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She was writing to remind me that the advert I posted a little while back is now out of date (I’d imagine she was getting a little tired of the phone calls and emails so sorry Helen 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.

Please consider us for your next series of wanted down under. We are a family of four desperately trying to decide whether Australia would be a better place for us. I have family there already who would love us to join them but it seems such an enormous decision that we would be so grateful for an opportunity to have your guidance and advice.
Hello
Watching “Wanted Down Under” has rekindled a desire we had about 3 years ago to emmigrate to New Zealand. We went over for 3 weeks in 2005, and crammed in the North and South Islands, a bit of a blur, but unforgettable. At that time my husband was working on getting the correct qualifications, and now has them. The reason for emmigrating is cliched but honest, “A better Lifestyle” Our daughter is 10 and a keen athlete, but restricted by facilities and weather. We have our own home, but in the UK cannot expect to progress to anything bigger or better. A new land seems to offer opportunities which seem to have ceased in the UK.
Thanks
Guys for info, see This Post for details of Series 4 of Wanted Down Under
Cheers

Hi there
My partner and I would love to be considered for your next series of Wanted Down Under. We have been seriously thinking about this a while, and feel we have now reached a stage where we are ready to live and work in Austrailia, hopefully with some guidance from yourselves to achieve our families dream.
We have a 14 month old daughter and believe that we could provide her with a better quality of life down under. My partner is a qualified and skilled Plant Operator of 11 years and I am a Communications Operator for West Yorkshire Police. Many Thanks
I have lived in Australia for one year in 2001 and i loved it so much i want to go back. I am married with no kids, work in a international bank , My husband is a web developer. We would love to come out to Australia and make the dream real.
Thanks M&R
Hi
My family and I would love to be considered for your next new series Wanted Down Under.
We are ready to work and live in Australia, but would need some guidance and help to achieve this family dream in living the outdoor lifestyle in Australia.
I work as a Community Health Care Assistant and my husband is a qualified Painter And Decorator.
We have two children age 14 and 11.
Plus two lovely family dogs.
Many Thanks
Nina
The easy part is imigrating, when or if you decide to return then that can be very diffiicult indeed. Some coverage ought to be given to those you have returned home. We were in N Z for 7 years, returning to the U K with a family, no job, and no home, was very risky, difficult, and traumatic.
The grass always seems greener on the otherside of the street, and a short visit is not enough to fully appreciate the differences, and difficulties. NHS being just one example.
Perhaps you should add a little more caution to your prospective emmigarants.
Despite our economic situation, and our politicians, we have been back home 31 years now and have no regrest at all.
EVERYONE PLEASE NOTE
Every time the BBC shows Wanted Down Under we get quite a few folks leaving comments to our Wanted Down Under articles requesting to be considered for the next episode of series of the show.
Please remember getting down under is not affiliated with the show. We are simply a site which helps support people looking to emigrate to Australia by providing free help and advice and a Community of like minded wannabe Aussies
Please read the post at the top of this page which gives clear instructions on who to email for consideration for future shows.
Thanks guys and good luck

As a family we would like to be considered for your next programme. We have been wanting to emigrate to Australia for a few years and now feel we are in a position to do so. I work as a special needs teacher in a primary school and my husband is a self employed cabinet maker/furniture restorer. We have two children aged 15 and 13 and they would love the outdoor lifestyle Australia has to offer. Your programme would help us to fulfil our family dream.

Hi, My Wife and I are currently looking into moving to Western Australia. We’ve just been married a year and are looking to start a family and we would like to give them the best possible start in life that we can. With the current economy crisis in the U.K. we both feel that Northern Ireland has got nothing to offer us and it’ll be even worse when it comes for us to bring up children. If we got the opportunity to go to Australia then I would very much consider joining the Royal Australian Air Force as I’ve had military experience with our very own Royal Air Force. My wife would look for an administration job in an office. We would both be very grateful if you and your team would consider us for the next series and give us the boost we need to fulfilling our dreams. Thanks
my husband and myself feel that england does not offer much for ourself and family. We have a granddaughter who is just 3years we live by the sea in essex ,my daughter and granddaughter have a poor way of live and feel that there is no furture in this town which has no employment now so in the furture what will happen. we would love to move to australia with the next 2 years.
hope to see you all soon

Hi there my family and i are due to emigrate in January 2009. We have planned to start our new lives in Pearsall, perth,WA. We are both late thirties with two boys age 8 and 6. Would love to get some idea of what life would be like down under before the initial move. Would love to be considered for the new series if possible my husband is a tool maker and i am a childminder. Thanks
Me and my partner have recently been watching an episode of Wanted down under and have confirmed that this is something we have both always dreamed about. A completely different way of life with a lot more opportunities for us and our gorgeous 2 year old girl. My partner is a diesel fitter and I work for a bank, we are both 37 years old and whilst we have not ever visited the likes of Australia or perhaps Canada, we would love to be given the chance to sample this life in order to make a decision to emmigrate or not. Please consider us on any future series of the show.
Hi, My husband and i are seriously looking into leaving britain and starting a fresh

