Ten Pound Poms is BBC's new Sunday night drama and viewers have been gripped since it made its debut on May 14. The six-part series starring Michelle Keegan follows a group of Brits as they leave dreary post-war Britain in 1956 to embark on a life-altering adventure in Australia
Michelle plays Kate, a nurse who has left the UK to go to Australia for a very different reason from the rest of the characters. Speaking of her character, Michelle explained: "She has an emotional connection to the country and we find out as the show progresses what her intentions are and why she has gone there."
She stars alongside an incredible cast list, including Warren Brown and Faye Marsay, as well as Hattie Hook, Finn Treacy, Leon Ford and Rob Collins and many more. Ten Pound Poms is created by BAFTA-winning Danny Brocklehurst (Brassic, Ordinary Lies) and produced by Eleven, the team behind the award-winning and Welsh-filmed Sex Education.
