Escape to the Country sometimes seems unfinished/

Lovetopaint I am the same. We are pragmatists. To add to your list - The couple might have children but never ask about schools. Or they are in their 60s but fancy keeping pigs and alpacas with no previous experience or realisation of the 24/7 tie. Plus they have no idea how big one acre of land is, let alone the 5 acres they have asked for..... or the upkeep involved.

Yes agree. Even if nothing comes out of their search can we not be told? To be told they are probably going to put in an offer is still not enough. Did they or didn’t they. Also agree that another property could be shown instead of the sidetracking to some other chance for the presenter to spend time with some business etc. I prefer to shout out to the screen “what is your wi fi like? How far to a doctor/ dentist? Bus stops.What happens if you can’t drive? Do you really want an acre of long grass to manage? You don’t want neighbours! So what happens in an emergency etc etc. Really no one to talk to when you go out! How long before you won’t manage those steps etc etc.? Well I could be a pessimist or pragmatic ☹️

I used to enjoy Wanted Down Under and Revisited.

They tell you at the end if the couple proceed on any of the houses, even if their offer is turned down, if not there is no announcement.

We know of two couples who bought houses they visited in this area.

Occasionally, they do revisit shows that tell viewers what happened with some couples, whether they stayed in the house they bought or moved on. It’s quite interesting to see what they have done with the property they bought.
I agree, it can be frustrating when we don’t hear the outcome, and I agree with M0nica that some participants don’t really intend moving (or perhaps realise the dream is just that and that the reality wouldn’t really suit them at all).

On todays show which was two years old they said the couple had an offer accepted on a property very near to the mystery house.

Shysal, I watched one this week which was made this year - and they still didn't tell us what the conclusion was. I so agree, it spoils the programme as I'd really like to know.

I'd also like to see four properties rather than the escapees mooching around a nearby town or the presenter doing something "to help". I want to drool over more lovely kitchens, or turn my nose up at hideous decor ...

It seems to be the older repeat programmes which don't give any further information. It spoils it for me when they say nothing.

I think it is because most of the people taking part are just indulging a dream and very few of them do ever buy the proerty they say at the end they intend to buy. Unlike Location x , where many participants do indeed buy the property, which enables programmes like to night's Location x 3 to show how tthey are getting on 5 years later.
