The sun-drenched dream of a new life in Australia continues for the British families who traded post-war Britain for the promise of better homes and brighter futures. “Ten Pound Poms” returns to BBC iPlayer this Sunday for a second run of six episodes, picking up the threads of hope, disappointment, and complicated relationships forged in a land far from home.
As Season 2 begins, Kate finds herself grappling with the repercussions of a past decision, the weight of it casting a shadow over her attempts to build a new life. Meanwhile, the Roberts family, now coping with the joys and trials of parenthood with a new baby, faces a fresh set of challenges. Their pursuit of opportunity in this unfamiliar land takes unexpected turns, testing their resilience and forcing them to adapt yet again.
The series continues to explore the often harsh realities faced by these “Ten Pound Poms.” While the allure of sunny Australia and a fresh start drew them in, the difficulties of adapting to a new culture, forging new connections, and confronting their own internal struggles remain ever-present.
Tune in to BBC One on Sunday, 9 March at 9:00 PM. The series is also available on iPlayer.
