Wanted Down Under - the one where we start by rooting for the family.

Cheering on the family is becoming a habit!

laughing at his stroner accent now! She isn't too far behind :D

Lol susie

Lovely to build their own home, and I hope it stays good for them, but bloody hell he gets right up my nose.

such a natural walk

So you're not materialistic... but you have just spent a long time describing your house. I'd really hate to have a house with an echo, it's very good looking but no personality to it.
Why aren't they filmed together? It was dad and kids, dad at work, mum at home. Something isn't adding up here.

Have to say they have done well and seem very family orientated

susie

Yes house is very echoey

dontwant, I just spat out my coffee, natural walk, ooo we are horrible

I hate to say it but I really like this family.......they have really grabbed their dream and ran with it.
They have had set backs but appear to have worked together to overcome them.
She's got her new house and he has worked hard to provide it for her.
Loved the little uk / rain joke at the beginning of the recent update ......all in all I am satisfied that I am cheering for this family. i'm not looking forward to going back to the office next week but content that my last morning watching WDU has been a positive one with a family I liked!!!! although a tutting bonanza would have been acceptable too!!

Dad really likes his Fox tops, doesnt he?

lol I know, I doubt my walk would be overly natural with a camera crew in front of me! :D

She looks Aussie I think.

You see I just couldnt be married to a man who picked up an accent so quickly.

Yeah he's annoying, but kudos to them they've got what they wanted

Do you think there is an equivalent Oz programme, Wanted Up Top?

Aww I am pleased for them really. Nice to get a more upto date update as well.

They seem like a really lovely family. I wonder if she is a mumsnetter?

I like the look of this Shetland programme

My cousin moved to OZ several years ago and though my aunt planned a trip had to cancel it as both her and her husband have had cancer. My cousin hasn't come home either.

No I am guenuinly pleased for them, just cant warm to him.

I'm just Googling the Shetland prog susie - looks good.

The Shetland prog looks v good, I love a Shetland accent. Only heard one in that trailer though .

Agree about the accent Piffpaff - just gorgeous.

I have to admit to being someone who picks up accents really really quickly - think Joey Barton's French accent - so I have some sympathy for him.
