Ten Pound Poms

In dreary postwar Manchester, Annie Roberts is at her wits end when husband Terry spends all his wages down the pub. Desperate for a better life for her children, Annie responds to an emigration advert that promises Brits a prosperous new life in Australia for a tenner. Expecting whitewashed houses and sun-soaked adventures, the Roberts family arrive in Sydney to find life down under isn't quite what they've been sold.

A haunted Terry retraces his steps from the night before. Somewhat reassured that all is okay, he returns to his boisterous family. Meanwhile, Kate gets a lead on Michael's whereabouts, and her next-door neighbour Bill goes to extreme lengths to get himself a bit of extra cash.

Annie is furious when Terry stays out all night. To give him a taste of his own medicine, Annie leaves Terry home alone with the kids and bonds with Kate on a cross-country road trip. With their mum miles away, and their dad preoccupied by his demons, Peter and Pattie run wild.
