Ten Pound Poms 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.

One thing they did touch on was the Orphans from the UK and how they were scattered to different countries. The child abuse scandal of the British children sent abroad during the 1950's. Not sure how many countries were involved? Remember their stories. It is a wonder the human species survived this far.
That was VERY interesting and, as Leon Kennedy said, "really worth watching"!
Hope there will be a Season 2...
It's really worth watching!!
