BBC One - Wanted Down Under, 2017 Reversions, Holroyd

The Holroyds were a family at breaking point. Could a move down under save the marriage?

Working away every week had dad Simon exhausted and put a strain on his relationship with his wife. She thought Australia could give the family a new lease of life.

Life was hard for the Holroyds in 2015. Dad Simon's working week started at 2.45am on Monday and didn't finish until after 8.00pm on Friday. When he was at home, he was too exhausted to spend any quality time with his family. It was driving loving wife Helen to tears and threatened to tear the family apart.
 
Desperate for change, Helen believed a fresh start in Australia could be the solution. But leaving the UK would mean Helen having to say goodbye to her mum, the one person who was always there for her at home.
 
When the family experienced a trial week in Australia, everyone agreed their future would be brighter down under. But one year on, where do the Holroyds now call home?
