News about Warren Brown

CHRISTOPHER STEVENS (BBC1): If you're curious about the Ten Pound Poms (BBC1), it'd be appropriate to infer a comparison to the charity shop budget of this story. Characters were moaning over the Australian heat, but they were shivering in their threadbare cotton dresses and frayed trousers. The sky was overcast, the atmosphere was damp, and a group of actors rushed over a sand dune and into the sea was all they could do not to shriek with the cold. This was more Bognor than Bondi. Most scenes were shot on studio sets so cramped that the camera couldn't move to mask the lack of Australian sunshine. This brought a soap operatic feel to a story that already relied on stereotypes and stock characters: the teenage girl hiding her pregnancy. In 1956, Warren Brown (right) plays Terry, a shattered World War II soldier who books £10 passages Down Under with all his family for a new life.

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.
