My name is Jenny, I'm an assistant producer for a TV company in the UK called Fever Media.

We are making a TV series about British Expats that are considering moving back to the UK but are yet undecided.

The details are below, please let me know if you would like to find out more or feel free to pass it on to any people you think might be interested!
Best
Jenny.

ITV is offering homesick British ex-pats the chance to come home!

Every year more and more Brits are giving up their life in the sun to move back to the UK – last year more than 80,000 expats came home.

The decision to go home however is a tough one and can be a huge ongoing dilemma for the whole family.
To investigate this phenomenon, ITV1 is making a second series of the day-time documentary ‘No Place Like home?’

Families who take part will get the chance to be flown back to Britain to test-drive the reality of life there. It’s an opportunity to fact-find, and equip themselves to make an informed choice - to remain an expat or realise it’s time to come back home.

If anyone is interested in taking part or knows someone who may be suitable, please email:

Expat Brits will appreciate this is a logical progression. First, the umpteen programmes that helped you leave the UK...now a new wave generation of shows to help you come back. Next, first leave the UK; then go back; then decide this wasn't such a great idea after all and re-emigrate.

Or why not create a sort-of uber blend of formats by situating the Big Brother house in Naples and getting the inmates to clear up the garbage; or only allowing expats back into the UK if they win a talent contest, or can cook a gourmet meal blindfolded, or can duet with a yodelling dog; or how about Expat Celebrity Sex Change On Ice ?

Glad to see the UK TV industry I left behind is still thriving !
