Buchanan Family
In 2011 the Buchanan family faced a huge decision - whether to leave their family in Scotland to start a new life down under. Angie and Jason had been married for six years, but since the beginning Jason had just one dream for his family. Angie, on the other hand, had very different ideas about their future - she wanted it to stay in Scotland. However, concerns about her children's future had pushed Angie towards considering a move to Australia. One of the main reasons was her first child Jordan. He was born with special needs, and his physical disabilities were so improved in the sunshine in the UK that a warm life down under could improve his life dramatically. But it was Angie's daughter Sophie who was resisting the move the most. She couldn't face living on the other side of the world from her dad. Six years after a trial week, where do the Buchanan family call home?

Amandaland
Following three series of the Merman-produced, BAFTA award-winning series Motherland, a brand-new spin-off, Amandaland, is coming to the BBC, focused on Amanda.
Post her divorce, Amanda has had to downsize and up sticks to South Harlesden, or as the Estate Agent calls it SoHa (definitely not the area around Wormwood Scrubs prison).
With both Manus and Georgie now at secondary school, Amanda has to try and get her head around raising teenagers, dealing with modern motherhood horrors like teenage drinking, fake Instagram accounts and eco anxiety. Not even a woman as certain of her parenting as Amanda can deal with these nightmares alone.
Then there's Amanda's mother Felicity who is constantly around, and completely in denial that she is, in fact, lonely. Theirs is a slightly unhealthy co-dependent relationship based on backhanded compliments and veiled snipes about her new home.
After a brief spell of freedom, Anne is sucked back into being Amanda's minion to help her navigate the social scene with the other parents at the children's new school. Thank God for Anne.
