Margot and Henry Harris are a couple in their late seventies hoping to find a new home in Berkshire, as well as a holiday retreat on the Dorset coast.

Civil Servant Pav Akhtar has a new job which means a move north with partner Mikael Denis.

Can Phil and Kirstie turn their dream into a reality, despite their fears?

They're new to the game, but Christine's been doing her homework, spending the last two years living away from Keith in a range of hotels while learning the ropes in preparation for their new venture. Now Keith has moved north and the two of them are living in a hotel room, waiting to start living the dream for real.

Phil meets a family who were desperate to be reunited after ten years of living thousands of miles apart.
