I know "Hoppity" (Jones family) from another board long before they made an appearance here on BE. And B@lDeR$ (Larner family) are real too.

When the programme starts next week, it would be great to chat with the participants on here about it. I just hope you haven't scared them away with your usual spoilsport tactics!

Thanks Gina

I can't mention Tom without giving the other team members a shout, because they all made this experience for the Larner family one we will never forget.

Wow.. that's seriously bad news my friend... I only have the hard drive thingy, so can't record manually, onto a tape as such.. it's on all week, so you should see the other 4 episodes..

I think i have seen your date as 25th Jan on the radio times web site is this you?

Nadia Sawalha presents a series in which British families are given a look at life in Australia ahead of possible migration. The Jones family spend a week sampling the lifestyle in Queensland, but then the reality of what they are contemplating hits them all.
Good luck and enjoy we are well nervous now three days to go!!!!!
