New drama Ten Pound Poms has arrived on BBC One – here’s a full run down of who’s on the cast.
The six-part series, created by BAFTA-winning Danny Brocklehurst (Brassic, Ordinary Lies), follows a group of Brits who move to Australia in the 1950s.
A teaser shares: “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.”
