follows
a group of Brits as they 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.At the heart of the drama are
Annie (Faye Marsay) and Terry Roberts (Warren Brown).
They try to make the best of the situation for their family, but the
poor living conditions at the migrant
hostel and local attitudes towards
immigrants test them in ways they couldn’t have imagined.
They aren’t the only people at the hostel avoiding the truth. Kate (Michelle Keegan) is a young nurse who arrives without her fiancé 
and will do whatever it takes to try and rewrite her devastating past. Bill (Leon Ford)
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. Teenager Stevie (Declan Coyle) comes from a troubled background and hopes to use this new adventure to escape his oppressive father. Meanwhile, Ron (Rob Collins), an Indigenous Australian war veteran, struggles with feeling like an outsider in his own country.

I'm a sucker for anything Australia. Hope it's as good as A Place to Call Home that took place in the same timeframe.
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed, although I am not overly impressed with the cast.
Delete£10 for a better life...that's just too cheap to be true...that's the biz of selling hope and dream.
ReplyDeleteBut I bet their kids and grandkids are happy they moved Down Under.
DeleteFor $10 I'd take my chances at living a better life in Australia, even if I had to struggle a little.
ReplyDeleteI am sure they were fine after the initial struggles.
