I hope she leaves him, finds a proper strapping Aussie policeman and makes a fantastic life over there without him. Grin

Hmmm not sure about this one, I think there is an element of in the original programme of the editing to make it seem a very split decision, when in fact they already had their visas which would suggest she was keener than portrayed. She did seem very sad in the revisit but again I know from talking to my brother who moved to oz 10 years ago he still has weeks when he would merrily come home again. It may have been filmed then.

Have to agree on the hubby front though, when the police thing didn't work out couldn't he have tried for an immigration officer job there's an airport there. I know my other secret tv show habit is border control.

I am watching Border Control now Katz. I have watched an hour of Australian Animal Rescue, and then it came on after. Smile Weirdly compelling.

I love border control - if i had the right skills i would want that job, they make it seem so exciting! busting drugs and people bringing random food with bugs into Australia

Salbertina · 09/02/2013 15:01

Is it on BBC?

Sparklingbrook · 09/02/2013 15:21

I found it on Pick TV Sal but it does get about a bit Channel wise.

Oh thanks anyway but think i need to find on iplayer as overseas

Sparklingbrook · 09/02/2013 15:35

Aww sorry Sal. What riveting telly do you get to watch over there?

Salbertina · 09/02/2013 15:39

Utter crap! V old celebrity cook shows, wobbly-setted soaps

Sparklingbrook · 09/02/2013 15:41

Ooh no. Sad Is it in a forrin language too?

Salbertina · 09/02/2013 15:44

Several! And i don't speak enough forrin ; )
Oh dear, i did sound like a whinging Pom, didn't i? And not even in Oz!

BookFairy · 09/02/2013 17:54

I just caught up with this episode. Very troubling. She looked sad and resigned, while he appeared self-satisfied and arrogant.

KenDoddsDadsDog · 09/02/2013 18:02

Just found this thread when it's almost full !!! Got addicted to this when there was a madwoman on it a few weeks back who made her husband cry.

Sparklingbrook · 09/02/2013 18:13

Hi Ken. Was that the 'poor Brendan' episode with the Mum and 3 daughters she had brainwashed?

OP posts:
KenDoddsDadsDog · 09/02/2013 19:36

Yes - she was just going and that was that. It was so bad a lot of people who secretly must watch posted on FB about it Grin

Sparklingbrook · 11/02/2013 09:07

Morning all. Can't watch today. Sad Sky Plus set for possible tutting later on.....

MrsReiver · 11/02/2013 09:14

Morning Sparkling, I'm not going to catch it all either, midwife this baby better be bloody engaged again so I'll have to catch the last half on iplayer.

DevaDiva · 11/02/2013 09:18

This will be one of my last for a while. Start a temp assignment on Thursday so back to the real world for me :( Blimey this going to be a tear jerker.

MrsReiver · 11/02/2013 09:18

Ohhh now, I wonder if this is the family DH used to know. He went to school with someone who's been on Wanted Down Under but we never watched the episode and Armadale is on our door step.

As lovely as their house looks, Armadale is a dive so I can't blame them for wanting to leave.

Lollybrolly · 11/02/2013 09:19

How old did they say Sophie was?? Phone rang.

Lollybrolly · 11/02/2013 09:20

She wont like that house - think it wont be modern enough for her.

MrsReiver · 11/02/2013 09:20

Oh and house prices in Central Scotland are in a bubble all of their own, so their house isn't going to fetch what it would in other parts of the country.

Lollybrolly · 11/02/2013 09:21

Oh dear!!

Lollybrolly · 11/02/2013 09:23

dont see them as doer uppers!

Salbertina · 11/02/2013 09:23

Sophie's 13. Looks older
