BBC One - Wanted Down Under, Series 4, Wall

Life is a struggle for the Wall family, but is a move down under the solution?

Families sample life 'down under'. The Wall family from Nottingham have been hit by the credit crunch, and life is a struggle. But is a move down under the solution?

Series in which British families, keen to trade in the British weather for the down-under lifestyle, are given the chance to sample what life would be like if they moved to the other side of the world. 

The Wall family from Nottinghamshire experience life for a week in Perth. In the UK, Paul works as a carpenter, but he's been hit by the credit crunch. His wife Angela juggles two jobs to make ends meet. They're worried about son Dylan's prospects in the UK, as he's dyslexic. Life is a struggle for the family, and a move down under might be the solution. But could the financial reality of life in Australia put an end to their dreams?
