New BBC One drama, Ten Pounds Poms, stars an impressive cast, including Michelle Keegan, and is set to hit screens in May 2023. The BBC has now announced an air date and shared a first-look trailer for the new drama.
The six-part series follows a group of Brits as they leave dreary post-war Britain in 1956 to embark on a life-altering adventure on the other side of the world. For only a tenner, they have been promised a better house, better job prospects and a better quality of life by the sea in sun-soaked Australia.
But life Down Under isn’t exactly the idyllic dream the new arrivals have been promised. Struggling with their new identity as immigrants, we follow their triumphs and pitfalls as they adapt to a new life in a new country, far from Britain and familiarity.
