BBC One - Wanted Down Under, Series 9, Suckling Family

New Zealand-born Courtenay hopes to persuade his wife to move back to his homeland.

Series in which families try out life overseas. Having left his birthplace of New Zealand for his wife, Courtenay now wants to return home for good.

Having met her while travelling, New Zealand-born Courtenay ended up following the love of his life Helen halfway around the globe and settling down in the UK. Now he's keen to uproot his family and return to the country he calls home. 

Close family ties in the UK, however, mean a move would be anything but straightforward for wife Helen. She also worries about work prospects down under.

On a trial week spent living in Auckland, at least some of Helen's concerns are addressed, but it's Courtenay himself who starts to question whether a move is in the family's best interests.
