BBC One - Wanted Down Under, Series 10, Stone Family

A mum faces having to choose between her husband's dream and close family ties at home.

Sam Stone faces a life-changing decision. Husband Dave yearns to be reunited with his brother in Australia, but emigrating would mean devastating her mum.

Ever since his brother emigrated to Australia 15 years ago, Dave Stone has been desperate to follow in his footsteps. But while it's been a dream he has been upfront about with wife Sam since they met more than a decade ago, she is more than happy at home in the UK.

An only child, Sam speaks to her mum every day, and the thought of being separated by half a world is enough to bring her to tears. A previous trip to Australia eight years ago failed to convince Sam to make the move, so will it be a case of second time lucky for Dave? Or will he face being split from his brother for good?
