The Real Seachange - First Season English Subtitles

1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,399
Not long ago, the Australian dream
was pretty simple -

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:06,639
a block of land
and a home in the suburbs.

3
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:09,239
Today, the dream's changed.

4
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,919
A lot of people are taking chances
on a new life and new friends

5
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:14,919
and a different place to live.

6
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:18,799
Over the next few weeks, we'll meet
some families who are risking it all.

7
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,479
Some find paradise, some don't,

8
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,600
as they all experience
The Real Seachange.

9
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:27,239
Tonight...

1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:02,639
Would you believe that recently,

2
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:07,799
85% of Australians said they would
love to do a seachange one day?

3
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:09,279
85%!

4
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:13,279
But we don't all actually follow
through with the dream, do we?

5
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:17,440
Well, this is The Real Seachange.

6
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:22,199
Last week, Dean and Annie
quit Melbourne

7
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:23,999
for a remote fishing village.

8
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,239
We're building a little shack
and a little residence

9
00:00:26,240 --> 00:00:27,799
and we've got to turn it around

1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:03,639
Tonight, it's crunch time
for two of our couples

2
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:06,359
who are chasing the new
great Australian dream.

3
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:08,759
They're about to finally decide

4
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:11,759
if leaving the big city
was worth the risk.

5
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:14,440
This is The Real Seachange.

6
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,119
Jacqui and Simon's brave move -

7
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:20,599
quitting city safety for a farm.

8
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:22,839
No, you have to get
the cow's head in it first.

9
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:24,319
Yeah, I'm just trying to,
uh... (Laughs)

1
00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:03,239
Escaping the city
for a simpler, better life

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:05,279
isn't just an Aussie thing.

3
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:07,959
Other countries
are getting into the act as well.

4
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:11,479
So, tonight we'll meet a family
coming halfway round the world

5
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:12,959
to Australia.

6
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:15,959
Also, two of our Aussie families
decide

7
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:19,320
if it's time to pack their bags
and go home.

8
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:23,399
This is The Real Seachange.

9
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:26,359
Lynne's mission

1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:03,199
Most Aussies having a crack
at a seachange

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,559
are part romantics,
part risk-takers.

3
00:00:05,560 --> 00:00:08,799
They buy into businesses
they have no clue how to run.

4
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:10,279
One day an office worker,

5
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:13,719
the next day -
instant farmer or a publican,

6
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:17,159
working harder than ever
with real bills to pay.

7
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:20,079
But when the romance is gone,

8
00:00:20,080 --> 00:00:23,479
have our families got what it takes?

9
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,959
This is the Real Seachange.

1
00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:03,919
It's so hard leaving your
comfort zone, isn't it?

2
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:06,879
Saying goodbye to family and friends.

3
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:09,479
And tonight, our adventurers discover

4
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:13,959
that paradise comes at much more
than just an emotional cost.

5
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:17,399
This is The Real Seachange.

6
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,079
There's a present!
"Welcome to Australia." Oh!

7
00:00:20,080 --> 00:00:23,399
What a great start
for our family from Belfast.

8
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:25,399
(SQUEALS WITH DELIGHT)

9
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:29,719
So, tonight, why has it suddenly
gone wrong for Paul and Bernie?

1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:05,799
Oh, now, come on. Who would not want
to start again in a place like this?

2
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:09,759
But to survive a seachange,
you gotta make a living, don't you?

3
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:13,199
And it doesn't take long
to discover how tough things can be

4
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:15,399
when you've tossed in
the old pay packet.

5
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:17,519
So tonight, let's find out

6
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:20,999
if it's a leap of faith
or walking the plank

7
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,879
on The Real Seachange.

8
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:26,279
Larry and Adrienne win over the kids.

9
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:27,759
Hi, George. How are you?

1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:04,399
Yeah, sure, a seachange
is a great adventure.

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:07,239
But it can also be
fraught with problems -

3
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:10,759
like a business
suddenly falling through

4
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:12,919
or the kids not settling in.

5
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:16,039
Even the removalists
can give you gyp.

6
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:21,279
Well, tonight, we'll see how
our families deal with such pressure,

7
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:23,399
while Bernie and Paul decide

8
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:27,079
are they going to stay
or are they going back to Belfast

9
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:30,999

1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:03,439
Making a seachange
means cutting ties.

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:07,719
Leaving family and friends behind.
And, now, that's a big thing.

3
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:11,559
But what happens when family members
turn up unannounced?

4
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:13,759
Especially the unwanted ones?

5
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:16,159
Well, tonight, we'll find out.

6
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:19,399
And while there's lots of stress
in Port Douglas,

7
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:23,239
Tim and Kay's adventure
starts in a flood of tears.

8
00:00:23,240 --> 00:00:26,840
But that's all part
of the Real Seachange.

9
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:30,879

1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:03,679
How far would you go for a seachange?

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:07,119
In the last few weeks, we've seen
Cosimo and Patricia in France

3
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:10,519
and our Belfast family's
escape down-under.

4
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:15,119
Well, tonight, one woman
is about to walk out on her husband

5
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:18,079
to chase her dream
of living on an island.

6
00:00:18,080 --> 00:00:22,759
Also, after making it just
10 minutes down the road last week,

7
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:26,839
where to now for Tim and Kay,
our round-Australia adventurers,

8
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:29,639
on The Real Seachange?

9
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:33,079

1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:02,919
It's one thing to make a seachange.

2
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:06,079
It's another to admit
when you've made a mistake.

3
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:09,719
Tonight, the verdict's in
for two of our families.

4
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:13,239
Tim and Kay weigh up their
round-Australia adventure

5
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:17,759
and John and Julie decide whether
the newsagency was worth the risk.

6
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:22,039
And a new family try winemaking
for the first time

7
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:25,479
on The Real Seachange.

8
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:29,119
Tonight, Tim's corporate ordeal
is finally over...

9
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:30,639

1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:02,479
Over the past few weeks,

2
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:06,239
we've seen how a seachange can
be blessed with glorious highs

3
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:08,599
and cursed with challenging lows.

4
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:10,399
But when trouble strikes,

5
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:13,799
there's usually one thing
that pulls our families through,

6
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:16,359
and that's a united front.

7
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:19,119
So tonight, let's see what happens

8
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:22,639
when a new family
is split right down the middle.

9
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:27,159
Also, it's decision time for
Pip and Fraser on Norfolk Island

1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:02,718
As we have seen during this series,

2
00:00:02,719 --> 00:00:05,599
one of the keys
to a successful seachange

3
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:09,079
is to get the family settled in
as soon as possible.

4
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:10,559
This usually involves

5
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:14,119
moving in to the dream house
with the cracking view.

6
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:17,359
Well, tonight, two of our families
will find out

7
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:21,999
that even the best laid plans
can come unstuck at the last moment

8
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,959
on The Real Seachange.

9
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,439
Tonight...
