Huddart Family

Episode 20 of 24

Mum Sofia works long shifts, and she hardly has any time with her family. Can she persuade her London-loving husband to move to New Zealand?

Anaesthetist Sofia is passionate about her job, but demanding shifts mean she's missing out on time with her family, and she has become increasingly disillusioned about the future of the NHS.

Both she and husband Nik have discussed emigrating before, and the couple are now considering a move to New Zealand. Househusband Nik does have some concerns about emigrating to the other side of the world. Fond of the cultural opportunities London has to offer, he also fears moving would mean closing the door on owning a property in the capital again.

The couple spend a trial week in Auckland before facing the biggest decision of their lives - whether to take the plunge and go ahead with a move or stick with what they have in the UK.
