This six-part series, then, sets out to “follow their triumphs and pitfalls as they adapt to a new life in a new country, far from Britain and familiarity”, promises the synopsis.

Who stars in Ten Pound Poms?

Faye Marsay (Game Of Thrones; Black Mirror) and Warren Brown (The Responder; Luther) lead the cast of this new drama as Annie and Terry Roberts, a married couple who are desperate to make the best of their new Australian home for their family.

Our Girl’s Michelle Keegan, meanwhile, steps into the shoes of Kate, a young nurse who arrives without her fiancé and will do whatever it takes to try and rewrite her devastating past.

They are joined by:

Leon Ford as Bill, a man who has lost his family business back home and is so desperate to prove he’s living the Australian dream that he’ll stop at nothing in order to get a lifestyle he can’t sustain.
Declan Coyle as Stevie, a teen from a troubled background who hopes to use this new adventure to escape his oppressive father.
Rob Collins as Ron, an Indigenous Australian war veteran who struggles with feeling like an outsider in his own country.

David Field, Stephen Curry, Hattie Hook, Finn Treacy and Emma Hamilton round out the cast.
