Schnell Family

Episode 4 of 20

Andrew Schnell wants to move his family to his home country, New Zealand. Will a week's sample of Kiwi life be enough to persuade his reluctant wife and daughter?

Eighteen years after moving to the UK, Andrew Schnell is desperate to return home to New Zealand and take his young family with him. Son Josh is excited about a move to the other side of the world, but strong ties in the UK mean things aren't as straightforward for wife Katrina and daughter Hannah.

A week experiencing the Kiwi lifestyle seems to be winning the whole family round, but when their UK home is valued much lower than they had hoped, Andrew's dream of moving home comes under serious threat.
