Series 12: 20. Atkins Family
Roz and Chris Atkins are happily married, despite having very different personalities. Roz wants to throw caution to the wind and follow her wildest dreams while Chris believes slow and steady wins the race.\n\n\n\nEver since the couple got together six years ago, talk of New Zealand has been a constant and sometimes sensitive subject. It is a passion that all started when Rossindra, from an Indian community in the Malay Peninsula, visited New Zealand 17 years ago. She promptly fell in love with the weather, people and its laid-back lifestyle. But Chris believes his wife is chasing something that probably isn't there. Her memories are being filtered through the rose-tinted spectacles he believes she is wearing.\n\n\n\nWith Chris settled in a good job, and their two young daughters Lucy and Sarah loving life in Bracknell in south east England, he thinks they should be going nowhere. But for Rossindra, life is universally grey in England. She wants more colour in her life and is prepared to move to get it. Having recently been made redundant from her job, she feels the time to move is right now.\n\n\n\nMum and dad may be on different pages, but as the trial week approaches, Chris is prepared to give it a go. What if the tables turn when they get out there? Might Rossindra get the wobbles about moving, with cautious Chris ending up loving it?
