This observational series follows six British families as they achieve what many of us can only dream of: swapping the day-to-day grind for life-changing adventures in remote corners of the world. Kicking off the series are the Willmotts. In the Himalayas, the Mongolian steppes and deep in the Papuan rainforest, they seek out places and people untouched by the modern world. Theirs is an epic journey that includes encounters with the Dalai Lama and one of the world's remotest tribes, but will it make a lasting impact on their lives?

I believe there are six episodes although Channel4 seems rather inept at providing future schedule information. I have all four that have been transmitted so far & will release them as usual, simply adding to/editing the existing release.
These are nothing to do with me.........I'm just the messenger. They can be found all over the internet in the usual places although these particular rips are taken from TheBox.

I don't think the quality of these is particularly good which almost pleases me, making me realise my captures are maybe not so bad after all!

Episode 6 features the Fisher family with two young children attempting to sail a yacht to America.

Gary Fisher always thought there must be more to life than a car in the garage and a mortgage round his neck, and now he plans to find out. Gary wants to see if it's possible for a welder from Warrington to take on the middle class dream and buy an ocean-going yacht and sail his wife and twin toddlers to America. But the only way he can afford his dream is to do all the restoration work on the boat himself. Over two gruelling years he spends every penny, and every spare minute of his time attempting to get the boat on the water. But as the yacht nears completion his marriage falls apart. This film charts the emotional journey of a man whose desire to build a better life for his family risks losing them entirely.

Enjoy!

Episode 2 now added to the release. This features a sailing adventure with the Lawrence family & their 2 young boys. No girls this time but it's no less suitable as an FLM release.

Coolio!!

Hopping on this one sight unseen [It's really late, I'm really ragged, and not even taking time to study synop, and pix..], trusting your judgment..

Thanks for all you provide FLM, lb!

Episode 1 was good and I'm downloading #2, but I'm somewhat of a disbeliever - you'd have to be pretty damn rich to be able to take an entire year off work to go traipsing around the world.

Episode 3 added to release.

Not only that, but I believe this was no TV company freebie, all the families having to finance their own expeditions. I guess there must be a certain element of wealth here........probably they were something to do with the banking industry before they had to go poncing off the taxpayer!

The father in the first episode supposedly made his money off of real estate. I know some of them make LOTS of money, but still...

And taking your children to the worst malaria area in the world while refusing to vaccinate them is worse than irresponsible, not to mention intentionally seeking out a possibly hostile primitive tribe who might kill them, especially since they apparently made no effort to learn any of the languages of the places they planned to go - they couldn't even say "Don't shoot! We're friendly!"

This was filmed on professional equipment by professional cameramen, even the "self-shot" segments. How did they make contact with a Mongolian family in the middle of nowhere and convince them to let total strangers in their homes? I sense payoff$ and it feels like the entire adventure year was scripted and staged. It just doesn't feel legit. Just my opinion.

Episodes 4, 5 & 6 now added to the existing release. I'll post some more screenshots when I've got a bit more time.....
This series is now complete.

I'm not sure I agree with you about a payoff£........We're fed crap & treated like idiots but there has to be a certain level of transparency in broadcasting........can you imagine how much poop would hit the fan if it transpired there'd been a financial 'helping hand' when it had been clearly stated the participants funded their own expeditions?

We're not talking Middle America or Middle England here.........these are people who embrace & yearn for a different lifestyle, some with the benefit of money & some without. They take risks to themselves & their family that to our well-heeled, supposedly civilised culture is unacceptable. I really don't know whether to condemn them for irresponsible behaviour or congratulate them for having the balls to give themselves & their family that 'once in a lfetime' glimpse of something very different.

I must admit, there is the possibility this would work. I have more than 14 months of vacation saved up, and if my employer allowed me take it all in one stretch I'd be able to go on this kind of adventure. I guess I'm just not the adventurous type.

Thanks guys, am working on getting them now. Will see how eMule does this time. All going well it will work.
