Episode 16: Hooper Family

Duration: 45 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC One WestLatest broadcast: on BBC One Wales

Suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome, Hayley Hooper has spent years struggling to cope with everyday life in the UK. At its worst, the condition has left Hayley in bed for up to 18 hours a day, and she is frustrated at being robbed of the chance to be a hands-on mum to son Lewis and daughter Aimee.

Believing a warmer climate could improve things significantly, she is now convinced that moving to the southern hemisphere is the answer to her problem. But having recently got her health back on an even keel, husband Phil is far from convinced. He worries about coping without the support of friends and family if Hayley's health doesn't improve as she hopes. As the family's main provider, he also questions the financial implications of moving to the other side of the world.

A week in Australia's Gold Coast could be Hayley's best shot at getting Phil to sign up to her vision for their family's future. Will it be the key to the fresh start she wants or close the door on her dream forever? Show less
