Restarick Family

Wanted Down Under Series 10
Episode 9 of 24

Series in which UK families contemplate living in Australia or New Zealand. Will a week in Adelaide help Richard convince his wife and daughter to move down under?

Since a holiday in Australia in his twenties, Richard Restarick had been keen to make a permanent return to the country. But plans to emigrate were put on hold ten years ago when he met the love of his life, Nieva, online.

As their relationship blossomed, Nieva left her home country of the Philippines behind to join Richard in the UK. After struggling to settle initially, she's now loving life in England and has a close-knit group of friends.

Tough times running a business have seen Richard's thoughts turn to emigrating down under once more. He firmly believes the country could offer his wife, as well as his daughter Izzy, a brighter future. Nieva, however, has no interest in upping sticks and starting all over again in a new country for a second time, and she worries Richard's dreams could drive them into poverty, something she experienced in her childhood.

Will a trial week in Adelaide see Richard convince his wife and daughter that Australia is where their future lies? And will the country Richard remembers be as promising 15 years on?
