BBC One - Wanted Down Under Revisited, Series 12, Barker

Did a daughter persuade her Mum to move with her to New Zealand?

18-year-old Richelle was determined to move to New Zealand and take Mum Lorraine with her. But did a trial week persuade Lorraine she can leave her own Mum behind in Wales?

18-year-old Richelle and her Mum Lorraine did everything together, but Richelle's dream to move to New Zealand meant the pair could spend the rest of their lives on opposite sides of the world. Richelle had one week in Auckland to persuade Lorraine that moving to New Zealand would be worth leaving her mum behind in Wales. And that's not all - for Lorraine, starting a new life at the age of 50 was a daunting prospect. Would Lorraine's concerns be addressed or would Richelle and Lorraine's close bond be broken for good? Five years later are the Barkers living on the other side of the world in New Zealand or close to home in the UK?

Wanted Down Under Revisited: Series 12

Catching up with some of the original British families who tried out life in Australia and New Zealand, finding out where they are now.
