I have no doubt for most people it does work and for the few that do not make it I am sure any help or advice they receive would be appreciated, weather that be via friends or TV.
and that's a fair enough statement. It's just that most of these shows seem to play heavily on the character foibles of the people taking part rather than the geographic ones. And that tends to give a jaundiced view of the whole situation. I remember a show here years ago (can't think of the name) where some English people were complaining because 'the glass breaks differently in Australia' :shock: (amongst other things). Absolutely nothing to do with the country, just quirky people.

If they really wanted to help people they could do a show just comparing lifestyle, costs, bureaucracy etc without the human element. Just my 2c
