8pm - 800 WORDS - Comedy/Drama - Recently widowed Sydney newspaper columnist George Turner sets out to make a fresh start with his teenage children by moving to the tiny New Zealand town of Weld.

Season 1 saw the Turners struggling to fit in. Though they’ve become more accepted by the locals, in Season 2 there are still plenty of problems for George to face, including finding a real job and, potentially, new love. George and Arlo implement a cunning plan to bring Shay back from Sydney. George and Jan's new relationship lurches towards the rocks, and the Weld locals brace themselves for the carnage of Guy Fawkes Night.
