Ten Pound Poms is the latest period drama from BBC One – and episode 1 had us reeled in hook, line and sinker.
There’s mystery, romance, and tension, all set against the background of a very real and troubled period in British/Australian history.
The drama follows British immigrants as they travel to Australia in the post-war 1950s in the hope of a better life, but find the reality doesn’t match the brochures. Far from it, in fact.
They are treated like second-class citizens, forced to do the work that Australians won’t, and treated worst than dingos (sound familiar?).
Here’s the burning questions we have after watching episode 1 of Ten Pound Poms on BBC One (Sunday, May 14, 2023).
