Wanted Down Under Revisited

Series 10

Episode 8: Horn Family

Duration: 44 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC One HDLatest broadcast: on BBC Two England

Lynn Horn had dreamt of moving to Australia ever since childhood and, after years of discussion, husband Andy was finally in agreement the country could be somewhere they could call home. But with two teenage children less than convinced, the family's future looked far from certain.

A trial week in Adelaide in 2010 gave the whole family their first taste of what life down under could be like. At the end of it, mum, dad and son Chris were all up for moving, but daughter Kirsty wasn't in agreement. Concerned about leaving her life and boyfriend in the UK, she had decided home was where the heart is.

When we caught up with the family in 2011, they were still living in the UK, but Australia was firmly in their sights - and Kirsty was fully on-board for a move. The only thing holding them back was finances, but dad Andy was hopeful he had found a buyer for his glazing firm, and it was only a matter of time before they were away.

So, six years after their trial week, have the Horns made it to the other side of the world, or have they decided to stay with the life they already had in the UK? Show less
