The programme shows families considering emigrating from the UK to either Australia or New Zealand.

Considering a move to the other side of the world can create a massive dilemma for even the most close-knit families.

For Mum perhaps constant sunshine and barbies on the beach is her lifelong dream, while for Dad and the kids it may mean leaving behind, not only everything, but everyone they know and love in the UK.

Our intrepid families spend a trial week in an Australian or New Zealand city exploring property, work and lifestyle opportunities before checking out the true financial cost of living down under.

After experiencing what a new life could offer, they are then shown often heart-breaking messages from their friends and families back home before voting once and for all whether they will stay ... or will they go?
