Judging by this preview I don't think this will help Anglo/Australian relations.

I am sure a few stereotypes will be trotted out. Mind you some of the things said I have seen said on here but also see as many positive comments. I wonder if they will show that side. I seriously doubt it.

I've just seen the trailer for this. Looks like some top quality television journalism. :D

I imagine the balance will be something along the lines of "of course, not all Poms are ungrateful, whiney, moaning, nasal douchebags, but here's 20 minutes of footage of ungrateful, whiney, moaning, nasal douchebags..."

i thought the show was pointless. if your a ping pong you are bound to justify why you are returning. you wont get anyone saying they are leaving because they love it here. cheap telly!!!

who wants to watch people on telly being happy? nah, its always much better to watch others making an arse of themselves. I bet these poor people were interviewed for hours and this is what you get to see. another family stitched up by the telly!! take it as a lesson expats, if anyone come calling asking you to be on the telly? tell them where to go!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmmm...if only they could get a whingeing pingpong Pom who claims benefits while on a dodgy workers comp claim while working as a shonk roofer ripping off grannies when installing taxpayer-funded pink batts, then they'd have a tabloid news clean sweep.

Miissed it... I wanted to watch it with some Aus friends just to give them a laugh.

It was a bit like playing BE bingo:

too expensive....
don't like the sausages...
don't like the pubs...
moaning about the driving....
too hot...

FULL HOUSE!!


I particularly liked the family who don't like the beach....so moved to the sunshine coast. Great choice there chap.

I don't consider myself a whinging Pom but all the above are true!
