GOOD LUCK Sportsendurance, hope the editing is kind.

Can't wait to watch it

Re: Wanted Down Under 2010
 

When is SPORTENDURANCE'S episode on? Will need to make sure the sky+ is set. Be good to put a face to the posts! :)

Re: Wanted Down Under 2010
 

Today I think.... :)

Re: Wanted Down Under 2010
 

Today's was New Zealand.

Re: Wanted Down Under 2010
 

Ah!! Tomorrow is listed as sports teacher who wants to try out Australia. That must be it. :)

Re: Wanted Down Under 2010
 

Yep, I'll watch it. :thumbup:

Re: Wanted Down Under 2010
 

That's what I meant :thumbsup:

I checked the BBC website and just saw an episode which was first on the list so assumed it was todays. But now thinking about it, Today's episode has aired so it must be the next one coming up. Sorry! :rofl:

Re: Wanted Down Under 2010
 

the houses in todays one were crap for the amount of money talk about a whole renovation project :blink:

An I really don't think if I had a 12 yr old child I could leave them behind :( but again everyones different.

Re: Wanted Down Under 2010
 

I'm back onto 12 hour shifts tomorrow. :eek::eek::eek:
So I'll not be on here til after I've seen it. Don't want you lot ruining it for me. :p :rofl:

Re: Wanted Down Under 2010
 

I'm behind on the old WDU as the OH refuses to watch them so no catching up at the weekend LOL! I watched the one the other day though with the woman who was clearly getting her own way regardless of what the husband wanted. All I can say is good luck to them! I thought it somewhat ominous that both of them 'joked' about Divorce Down Under. I wonder if that would be 'very different to their life back in the Uk....' :p

In other news, Nicky Chapman gets worse every episode, she really has all the personality of a ream of paper.

Re: Wanted Down Under 2010
 

Yeah - and thanks to you lot ....... I spend all my time waiting for her favourite phrases! OH and I see who can spot them first - sad but true! :eek:

Re: Wanted Down Under 2010
 

They definitely need a new presenter. She can do nothing but smile in a vaguely interested way. Today for example she was smiling away when talking about the poor guy being in hospital - no sense of sympathy or concern in her voice or expression at all!

Re: Wanted Down Under 2010
 

I'm always too busy trying to see if she's super-imposed onto the beach background. I think that everything has been filmed in a studio and on the same day. She's been given 10 different outfits and 30 different phrases and lost the will to live after a couple of hours! :lol:

Re: Wanted Down Under 2010
 

Bring back Nadia Swahala........... :wub::wub:

Re: Wanted Down Under 2010
 

Looking forward to Alan aka Sportsendurance's programme today! :thumbsup:

Re: Wanted Down Under 2010
 

Yep and she doesn't look directly into the camera a lot of the time. She must be reading off cue cards, although you think she'd have memorized it all by now.

Re: Wanted Down Under 2010
 

I think she does all the recordings in one go. It is really pointless, I am amazed nobody realised at the time of filiming that it was a bit repetitive.

"but what about the third option"

Aaaaarggghhhh! My husband and I know what she is going to say each and every time the picture goes to her.

Re: Wanted Down Under 2010
 

More like 5 outfits and 4 phrases:

Well, that all looks very inviting

So, very different to their life back in the UK

Oh dear, will this throw the whole move in jeopardy

This house is slightly (ie 140k) over budget but something for the family to aspire to...

...all said as if we've been hitting the valium a little too hard.

And that's it! I forward all of her bits now, get straight to the houses and jobs, skip to the final vote and then that's it. So each episode is about 15 mins max, perfect! :thumbsup:

Re: Wanted Down Under 2010
 

You've all had far too much time off work to watch this me thinks! LOL :p Looking forward to seeing our fellow BE'er today though, I'm getting to watch it in real time today too as I'm unemployed as of Friday and Australia bound in 6 sleeps! :eek:

Re: Wanted Down Under 2010
 

Love the way they get the family to agree to moving then they show them the family, please dont go heartbreak video. Thats just plain cruel man!

Re: Wanted Down Under 2010
 

I wish! I Sky+ them and watch them the following morning getting ready for work :D I sed to watch them in the evening but the OH now refuses to watch, makes him want to punch the TV and Nicky Chapman haha!

Ooh, how exciting to be going in 6 sleeps, we're now planning to be going in 540 sleeps, i'm sure it'll pass in no time...:confused: :blink:

Tx

Re: Wanted Down Under 2010
 

Lol

I'm sorry but Louise is far too small with not an ounce of fat on her, thats not right, 3 kids she should have the tuck in tummy fat going on at least? :confused:

It is hard when your hubby really wants to go - I hope she likes it, if it makes her feel better I have 4 kids, a dodgy heart and have to manage all 4 kids while my husband works shift and we have family within walking and short driving distance who do absolutely sod all !!!
It's do-able upsetting sometimes but do-able.

