Series 12: 8. Samson Family
Disillusioned by life in the NHS, nurse and mum Yvonne Samson is more determined than ever to pursue her dream of moving from Scotland to Australia's Sunshine Coast and join her sister who is already settled there. Husband David is more than happy with his life in Glasgow. He has worked hard to get to where he is workwise, and would find it difficult to leave both it and family behind.\n\nThe two met when they were teenagers at their first place of work, and while they parted as friends and developed relationships with other people, they never lost touch. A chance encounter in a nightclub reignited the spark. Yvonne has two children from her previous marriage, then Sarah came along eight years ago.\n\nBusy lives mean little time for family, but while Yvonne yearns to move to Australia for a better family life, David is not convinced the grass is greener on the other side of the world. Yvonne needs to convince him it is, but a move would mean a sacrifice for Yvonne too. Her eldest daughter, 21-year-old daughter Shannon, lives with her partner nearby and would not be going.\n\nWith her two other daughters in tow, the family have a week to sort out what sort of life they could lead and afford if they were to make the move.
