Michelle Keegan in Ten Pound Poms: What is it about?
Ten Pound Poms – a term used in Australia and New Zealand to describe British citizens who migrated to Australia and New Zealand after the Second World War – follows a group of Brits who do just that.
For only a tenner, they are promised a better house, a better job and a better quality of life by the sea and sun on the other side of the world.
But life in Australia isn’t exactly the dream that they were promised. As they struggle to deal with their new identity as immigrants, they face triumphs and pitfalls far from Britain and familiarity.
The drama unfolds in a migrant hostel, where local attitudes towards immigrants are rough.
Annie and Terry Roberts attempt to make the best situation for their family, whilst struggling with the poor living conditions.
