Wanted Down Under(2007)

Wanted Down Under is a BBC One series that follows families exploring life in Australia and New Zealand. Since 2007, the programme has documented real people weighing up the possibility of emigrating to these countries. Each episode presents the hopes and hesitations of families considering a major relocation, offering glimpses into what daily life, work, and community might look like across the Tasman. The show balances practical considerations—housing, employment, schools—with the emotional weight of leaving behind everything familiar. It's a window into the dreams and doubts that shape one of life's biggest decisions. Viewers get an honest look at whether the promise of a fresh start down under matches the reality on the ground.
