Re: BBC - Wanted Down Under
I agree with most of whats been said - show is a bit naff but its lovely to see Oz on the tv . Ive been coming home from work and sitting with a cuppa to unwind. Im disappointed they only seem to be showing people who are gonna buy very expensive houses, feel it would be more realistic to show some doing it on a tighter budget.
enjoyed todays show, partly cos it was perth, but mainly cos i thought the family were lovely

Thought todays couple would have gone out to Aus even if they'd have hated it!
Couldn't figure out why on earth anyone would want to work minimum 70 hours a week! Would love to know what he takes home at the end of the week! Personally wouldn't work that many hours, but I chose to be a wage slave so I don't need to lol

Yeh, I wondered that too! As that's where I'm from & hoping to be back there soon, it would be great to see it! I'd probably just sit & cry for the whole 45 mins anyway, so I wouldn't see much ! lol !

I've just noticed that UKNova is listing 3 episodes (1 torrent) for 17-19th January for download. I'll give them a go to see what all the fuss is about.

Re: BBC - Wanted Down Under
What has this program got to do with real life?
I though 'A place down under' was naff, but at least it had a bit of excitement!
It seems that this program revolves around people who have a large budget?
Where are the couple who are moving over with just a few grand in their pocket? ie 3-4 months wages.
Where are the couples who are looking to rent rather than buy? Why cant they show you three houses up for rent and their associated costs?
Where are the couples being taken to a mortgage adviser and being shown what options they have and how much they can borrow on 'x' or 'y' salary?
After the second show, I have left it to my wife to confirm that all the other shows are the same.
Relatively cashed-up families coming to Australia.
Boring.

Hi haven't seen todays episode yet, but I'm guessing the format will be the same as the previous shows. Kinda repetitive. I keep asking myself will anyone vote for the U K? Anyone any thoughts on this?

Re: BBC - Wanted Down Under
Donna and Neil - I asked the same question further up the thread and no-one answered! I had a bet with a friend, I said it would be 15 for Aus and 5 for the UK, she said 12/8. Having seen 7 programmes I think its going to be 20-nil to Australia!
Wonder if this will result in a deluge of interest in emigrating.......
