Who cares, if you don't like it turn the TV off.

It is only meant to be a bit of fun!

I hate them! The constant bloody twirling whilst they are talking annoys me.

Re: Flags on Wanted Down Under - Love em or hate em?

Call it a social experiment :D

Our 3 year old has been able to recognise the Australian flag for a while now, even stunned hubby by pointing it out to him on a page full of different flags :thumbsup: I can only put this down to her watching the last few series of Wanted Down Under with me & she wasn't quite 2 when we first started watching it.

Odd though how she doesn't recognise the Union Jack :unsure: Must be a good omen for us to move!!

Anyway back to the question - doesn't bother me.

Must admit that I think the whole show is a bit pointless really. I love watching it for a nosey at the houses and scenery and for a fix of Australia. Apart from that it's a bit rubbish really. I mentally switched off during the last series when an alarm installer was fixed up for the day with a spying type agency where he had to photograph people who were illegally swimming in a pond or something. Hmmm probably not that relevant. I consider it a bit of fun I guess but pay no attention as to whether or not they will choose to go or not. It would be interesting to know how many people then actually go on to move there. It's a bit like the property programmes; how many at the end of the programme do end up with the house they choose.

I do however watch these type of programmes, so they can't be all that bad!

Hate it. Its cheap and nasty. Even a person with the highest integrity would look like a right div standing there twiddling his flag:D

Re: Flags on Wanted Down Under - Love em or hate em?
 

What the Hell is "wanted down under"?. Sounds like a Ned Kelly doco

and can we have a button added for "d'uh?"

Re: Flags on Wanted Down Under - Love em or hate em?
 

Hate 'em - it's so cheap and tacky. Poor sods have to stand there twiddling some dog-eared laminated A4 bit of paper with a flag on either side that some back office researcher knocked up on the office laser. What's wrong with just asking 'em whether they prefered the lifestyle in the UK (egg and chips in the Asda cafe) or in Oz (high tea with Kevin Rudd at Kirribilli House followed by an evening watching the Five Sopranos at the Opera House and a trip back to your five storey harbour-side gaff in a shotover jet boat)?

Re: Flags on Wanted Down Under - Love em or hate em?
 

thats what they are getting isn't ? thats what all ex pats lifestyles are like when they move over to au ??

Re: Flags on Wanted Down Under - Love em or hate em?
 

I don't like the jet boat, makes my hair wet. I prefer to charter a helicopter back to my place.

Sure is - according to the producers of the show. ;)

What gets me is why none of the punters say anything. "Thanks Nadia, I enjoyed that parachute jump, but I don't think it's very typical of your average aussie's recreational activities. Isn't there somewhere I can throw a line in the water, sipping VB whilst perched on a blue eskey with triple M buzzing away in the background on a battered radio?"
