Morse Family
Series in which British families experience a trial week living in Australia or New Zealand. A dad wants to see his children more, can he and his wife swap roles in New Zealand?
On the surface, Glenn and Sue Morse live an idyllic life in the countryside with their two children. But long shifts as a policeman means Glenn's missing out on seeing his young children grow up, and self-employed quantity surveyor Sue is feeling the pressure.
They're considering drastic action to turn their lives around. Moving to New Zealand would see Glenn turning his back on a 20-year career to become a house husband, while Sue becomes the sole earner.
On a trial week in Auckland, the couple discover that while work may be available for Sue, it would come at a cost.
