Are cosmetic treatments RUINING period drama?Viewers of 10 Pound Poms 'struggling to enjoy series'

Period dramas are supposed to transport viewers to a different time period because of their very nature. However, although the series has risen in popularity late, there is one aspect of the drama that seems to be firmly embedded in the 21st century: the actors' cosmetically enhanced faces. The latest series ten Pound Poms, starring Michelle Keegan and Faye Marsay, began airing on BBC One earlier this month. The show follows a group of fictional British people who took advantage of the Australian government's offer to transport them around the world and provide subsidised housing and jobs for them for £10 per person. However, although critics have lauded Michelle's'slinky and clandestine' appearance as nurse Kate, viewers have admitted that due to the actress's highly modern appearance, they are having trouble integrating themselves into the show.

Ten Pound Poms, a literary British set in 1956, follows a group of fictional British characters who took advantage of the Australian government's offer to move them to Oz and provide subsidised housing and jobs for them. The Assisted Passage Migration Scheme operated in various stages from 1945 to 1972, enticing more than a million and a half Britons who could apply for Australian citizenship after a year. If they wanted to return to Britain within two years, they would have to pay their £10 back and finance their own journey (roughly £6,000 in today's money). Set in 1956, Ten Pound Poms follows a bunch of fictional Brits who took advantage of the Australian government's offer to transport them to Oz and provide subsidised housing and jobs for them for £10 per person

Stan has dropped a dazzling trailer for its latest drama series Ten Pound Poms. The limited series dramatizes the pioneering Assisted Passage Migration Scheme, which brought more than a million residents to Australia after World War II. Faye Marsay (Game of Thrones) and Warren Brown (Luther) appear in the preview. They're a married couple who came to Australia in 1956 after paying less than $10 for their passage out. The Australian government promises them a better house, improved job prospects, and a higher quality of life Down Under, far away from dreary postwar England.
