://www.businessedge.ca/archives/...erta-life-2842 and http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0437720/synopsis

It's called "Get a new life"

Maybe that will help in tracking it down.

I thought they moved to Bragg Creek, initially. The guy (presenter) advised them to move to Cochrane!;)

There was also an episode of Place in the Sun where the family moved to St Thomas, Ontario.

Yes, they did move to Bragg Creek - Redwood Meadows I believe. He was a paramedic, then went into car sales and I recently saw him working in a local hunting store.

Get a New Life was on BBC about 10 years ago - can't see any reference to episodes being available online.
