New trailer and images have dropped for BBC series Ten Pound Poms, starring Michelle Keegan

A new trailer and images have been dropped for the BBC’s Ten Pound Poms, starring Michelle Keegan.

The Stockport-born actress has been filming Down Under for the drama, which will return for a second series on Sunday 9 March.

Ten Pound Poms comes from the same BAFTA-award winning writer as Fool Me Once and Brassic, Danny Brocklehurst, and follows a group of Brits leaving post-war Britain to embark on a life-changing adventure on the other side of the world.

As we head into season two of the BBC drama, it’s now 1957 and our stars are trying to make their Australian dream a reality.

The cast includes Michelle Keegan as nurse Kate Thorne, who’s trying to forge a future for herself; Faye Marsay and Warren Brown as Annie and Terry Roberts.

A new trailer and first-look images for the return of the BBC series have been released this week ahead of its return to our screens next week.

In the trailer, we see Robbie (Nic English) share a tender moment with Kate as they rekindle their friendship, as well as meeting a new character for the first time.

All episodes will be available on BBC iPlayer from 6am, with weekly BBC One transmission from 8pm on Sunday 9 March.

It’s made by Eleven (Sex Education, Red Rose) for BBC iPlayer and BBC One in a co-production with Stan, which airs the series in Australia.
