I'd be interested to know and I'm sure others would too.

Thanks

They should then do a deadly downunder show about the dangers of being hit by falling trees downunder because you are more likely to be killed that way. The real deadly thing down under is cars which kill 1,600 people per year compared to the wildlife killing 10.

The latest series is putting a date up when stating valuations though so at least you can tell how out of date they are.

He went for it & got a contract out i felt so sorry for him as i told him its a tv show about what oz could offer a uk family,