I want to know how they got they're little girl to crash out on the sofa like that?

Nice family, why aren't they going to Melbourne though then they would have family close by to help ? If it'd make a difference?

Bless her I wouldn't want to share my home with my inlaws but then again it would be blood shed if it was my inlaws lol

Re: Wanted Down Under 2010
 

It'll fly by lol

Re: Wanted Down Under 2010
 

LOL! We've found that copious amounts of alcohol helps :thumbsup::blink:

plus my brother and his family are coming over in April for 6 weeks (from Oz), then it's baseball season, before we know it it'll be Christmas (:blink:) then only 6 months to go after that. Wish my life away? Me??

Re: Wanted Down Under 2010
 

I'd give Nicky Chapman a punch.

Re: Wanted Down Under 2010
 

Ack it'll be grand, I can't wait to go now, I'm sick of doing DIY around the house getting it ready for the tenants, roll on our stopover in Singapore, I'm exhausted lol

Re: Wanted Down Under 2010
 

That's so exciting, hope it all goes really well. You must have been counting down the days since October!! x

Re: Wanted Down Under 2010
 

Sounds like you're thinking of heading the same time as us - May/June 2011???

We can count the days together :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Re: Wanted Down Under 2010
 

Yup, I love countdowns me lolololol :p

Re: Wanted Down Under 2010
 

Louise says thank you JenJen. They got her age wrong (31 not 28) although I would say she does look 28! We are a little surprised that they focussed so much on my parents coming with us as it was only a small thought and very unlikely to happen. Thankfully it's been and gone now and I'll jut wait for the piss take tomorrow from both the kids and staff!!

Looking forward now to the Revisited, I think in a week or so

Alan

Re: Wanted Down Under 2010
 

So SportsEndurance, was that your episode today 26th Jan?

Just watched it tonight and thought it was great! Well Done. :thumbup:

Re: Wanted Down Under 2010
 

Alan your going all out now aren't you..... Mr JenJen thought she looked about 23 - 24 :blink: she doesn't look 31 which just makes me feel worse, please tell me she doesn't eat??? starves herself ????? I haven't been that bloody tiny since my eldest was born and yes I am bloody suling now cause it's wrong - let go back to Nicky whatsername and her hessian sack dressed..

Are you going to Perth ?

Oh we were wondering Alan huhmmm when you had hair was it blonde or dark cause it spraked a conversation about our kids having sandy brown hair but neither of us have...

Only cause I like a good roasting but could you get someone to film your day at work tomorrow??? Youtube?
It could be worse they could have filmed you copping a ball to the face, loss of teeth or WORSE.

Yes I can't wait for the revisiteds either heaven help that lot lol

Re: Wanted Down Under 2010
 

Hi just wanted to say I saw this episode today and you and your family came across as very nice people unlike some previous families.

When are you planning your move?

Best of luck to you all.

Re: Wanted Down Under 2010
 

Hi Alan

I agree you are and did come across as a lovely family. However, Zenshin I hope you weren't including us as one of the previous families who weren't!!!!! :fingerscrossed: Only joking, that is unless you were!!! :confused:

We're looking forward to the Revisited too next week and hopefully being back on ourselves in the near future!!

Re: Wanted Down Under 2010
 

Just finished watching today's episode - really enjoyed it! So good to see someone with some knowledge as a result of researching a possible move :thumbsup:

Re: Wanted Down Under 2010
 

Ha!ha! Got no idea if I have seen your family on it before. Don't get to watch it that often. Your name doesn't ring any bells.

I know there is loads of editing and sometimes they probably make the families seem worse than they really are. Just really don't understand why sometimes one of the couple is very resistant to the idea and then tries to focus on every petty thing for a reason not to go. It almost seems childish.

I think although the lady on the show today wasn't too sure, she at least seemed happy and open to it.

Re: Wanted Down Under 2010
 

I have just watched today's episode too and am glad to finally put a face to a name!

I'm glad you decided to move in the end. It's may be difficult but you never know until you try. Good on Louise for being brave! She may just absolutely love it!

I agree she looks much younger than her age of even 28 as the BBC incorrectly stated never mind 31! Can I have some of whatever she's got?
:thumbsup: to both of you!

Re: Wanted Down Under 2010
 

Quite enjoyed the programme but why do they have to be so damn misleading. They sent him off to the 'local' secondary school. The local school to Carramar is Wanneroo SHS. No, they send him to Hale. One of the most prestigious private schools in Perth and at $15k a year out of 99% of migrants reach! Shame on you WDU, I won't be watching again.

Re: Wanted Down Under 2010
 

I'd like to chop her up with my pork sword.

Re: Wanted Down Under 2010
 

Right up her pale pommy jacksie.
