BBC One - Wanted Down Under, Series 12, Stockley Family

Having survived tough times, Gavin is convinced a new start down under is what is needed.

British families explore the idea of moving to Australia or New Zealand. Having survived tough times, Gavin is convinced a new start down under is what is needed.

Gavin and Aimee Stockley from Hampshire have had a traumatic couple of years that has convinced them it might be time to move Down Under. But they'll be leaving a lot behind if they do.

Dad Gavin, mum Aimee, Madison, aged 12, and Cohen, who is ten, are a tight unit - hardly surprising given they have had to endure more than their fair share of difficult times. Five years ago, Amie was involved in a collision whilst driving with Cohen. Although both escaped major physical injury, the incident left her shaken. Then just ten months later, this time driving on her own, history repeated itself. Aimee suffered multiple neck and back injuries and the next few years became a living nightmare.

As Aimee began the slow road to recovery, husband Gavin began to feel the strain. This difficult time was compounded by the tragedy of the sudden deaths of two of his closest friends. It has taken time, but the family began to rebuild their lives. Determined to put the past behind him, Gavin's set his sights on brighter and hotter horizons.

Aimee understands what a move might mean, but is reluctant to uproot and take the family to Australia, a country they have never even visited, leaving their strong support network of those who helped them through their hard times in the process. Maddison and Cohen share her concerns.

A trial week in Melbourne reveals what life could be like. When it comes to the crunch, will the thought of leaving loved ones simply be too much for the Stockley family to bear?
