I remember watching this programme when I was in UK.
Yes those family members really had some power in those tears to turn around dreams.
I remember also that teenage children could be very anti-move.

I think it's really a tough decision if you have very close family ties. Australia really is a long long way.
Most who make the move know it'll likely take years to either travel back to UK for a holiday or have family members make a visit.

It seemed to me that most people wanted to move as a way to improve their quality of life but finally saw the financials were just not what they imagined and certainly not a step up.

Interesting programme though.
