Holroyd Family

Episode 6 of 24

Series in which families try out life overseas. Mum Helen believes a fresh start in Australia could provide what the Holroyds need to transform their family life.

Life's hard on the Holroyds. Dad Simon's working week starts at 2.45am on Monday morning and doesn't finish until after 8.00pm on Friday night. When he does eventually get home, he's too tired to spend any quality time with his family.

It's a routine which loving wife Helen says drives her to tears every day and is threatening to tear her family apart. Desperate for change, she believes a fresh start for her family in Australia could be the solution.

But will Australia provide what the Holroyds need to transform their family life? And will Helen really be able to leave the one person who's always been there for her at home?
