Series 11: 4. Samra Raison Family
Jessie Samra and Kevin Raison wanted the best future possible for their children but had become increasingly concerned about their family's prospects if they stayed put in the UK. Though they had never been, they had set their sights on a new life in Australia. Ahead of them was a week to discover if the country could live up to their high expectations.\n\nTwo years ago we met the Samra Raison family. They were Jessie, Kevin, Kuba, Kieran and Shay. Before she met Kevin, Jessie was a single mum living an active life in Wales with daughter Kuba. Then four years ago the small family moved back to West Bromwich, where Jessie had grown up in to be closer to her family. Wanting to remain active she had enrolled in bootcamp training sessions and a certain instructor caught her eye. The couple fell in love, and Kevin became part of Jessie and Kuba's world. Soon they were joined by their son Shay and it felt like their world was perfectly pieced together.\n\nThere was also an important fifth member of the family - Jessie's nephew Kieran, who Jessie had cared for like a son. Kevin and Jessie were raring to go on with their Australian dream. They knew what they wanted, and they had to have it in their grasp very quickly. They had an exciting, if a little daunting, trial week in Adelaide, and while it delivered much it also showed the obstacles and challenges they would have to face if they were to move.\n\nSo two years since we last heard from the Samra Raisons, where will we find them living now?