Hi, i’m in the process of moving to Fremantle. I’m a 35 yr old Emergency Nurse and i will be taking my two children with me. At the moment i’m sorting my registration with the board of western Australia. I hope to finally move June 1st 2009. My house is for sale in Ireland, i cant wait to go honestly.
Hi, It has always been my dream to move & live in Western Australia, I am a 33 year old gas engineer with a wife & 2 kids aged 12 & 2 years and feel it would be a great environment for my children to grow up in. We have already started the process of applying for Visas however we feel an oppurtunity like this, to be able to look at separate locations within WA would really help with choosing the correct destination and giving us every possible chance of making a go of it. Fingers crossed….
they are showing repeats of the 2nd series that were aired in january on bbc2 at the moment.
still good to watch, especially when they are in perth as that is where we would like to go, and it is our fave place to go on holiday.
Hmmm i have emailed them today durrrrrr far too late the 3rd series as already started i love the programme i get butterflies watching it and have actually had tears after it as i am so jealous we not there , here hoping they do a 4th series.
Mty husband was offered a job last june but are daughter was only 6 weeks old and we felt it wasnt the right time big regrets now, My husband and i love both new zealand and australia even tho we never been but everything comes down to money and at the moment we just cant afford a trip , then the papers and the security of having some monay to fall back on in a emergancy.
Heres hoping we can win some money some where.

Wanted down under definitely opens up your eyes to the exciting possibilities of life abroad. My partner and i would love to explore life down under as we feel its time to make a life together with the best opportunities for our 9 week old daughter…
I am a prison officer my partner is a builder/engineer, Do these jobs come under jobs that are wanted/ shortfall abroad??
Thank you
I am interested if you are doing a 3rd series on Wanted Down Under. My family and I have considered moving to Australia for a few years but the time has never been right. My partner (aged 34) is in the building trade working as a dryliner and also has worked as an artexer since leaving school.
We have an 8 year old son together and our preferred location would be to live in Perth as my sister-in-law and her family have recently moved there.
Kind regards.
Joanne Squire
has anyone actually heard from the BBC to say that they have been chosen for a possible third series , or do you reckon it is too early in the year??
Hello my name is Jude and i’m due to qualiry as a adult nurse this september. i am from the greater Manchester area and so far i have been unsucsessful with my job hunting. i have recently been on the new jobs bulleton and there are no jobs for newly qualifieds in september. After 4 years of study, i am struggling to support my family.
However, the other side of the world has loads of positions available for a skilled worker (nurse) like myself to apply. Wow what an opportunity, we just need help to decide where is best and what would be ideal for our young family.
My husband is an ex soldier who has all his driving catagories and we have a little boy who’s 4 years old and a 15 month old son.
we would love the best opportunity for our family, so if there is another series to be made of your popular programme, we would love to participate of what would truly be life changing and beneficial for us. So please could you take our application to apply on board, as we would love to take part in Wanted Down Under.
please consider me and my family to appear on the new series of wanted down under. my partner really wants to go but im not so sure and its causing us a lot of problems deciding this is our only chance as we cant affordto go there o see what its like. we have two daughters aswell.
thanks claire

I applied on the 16 March and received an automated response back saying due to the high number of applicants they were no longer looking for contributors for the next series. They would however keep our details on file for consideration for a future series.
Is it too late to apply for the third series?……..is there a closing date? Charlene, Mark & Lily.
Thanks for the email address for the bbc programme ‘Wanted Down Under’ I have just sent an email & am really hoping to hear back from them….Has anyone else heard back yet? Or is anyone reading this appeared on previous shows…Be great to hear from you! Kelly, Jay, Aaron & Jarred.
sent an application e-mail to the bbc last week, and i got the same automated reply that i got when i first e-mailed them.
will wait and see what happens in the near future.
mark: it does seem odd that some people have not read your posting clearly.
it was through this site that i found out about a possible series 3.
I read the post and emailed them
Fingers crossed
Sometimes I’m left wondering if you guys are reading a different post to me
All the instructions are in the post above. To confirm:
If you are interested in appearing in the Third Series of Wanted Down under then you need to email the BBC at: wanteddownunder@bbc.co.uk
Hi Chaps
As a family we would like to emigrate to a place such as Australia or New Zealand. Doing what I do appears to be a draw back in as such that there does not appear to be an opening or a position of employment for such a trade, either that or that you have to be a citizen of Australia in order to obtain such a position.
Please would you consider us for your programe
Chris

My husband who is a joiner has been wanting us to consider emigrating to Australia for a couple of years now as he firmly believes that we would be able to provide a far more better quality of life for our 5 year old daughter. I have many reservations as I believe I would find it difficult to leave my family behind. We have been watching Wanted Down Under and would seriously like to be considered for the next series.
me and my husband and our 3 children need your help we cannot decide on austraila or the usa so can you help us make this decion
Would love to appear on your show. Our friends emigrated to Perth Australia 2 years ago. I would love to give my family a life they deserved. Sounds fantastic. Please give us this chance to see if this is the life for us. It is for our friends, they kee telling us how they have no regrets and a better life fr themselves as well as a better education for their daughter. Would love to travel to Perth as our friends ARE there. Thank you. We are serous!

Oh Heidi, please read the entry again and send an email to the Beeb
My husband and I have just started our visa application to live in Australia however, we have not visited Australia as a family before as we now have a 16 month old daughter.
The majority of my husbands family live in Australia and I feel my daughter would have a better future.
Should there be a series 3, please consider us.
Many thanks
