Jones Family

Episode 18 of 24

UK families explore the possibility of moving to Australia or New Zealand. Single mum Paula wants to begin afresh. She and her two kids spend a trial week in Adelaide.

Paula Jones has struggled to make ends meet ever since becoming a single mum, and despite going back to university, she has had no choice but to rely on the state for support. Desperate to provide a better future for her children and escape the benefits trap, Paula is now considering a fresh start with her family in Australia.

While Paula's son Luke is up for a move, her daughter Kacey isn't convinced that what the country has to offer will be worth sacrificing the close relationship she has with her dad. In their first ever trip down under, the family spend a week in Adelaide. But will the financial reality of life in Australia live up to Paula's hopes and persuade Kacey to make the move?
