Wanted Down Under - new series

[Breward]

Starts on Monday 2nd Jan @ 11am (new time) each day.

DH always says, "You can tell it is the new year when this deluded escapism is on!"

I for one will have it on series record. Anyone else joining me to escape to Oz each morning?

My word. Who knew the bridal industry was so lucrative!

Wow, I'm surprised how much she could earn working in a bridal shop. I don't know much about retail salaries, but it seems like a lot.

Given the cost of wedding dresses and all the add-ons, I'm not surprised at the salary she could command, although I would have thought you'd need to be a business owner to earn at that level.

Brodie is gorgeous.

Thoes houses are so far out of town. they'd have hiddeous commutes to get to their jobs in the centre, to earn the big bucks.

It is ridiculous to have a vote on overall lifestyle based on one day out at an aquarium!

All the houses they show on here are about 30 miles out of town...I wish they'd talk more about the locations.

Their house in the UK is gorgeous though.

They never judge overall lifestyle on a visit to the opera, a museum or an art gallery!

The other day I'm sure nappies were costed cheaper in Aus than Uk, opposite today?

And more tears... "I could be a mum again..." Massive eye roll

Get ready for more tears....

Pass the tissues - here we go.

Oooh I think I'm going too...sniff

Stepdad knows his place. Just nods along with what Mum says

This is one of the worst tearjerkers yet.

Off topic but did anyone see A New Life in Oz last night on channel 5? Still a bit confused about how the family could afford that huge house emigrating with £20k which included their deposit.....seemed like a fairly middle income family too.

Such manufactured drama. Ffs.

Facebook Update will report she's pregnant again and plans "on hold"

Yeah, they're not going anywhere. She just needs to sort out her work/life balance and I'm sure there are ways she could do that in the UK.

Yup. A few changes make a world of difference. BBC could save themselves a load of money by shelling out for career counselling over trips Down Under.

"The Evans family are still living in Cwmbran, and currently making lots of home improvements with a new bathroom, doors and decorating!
Work life balance has greatly improved for Laura since the filming, due to hiring more staff to help in the shop, which has meant Laura has a lot more time being a Mummy and spending time with hubby Andrew. She has fallen back in love with running her own business since she’s got the great support from colleagues and is finding it easier to delegate all her responsibilities.
The family have started looking at the visa process and are currently weighing up their options.
Exciting times ahead in 2017!"

Are there no aquariums in Wales?

Drama lama overload today.

This programme needs massively updating. Get rid of the awful video and 'lifestyle' sections and get more information on education and job prospects for children in the future.

No beaches either theotherside

Ah well. It was something to watch while I had my coffee and currant bun.

I live near an Aquarium. We go there all the time. It's in Bournemouth

Pretty much every couple on this ask for 'more family time' yet they base their house searches in suburbs miles and miles from the city which means a huge commute and often need to look at working more hours to make ends meet. There always seem to be glaringly obvious things they could do in the UK to get that work/life balance with the exception perhaps of nurses who seems to have much better shift patterns in Oz.
DH and I are emigrating to Perth next year but we have loads of family time here! We genuinely just hate the weather
