The new drama comes from writer Danny Brocklehurst (Brassic<\/a>, Ordinary Lies) and Eleven (Sex Education<\/a>, Red Rose) so you know it\u2019s going to be good. The series follows a group of hopeful Brits as they embark on the lengthy, life-changing journey to Australia in 1956 for a better life, all for the charge of only \u00a310.<\/p>\n The term of \u2018Ten Pound Poms\u2019 was used as a colloquial term to describe British citizens who migrated to Australia and New Zealand after the Second World War.<\/p>\n In the new trailer, we get our first glimpse of the cast<\/a> in action which includes Michelle Keegan<\/a> (Our Girl, Brassic), Faye Marsay (Game of Thrones, Andor<\/a>) and Warren Brown (The Responder<\/a>, Luther). We see them embark on the long journey, with Kate (Keegan) turning to a man saying: \u201cI can\u2019t believe we\u2019re doing this.\u201d<\/p>\n As Terry (Brown) says with his family and suitcases in tow before boarding the ship in the UK, \u201cIt\u2019s the start of our new lives.\u201d But quickly, things aren\u2019t as they appeared to be sold to the Brits making the move.<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n While the weather\u2019s sunnier, the sky\u2019s brighter and kangaroos are bounding about as they drive along to their migrant hostel, they soon find that their living conditions are far from ideal \u2013 with Terry remarking that it looks \u201clike a prisoner of war camp\u201d.<\/p>\n Annie (Marsay) later says that \u201cthey lied to us\u201d, saying: \u201cThey showed us white-washed houses and huge gardens.\u201d But it soon becomes clear that Annie and Terry have come to Australia for more than just sunnier shores, but to possibly save their family as we see Terry break down while looking out at the sea.<\/p>\n Watch the new trailer below.<\/p>\n![\"""\"](\""https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2023\/04\/TenPoundPoms-BBC-poster-44a78df.jpg?quality=90&resize=619%2C413"\" "\\"\"\"\\"\/")
