Series 12: 16. Myburgh Family
Young Albie Myburgh is the apple of his parents' eyes. He has a rare genetic disorder, fragile X syndrome, which causes developmental problems that his mum and dad believe lessen in the warmth of the sun. To give him the best possible chance, Jayne is determined to take her young son to Australia - a place she has yearned to live in for a long time.\n\nNo stranger to hot climates himself, South Africa-born Eugene is well aware of his wife's dreams but needs more than a promise of sunshine to convince him he should move to the other side of the world. He is fearful the family would be throwing away the wonderful network of love and support they currently have from friends and family in the UK if they were to go.\n\nA week in the Brisbane sunshine lets the Myburghs see if the benefits of the Australian lifestyle can make up for the emotional upheaval of leaving family behind before we ask them to make the life defining decision as to where their future lies.
