Name of a tv programme

[Alc]

Hopefully, somebody back in Blighty can remember the name of this one.

• It was on in 2002 and 2003, but may have run for longer.
• I'm pretty sure it was on BBC2
• It was about people who wanted to move from the UK to live and work in another country. Part of the programme was spent looking for a house/apartment for the people involved and the rest looked at what they planned to do for work and what preparation they were carrying out beforehand.
• I remember one family went to France, one to Canada, one to the bahamas, and one to Tenerife.
• I can't remember the name or who was in it

I was describing it to someone here and drew a total blank on the name.

Perfect!

I wouldn't have remebered that name if you'd given me a year to do so. I do remember the one presenter, though, and that was her.

Many thanks.

I think dan-cat's link is perfect. You can get the presenter name from the link. When you get the name than please share with us. I also want to know the name.

The programme itself is called "Get a new life".

It's one of the reasons I'm now in Canada.

'Get a new Life'. I met the couple that relocated to Costa Teguise, Lanzarote in the Captain Cook Bar. They are back in Blighty now.

Was that the guy who packed his laptop and a printer in his suitcase, paying extra as it took him over the weight allowance, and was then amazed when they were smashed when he arrived?

 

[SirGibble]

Yeah, Ethan. He was a web designer but couldn't get any work as he didn't speak spanish.

He was great. I remember his logic being that he needed to take the printer so he could make up business cards for a business he didn't have, rather than paying to have them printed over there once he'd set one up.

Made me feel positively over-prepared when I was getting ready to come here.
