A controversial BBC drama has been delayed after only its second series, sparking debate about its authenticity and relevance. The show Ten Pound Poms, which follows the fictional Australian government’s Assisted Passage Migration Scheme from 1945 to 1982, has been canceled after only its second episode. The programme, starring Michelle Keegan, Hattie Hook, Faye Marsay, and Warren Brown, has gained cult acclaim in both Australia and the UK. However, after only its second episode, the BBC confirmed a third series will not be released. 'It's been a joy to bring the story of the Ten Pound Poms back to life for BBC viewers and we're truly grateful to Danny Brocklehurst, Eleven and all the cast and crew who have worked on the series,' the broadcaster said. The decision comes just six months after its second series launched to much fanfare. Fans were full of praise for the new series, with some binge-watching all six episodes within hours of its debut. One person wrote: 'I missed this show, so good to have it back! The cast are incredibly talented.' Another added: 'Watched it all, best show I love it.' A third fan praised: 'Watched the first episode on S2. Brilliant.'
