Relocation: Phil Down Under
 
Anyone else just watched the new Channel 4 relocation programme: Relocation: Phil Down Under?
http://www.channel4.com/4homes/on-tv...der/index.html this weeks programme was all about relocating to Perth.

I thought was quite a good programme - you can watch it on 4OnDemand.

Next week will be more relevant to us personally as its about relocating to [B]Melbourne - 7.30pm Friday 29th Channel 4.

Hi - We just watched it on 4+1 and loved it! Much better than WDU as you actually got to see more of the area and didn't have any of the annoying parts that are on that programme! Definitely loved the look of Perth after watching it.

Oh thank God! FINALLY a decent, informative programme on houses Down Under, without the repetetive & heart-rending scheizer from assorted kids, grandmas & anti-Oz partners. No cringe-worthy clips on how "very inviting" everything is & above all, no hopeless attempts to compare chalk with cheese, which trying to choose between Oz & the UK sometimes can be.

Got to like the look of Perth more, but looking forward to seeing near Brisbane. Don't know which week.
Love it.

Planning on move to Brisbane hopefully this year.

Thought it was great, and then got a call from my dad saying how tempting it is (we havent exactly told them our plans yet!).

What was that womens accent? Couldnt decide between SA, Scot, German??

Pozz, I spent the whole programme trying to work out her accent, (favourite pastime of mine) sad I know. Best guess from me is Norwegian, via newcastle, with a hint of Essex tagged on...

Agree with the above, it is a much better watch than WDU.

Ha....we spent most of it trying to figure it out as well

Mrs Matt thought South African with a bit of geordie
I thought Northern Ireland first then thought Geordie but ended up thinking it was Norfolk lol:rofl:

Back to the programme, we had waited all week for it as we love the location series and to find out there was a Perth one with Phil was great......Better was to follow when he looked at property in our proffered locations of Quinns and Ocean Reef win win win!

Agree with comments about other programmes not being up to scratch but loved every min of this episode and the wonderfull look of the beach in summer (we went in June!).

Good on ya Phil ....and agree Perry shame no Kirsty apparently she was preggers at the time of filming!

Matt Rach n Olly:thumbsup:

Don't suppose anyone would be kind enough to post this show on to YouTube? - unfortunately 4oD is region locked to UK users only, so it doesn't work from Sydney!!

Re: Relocation: Phil Down Under
 
I think her accent intrigued us all then!! Definitely think Geordie with an Essex twang?!!

Yay! I've just watched and really enjoyed it. Well done Phil. Shame no Kirstie. I thought it was even better than A Place In the Sun with Amanda Lamb from a couple of years ago too. Looking forward to the next 3 weeks. Only slight comment is that it is a shame there are only 4 episodes.
