Episodes
Episode 1
In the opening episode we are treated to their guided tour of the chosen area by local man Anthony - the lack of a common language has hilarious and potentially disastrous consequences.
Episode 2
Taken for a ride by a local landowner, they turn for help to an English developer on the island. But Vania, local architect with a conscience, seems determined to scupper their dreams. Will they ever find their dream plot 'with a view'?
Episode 3
Raising the cash for their new dream home proves impossible without some drastic action, so Brian and Andrew decide to bite the bullet, sell up and live in the new house full time. Pete and Lesley are not amused and are ready to pull out
Episode 4
The fearsome foursome have found the perfect plot and the developer is snapping at their heels for the money to get going. They need funds fast, so Brian uses all his charm to try and get a quick sale on the UK house, to little avail. So a furious Pete and Lesley are forced to come up with the money.
Episode 5
The foursome battle Greek bureaucracy, Greek builders and - incredibly - snow, as they struggle to build their dream house in (normally) sunny Crete. Brian and Andrew have ditched life in Coventry and fly out to the Cretan hills for the rest of their lives, while Pete and Lesley remain unconvinced. But there's surely no going back now.
Episode 6
It's moving in day in Crete for Brian, Andrew and their chums Pete and Lesley. The newly-built house looks gorgeous but will emigrating turn out to be a dream come true or a pile of houmous? The latter looks likely as tensions mount.
