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

A mum longs to join her sister in Australia, but can her husband leave his son in the UK?

Victoria longs to emigrate to Australia to join her sister. Can a trial week down under persuade her husband Rob to leave his son in the UK?

Singer Victoria Underwood idolised her big sister Emma growing up. But the close-knit siblings were split for good when Emma emigrated to Australia leaving a devastated Victoria behind in the UK.

Eight years later, Victoria longs to be permanently reunited with her sister down under. Husband Rob, however, has his own close family ties, an 18-year-old son Billy who's living an independent life in London. An entertainer too, Rob also fears a move would mean an end to the regular gigs he and his wife have built up in Grimsby.

At the end of a week sampling everything Australian life has to offer, Rob's left facing the biggest decision of his life.
