For those who’ve ever wondered what happens after the cameras stop rolling on “A Place In The Sun,” Channel 4 takes a look behind the curtain with “What Happened Next?”. This Wednesday, the series revisits two couples who took the plunge and bought properties abroad, revealing the triumphs, tribulations, and blue shutters that have shaped their lives since.
Laura Hamilton catches up with Gilly and Jane in the Dordogne region of France, seven years after they purchased a traditional stone cottage within their £100k budget. Drawn to the region’s charming chateaux, vineyards, and picturesque towns, the couple’s journey provides a taste of French country living, complete with a brocante treasure hunt.
Meanwhile, Leah Charles-King checks in with Carrie and Steve in Islantilla, southern Spain. Four years after exceeding their budget to acquire a townhouse with “kerb appeal,” Carrie, joined by Leah (while Steve attends to commitments back home), reveals the transformations they’ve made to their Spanish home before enjoying a relaxing boat trip. How have they adapted to life in a new country? Have they managed to create the life they envisioned?
“A Place In The Sun: What Happened Next?” airs Wednesday, March 19th at 6:00 PM on Channel 4.
