Episode 3
Rosie Millard charts the progress of people making long distance moves across the UK, Jim with his homemade aeroplane and artist Tina, who tries crowdfunding to afford her removals.
On average we move eight times during our lives and end up quite close to where we are born.
But this week Rosie meets Tina, an American artist and serial mover. Tina gets itchy feet within months and is now drawn by the light and coastline of the North East. Fascinated by Scarborough where she knows no one but one on-line friend, Tina is trying to raise the money to make the 250 mile move through crowdfunding.
Jim and Sheila are leaving behind their beloved converted barn to move from Derby to Northern Ireland. Sheila has never lived outside Derby but now in her 70s, Jim is taking her across the North Sea with her Labradors and his home-made aeroplane to be nearer the grandchildren and, with cheaper house prices, a dream of living like kings. But sadly before they go, they have a secret they must bid farewell to.
Producers: Simon Elmes and Sarah Bowen.
