Wanted Down Under Series 3 – How to Apply for Wanted Down Under
I had an email from Helen Crawley the researcher at the BBC who helped find the ‘contestants’ to appear on The BBC’s Popular Wanted Down Under Program.
She was writing to remind me that the advert I posted a little while back is now out of date (I’d imagine she was getting a little tired of the phone calls and emails so sorry Helen 
)
She has asked me to update the contact details. So if any of you folks are interested in appearing in the Third Series of Wanted Down under then you need to email the BBC at: wanteddownunder@bbc.co.uk.
Helen was a little none committal though saying the BBC ‘may still need applicants for series 3 should we make one’ so keep this in mind when sending your emails off.
Having said that, with the popularity of the first two series of Wanted Down Under I would be very surprised if they don’t make a third or perhaps even a forth series.
So there you go folks, it’s official and you heard it here first (perhaps 
). If you want to apply for the third series of the BBC’s Wanted down Under program then email the BBC at the address above.

HELLO,MY NAME IS GAIL ,I AM 38 AND I HAVE BEEN MARRIED TO LEE(39) FOR OVER12 YEARS,I HAVE TWO DAUGHTERS MEGHAN (11) AND LEAH(10) WE HAVE BEEN INTERESTED IN A EXCITING NEW LIFE FOR OUR FAMILY IN AUSTRALIA FOR SOME TIME ,WE HAVE THOUGHT AND TALKED OF NOTHING ELSE,ALTHOUGH WE HAVE BOTH NEVER VISITED AUSTRALA WE CAN'T WAIT FOR A NEW CHALLENGE,WE DO HAVE A VISA APPLICANT CURRENTLY IN PROCESS FOR A PERMINENT RESIDENT FOR QUEENSLAND , AUSTRALIA, YOUR PROGRAMME HAS REALLY HELPED US AND ANSWERED A LOT OF OUR QUESTIONS WE HAVE ASKED OURSELVES.
WE WOULD REALLY LOVE TO SEE THIS WONDERFUL,COLOURFUL COUNTRY .
My family and I visited Australia in Oct 08 for two weeks to visit family , my daughter did not want to go at first but ended up not wanting to come home , my son also did not want to come home . We all fell in love with Oz and would like to emigrate, I said to my family over there I wanted to claim political asylum so we could have stayed. I would recommend going out for a holiday to make sure it is for you.
I would love to relocate permanently to Australia I need some help especially in terms of getting a job.
My hubby (29) and I (31) and our 4 kids (14,13,10 and 6) are considering a move to Australia. My hubby is a water leakage technician. We really want to leave Britain behind for Australia. We are not sure where to start. We have been doing lots of research. We really want to do this and any help and advice would be gratefully received.We would love to appear n the next series as we have watched the previous ones and they have really helped the people on it. We would rent for the first six months until my hubby had settled in a job(he would need a job offer before moving out there) then we would hopefully get a mortgage for around £150,000. I hope we can achieve our dream so our children can have a better future.
I am 34 and have two boys aged 9 and 11yrs, we have talked about moving to Australia for several years now, my boys are very much outdoor children and would love to get involed with all the sporting activities which the country has to offer, we enjoy the heat and living the outdoor life, although we have never visited australia before we would love to take part in your show to experience the different areas to live and view the properties and visit some schools etc and hopefully find a p/time job for me (mum)

hi, can’t believe i’m able to contact the show i love watching it i’m a big fan but i was wondering do you have to be from the uk to apply to the show as me and my family live in ireland at the moment but are interested in making the big move to australia i am 34 and my husband is 35 he would come under the skilled worker as he is a brick layer, we have four children all boys ages 2,3,6,and 13, very energic boys and we mainly want to make the move for them as in ireland there’s not much to do as the weather is always bad so ther’s nowhere to bring them and with the ressesion hitting everyone bad over here my husband got made redundant and is finding it impossible to find work so we would rent out our house for 12 months and rent in australia as we have never been there before and don’t know much about it only wat we’ve seen on the show and what other people have told us we have joined up with an agency to try get perminent visa’s but this will take anything up to a year please help me and my family look for a better and fuller life, thanks

Hi There,
After spending about a year pondering on the idea of potentially moving to Oz, myself and my partner of 6 years have finally decided to take the plunge and see if it’s really for us! We are in our early twenties and are currently renting a really nice house in Nottingham but can’t help but feel tied down and enthusiastic about emigrating. I currently work as IT recruitment consultant and my partner is a qualified fitness advisor with hopes of getting into the fire service.
We love the idea of having the opportunity to start a new life in a beautiful place and be different from the crowd! We have friends and family who are currently in process of relocating and we are keen to find out more and the best way to go about it. We think wanted down under would be a great opportunity to find out about employers, property and generally get the feel for life in Oz! At present apart from work we don’t have any major commitments and are looking to settle down and start a family of our own in Sydney!
We are not really sure which visa would be most suitable for us?
Please help us make a positive change in our lifes and really make the most of our future.
Thank you,
Sabina
Hi my name is Debbie, my husband Robert and our 3 kids 5,9,13 would love the oppertunity to be on your show.
we Have been thinking of moving down under for a while now but have no real idea how to go about it.
As we only wont to do this once it would be great to have your expertise in the country , how to find jobs, house schools ect.
we wont a better life for our kids and this seems the perfect place we did look at spain a few years ago but decided this was not for us.
My husband is a floor finisher and we know this is a sought after trade down under i am a support worker for the elderly and disabled, so i hope finding jobs would not be too difficult.
Please please help us fulfill this dream to give both ourselves and our kids the best start in our new life downunder.
We are definatly going to do it it would just be so much nicer and easier with your help.
Thank you
Debbie Mcbride. x x
