Is Anyone Watching £1 Poms, Bbc1 9Pm

What did you think?

[1ozzy]

I'd like to watch the program but it's only available on pay TV downunder and I'm not paying for a subscription just to watch one show.

My parents were 10 quid tourists, mum struggled for quite a few years acclimatising to both the weather and being away from her family.

Dad was happy making a new life.

I was very young at the time, christened aboard the ship on the way here.
Church Of The High Seas?

I suspect the early days were quite challenging for my parents but I'm happy to be here.

Australia is the only country I know and I have no desire to reconnect with my roots.

I'm happy here.

Ozzy/ The programme is on YouTube if you have that in Oz.

[1ozzy]

Thanks for the heads up.

YouTube it is, we are reasonably modern down here;-)

As I said yesterday there were a few bits that I could say yes it was like that. Our experience was similar to 1ozzy's except that my mother couldn't get used to it over there so we ended up coming back.

It seemed to be more difficult for mothers than fathers Sheddy.
But, I haven't watched the show yet.

Some neighbours across the street, were about to start a new life there, but changed their minds when they realised how far the the nearest hospital was away.
I shall watch with interest.

[1ozzy]

That would depend upon their choice of dwelling Chip.

Funnei webs in the dunny put me off a tad

After a few days of being there we had to start school being of that age. What we found strange at the time was when we were told about the school uniform was that shoes were not part of it and they were optional.

[1ozzy]

I've yet to have that happen, what a sheltered life I've had.

In answer to your question Maydup I started to watch it and gave up after the first episode. I just found it too dark and depressing. It WAS probably true to life but enjoyable entertainment it wasn't.

My Aussie cousin has tried to watch the episode on Youtube, but, despite cheating (saying he was in London ! ) he could not access it.

I loved it and watched it back to back on the iplayer
