Wanted Down Under - Applications wanted by the BBC for second series

September 4, 2007

BBC Wanted Down Under - How to apply for series two of wanted down under

I’m really not sure how current this news is (it was passed on by a friend of mine) but it transpires that the BBC are going to be doing a second series of Wanted Down Under very soon and are looking for candidates to join them.

I’m not sure if this second series of Wanted down under will be as popular as the first as this new series looks like it will be concentrating on folks looking to emigrate to New Zealand.

Still, the official line from the BBC is as follows:

The BBC are on the search for families wishing to immigrate to New Zealand for our 2nd series of Wanted Down Under, a program in which we take families to test-ride New Zealand for a week before they decide whether to emigrate.

If you feel you could make interesting contributors for the show, please send us an email stating why, including contact details. Emails should be addressed to Contact details updated : Click Here for the latest contact details for series three

So there you go folks, if you fancied the look of this TV program first time around then get your applications for the second series of the BBC’s Wanted Down Under Program now.

Remember to give Getting Down Under a mention when you call 8)

Also, if you manage to ‘get in’ or shortlisted please let us know :)

Good Luck!

    Hi I have just found this great site, we were the Jones family on the first series of wanted down under, the BBC came out to Oz to film an update a couple of months ago, which will be screened in Jan/Feb so keep your eyes peeled for us.

    Hi Mark, I have just caught this show for the second time and totally hooked. Myself and my family did make enquiries some months ago about the whole emigration process, and found that as a mechanic and an estate agent, we would be more than welcomed, but its just such a daunting process looking into schools, housing etc when you have 4 kids ranging from newborn to 17 years old!!!! So much to consider. So I have just emailed the BBC to see if we would be considered for the show at any point, as I think the sort of guidance this show offers would be invaluable. Heres hoping we make it! I’ll let you know. Regards, Karina

    hello, would love to take part in the show - my husband and I and our 11 year old daughter are seriously thinking of emigrating to either new zealand or australia - but having watched the australia programmes so far we seem to have been swayed a little towards australia. My husband is a porfessional golfer and I work as a sales executive for education supplies and our daughter charlotte attends private school locally. One of her friends from school emigrated to new zealand last year and a friend of my husband’s also - my husband has relatives in perth australia but we have not had contact with them for over 20 years. Please consider us we would love to just have the experience of a week looking around on the job front and houses and of course schools just to finally make our mind up - hope you contact us - please-please-please - thank you
