the bottler Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I have been told if you want to get British t.v. in Australia try : http://malaysiabay.org/ these are not too bad also : http://isohunt.com/ http://tvunderground.org.ru UKNova do not share / download anything you can buy . Just wanted to say I think Nikki Chapman is an excellent presenter ... I am sure she has to say what she is told to on the programme ... but when you see her on the "Revisited " series she comes across as a very friendly , caring lady . I have also seen her on programmes to do with moving to the country in the U.K. ... again she is friendly , easy to listen to and not pushy ... some of them on there make you think that their job depends on the people liking all the properties ... just my opinion ...

Libbysmummy Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I think the shows are great, i love to get a glimpse of anything oz! The families are all great and i hope their experiance helps with their decision!

Guest kianobeano Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Hi woudn't it be better if they valued house first then looked at jobs spoke to mortgage company to get idea of what was affordable, repayments etc.. then viewed houses ??

Si T Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 How easy was it to get on? There's a thread somewhere that I have outlined the process in. I think there were around 14000 applicants and they are looking for people for the next series. You never know your luck. Email them at wanteddownunder@bbc.co.uk for an application form. Its good fun if you go into it with open eyes and research like mad before you go. Good luck Si Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tappers2oz Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I sent off an e-mail, then more info....then even more info! Although it's been about 4 weeks and not heard back so i don't think we got any further. Not surprised, not enough conflict between DH and I (over emigrating) i suspect lol.

I agree...i did the same but we are all willing and up for the change! We even have family approval! Doesnt make good television when there is no conflict or wobbles about giving everything up in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume it's just pot luck if they pick you then, especially if 14000 apply, Imagine looking at all the applications:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can i ask if anyone on the programme saw other houses on their free time ? thanks jen x Hi Jen we stayed out for an extra three weeks and in this time we spent loads of time looking at houses, you have to remember they need to make good tv so taking you to houses they know your not going to like for the price you want to pay then show you houses that you cant afford but know you will love it!! Anyway my point is there are plenty of houses in the area we like, the size we would want, with a pool and WALK IN WARDROBES!!:biglaugh: at a price we can afford!! Look on http://www.realestate.com/au there are plenty of houses on there i would move in tomorrow!!! Regards, Lisa x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Shame on the BBC for giving a false impression to potential migrants. I'm sure they must be getting high viewing figures for the programme to justify funding more series, but how many people are put off at the first hurdle due to watching it. Sure there are some that come on POI and other forums and find out the truth, warts and all, but it does make me wonder how many just shelve the idea of migration indefinitely, but why let the truth get in the way of a good story.

Regards, Lisa x Totally agree with the Hoe family on the point that their are much better houses out there than what the show features. Dont know about it mabking ogg TV, what it does at my end is give all the doubters about our move a chance to get their NEB in lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigyboy Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Totally agree with the Hoe family on the above point, there are indeed much better houses out there for your money despite the exchange rate than what the show features. However, sure about it making good TV. Nonetheless, what it does at my end, is give all the doubters about our move so called friends and family that never visit a chance to get their NEB in lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
