Wanted Down Under

It's back in the morning (Jan 2nd) at 11am.

Great, I love it! Not that Oz looks very appealing right now

Great, I love it! Not that Oz looks very appealing right now

It's heartbreaking isn't it

So far it's been all New Zealand. I expect because of the change in visa rules which affected so many who wanted to go last series?

[Kaz]

I haven't had the chance to catch up with it yet (been so busy with family etc) but intend to! I expect you're right about the visa stuff

[JoM]

Have you caught up yet?
It looks like the Australian ones have been shelved and they're just filling the schedule with New Zealand, today's wasn't even a Revisited though, just a repeat.

[Kaz]

Yes, getting caught up now. Bit boring this year, all set around Auckland so far, and the housing seems very expensive and nothing special I miss the Aussie ones, but I suppose the changes to the visa system are the reason

I caught this yesterday and it was an update of a same sex couple who'd made the move to NZ. I really enjoyed it as it was the first one I'd seen in over a year.

I was thinking perhaps because of the fires in Australia it wouldn't seem appropriate to promote moving there at the moment?

[JoM]

I've not watched it yet Al but I remember seeing their episode the first time it was one and they were such a lovely family so I'm hoping that everything worked out really well for them

It does look like that's why Al, there was something the other week about the episode being shown not being the one advertised and looking at the upcoming episodes on the BBC WDU page there's another week of NZ repeats and then the new episodes featuring Australia which have been rescheduled.

[Kaz]

Ah yes, that would make sense xx

[JoM]

The NZ programmes never grab me as much as the Australian ones.
