BBC One - Wanted Down Under, Series 11, Mungur Family

After tough times at home, will the Mungur family pursue a fresh start in Australia?

Although Nazeem Mungur has never been to Australia, he is convinced that a new life on the Gold Coast could help turn his health around.

A horrific car crash eight years ago left Nazeem Mungur the shadow of the man he once was. Fed up and frustrated, he is now desperate to be a more hands-on husband and father. Family holidays abroad have shown the benefits of being in a warmer climate and, although he has never been to Australia, he is now convinced that emigrating to the southern hemisphere could help turn his health around. While wife Joanne supports her husband's desire for a fresh start, she is nervous about the prospect of uprooting their young children to a country they have never even visited. With Nazeem unable to work, she knows the pressure would be solely on her to provide financial security and she also worries about breaking strong bonds with the family and friends who offer so much support in the UK. 

Nazeem is now hoping that a trial week in Australia's Gold Coast will reveal the promise of a better quality of life and put to bed Joanne's concerns about a move. So, will their journey lead to a healthier happier future for the whole family or will the reality of moving to the other side of the world signal the end of the road for Nazeem's dream?
