BBC One - I Escaped to the Country, Series 7, Norfolk

Jules Hudson revisits two pairs of home-buyers he previously showed around Norfolk.

Jules Hudson reunites with a family he met in 2021, finding that one of the houses he showed them, which they said was everything they didn’t want, has now become their perfect escape.

Jules Hudson retraces his steps in the county of Norfolk. Back in 2021, he helped a couple from south east London search for a new Norfolk home to accommodate them, their three children and Grandma too. A year later, Jules returns to find out that one of the houses in his initial line up, that they said was everything they didn’t want, has now become their perfect escape from the capital. Jules also reconnects with another pair of his house-hunters to find out if the desire for more kitchen drawer space was fulfilled by their rural East Anglian relocation!
