Series 13 premiered on 3 September 2012 on BBC One, followed by a further series each year Series 20 began in late 2019. Series 12 consisted of 75 shows and was broadcast from November 2011 on BBC Two with new title and credit sequences. The format was modified again: the number of properties the couples viewed was reduced to three, with the third being the mystery house. Series 9 began on 23 February in a new slot of 15:45 on BBC Two. Series 6 aired in August 2007 on BBC One, while series 7 and 8 aired back-to-back in autumn 2008. Added to the show is a taster day in which the contributors sample local delights, gain historical knowledge and visit local attractions to get a feel for the area they are planning to move to. The mystery house usually has something unique about it that will either make the contributors fall in love with or hate it. Contributors now view all four houses, of which the fourth is the mystery house. The format of the show changed in series 6 to accommodate viewer demand to see more houses and more local information. Series 3 included a Catherine Gee episode starring actor/writer Ian Murphy, who was relocating from Nottingham to Lancaster. In addition, there is also the option of choosing the presenter's 'mystery house'. The family must then choose two out of the four houses to go and view for themselves. It is then the job of the show's presenter to find four houses for the family to view via laptop computer in their own homes. Produced by Boundless, part of Fremantle UK, and aired from 2002, the premise of the show is that a person/family wishes to relocate from their current city home to a more peaceful and rural retreat. The short version usually airs on BBC One weekday afternoons (usually in the 15:00 slot) and the longer on BBC One weekdays at 10:00 or BBC Two evenings at 19:00. There are two versions of each episode produced - a shorter 45-minute version with only 3 houses shown and a longer 60-minute version. At the end of each episode, the buyers choose one of the options. Episodes also feature information regarding the towns and villages presented, for example local industry and history. After they inspect each house, the host asks the buyers to guess the seller's asking price.
