Compare Your Life (2013 - 2013)

Pete and Iney want to start a family business to allow them to spend more quality time with their two children, Archie and Rhianna. With the couple being torn between a new life in France and a venture closer to home in the UK, former Confused.com CEO Carlton Hood offers the couple a trial of three potential new lives. Carlton's search leads them to an exciting business opportunity overseas in Western France, a village post office in the rolling countryside of Worcestershire, and an exciting hotel franchise for animal-lovers.

Hampshire couple Fiona and Jonathan ask Carlton to find them a rural business in Wales. After 20 years as a stay-at-home mum, Fiona is looking for a new sense of purpose while Jonathan wants to leave behind long hours and commuting. The search throws up a smallholding with dog kennels in Pembrokeshire and four low-maintenance holiday cottages in Carmarthenshire. However, an unexpected event changes the family's circumstances and Carlton is forced to have a rethink.
