Re: Get A New Life. (BBCTV)
 
Hi

I have just finished watching the show.
They were from Hull and were given three choices of where to settle in Canada. They choose St. Thomas, Ontario.
They had two weeks to pack up and were then flown out and put up in a hotel. Three rental properties were found, for them to pick, and paid for the month. They were helped with all that they had to do, banks, sin, and put in touch with a support officer.(Who/what are these?)
The man who was a spark had to sit an exam, so that he could work.
After a month one of the shows presents comes back, shows them some video clips of family and friends. Then asks them the BIG? Are they staying or do they want to use the return tickets he has.
They stayed, He found a job the next week and she had got some freelance journalism work. (Show up dates at end about 1 month after.)

The Welshman :beer: A pint of Brains SA, works well


PS They also got married.
I hope they made it.

I won't mind seeing though if it is shown ;) Am told the original chick that use to co-host it, is not in this one, wonder why? Another brit one that I won't mind seeing here, is location, location, location, with the other chick and the baldby guy.


I can't believe we ( wife and I) missed this episode, especially as I am an electrician....really wanted to watch it. You mentioned that you can download the episodes online, don't suppose you have the web address where we can do this from???
