Re: Wanted Down Under 2010
i agree with you kingseat, i was also thinking that when they said they already had their visas, and some people are waiting, waiting and waiting

I thought Jackie was actually being very reallistic, at least she didnt look at it through rose tinted specs and think it would all be fine, as the other half of someone who desperately wants to go to australia I could understand her reservations completely.

Re: Wanted Down Under 2010
Just a FYI for those outside the UK with no access to BBC iPlayer...
All of the 'Wanted Down Under' episodes are available from www.thebox.bz which is a torrent site specialising in UK tv broadcasts.
If its a UK made programme and has been on the tv in the UK in the last few then you'll probably find it available for download.
No membership fees but signup places are limited and you have to keep upoading to keep downloading as your up:down ratio is measured.
I've been downloading them all for this series and have watched the first 11 so far, should get up to date over the weekend. My favorite so far was the woman with the evil glare whose husband was moving to OZ whether he wanted to or not.

I also heard that while Phil is away in Australia, Kirsty Allsopp will be filming a new property series called 'Kirstie's Home videos'.

Re: Wanted Down Under 2010
One thing that's puzzled me with WDU is whether the families get a choice as to which destination they are flown to for a week. They must choose the applicants for the show who are open to living anywhere in OZ I guess, else I'm guessing most families would choose the same 2 or 3 places all the time. Also, because most of the cities in OZ offer something different, I find it strange how some families find it's not for them without sampling another city, which could have cooler/warmer weather and better job prospects

Re: Wanted Down Under 2010
yes they probably did JenJen, but it does not look like they are going to use theirs, and there are other people who would do anything to get a visa and use it right now

Re: Wanted Down Under 2010
I am sure the immigration department monitors the number of immigrants, general population levels and knows when they need more or less numbers coming in. I am sure they can detect when visas are not used and will use techniques to build in the "drop out" figures to predict future requirements / numbers. No point getting upset at someone on WDU.

Re: Wanted Down Under 2010
I enjoyed Phil's program, much more interesting than WDU.
Don't think I'll watch anymore WDUs.
