Still watching #romanceinthehouse on ep 11

Also not kdrama, watching BBC series #TenPoundPoms

But just clicked on something random while I was sorting laundry: old kdrama #MyRunway - silly body swap story. May need to watch for light heartedness as RITH has got to the draggy section ( crisis before a happy ending?)

Ten Pound Poms on BBC/Stan was a bit meh. #MyOpinion #TenPoundPoms

Just finished #TenPoundPoms on iPlayer, and, well, I enjoyed it.

It was really quite silly in places, but ultimately the escapism is alluring. I like the idea of being able to pay a tenner to disappear off to a new life in Australia.

Started #Watching #TenPoundPoms Stan Australia 6 episodes

Don’t know what I was expecting, but this is hard-going.
I often joke about English culture, values etc saying “That’s my gene pool 😉”
… and often observe Australia was built on some really shit values (Imperialist White Supremacist Capitalist Patriarchy etm) … but by golly, too much truth does not make for great entertainment

2 episodes in and i am, in turn, disgusted, angry, distressed, and starting to feel my sense of hope washing away.

So far, many of the “aussie characters” are just arseholes, with no redeeming features.
(“Not all Aussies” but far too many of us are like this, or accept this sort of crap.)

Several of the English immigrant characters have been horrified by this or that, but when it was time to choose between doing the right thing, or taking the easy way out, proved to be gutless bastards. I feel like I’m knee deep in Australian Politicians and some are Prime Minister material. (Is bad behaviour better - or worse - if they actually KNOW better, I wonder.)

And in case you are not sure whether to watch this (I certainly can’t take any more) - some #Spoilers

The series begins with a warning that some content is distressing; two major storylines I’m struggling with involve the death of an Indigenous child (as if indifference is not violence enough); and a woman searching for a child who has been shipped as an orphan under the child immigrant scheme.

I just started watching #TenPoundPoms & gave up in annoyance – subtle it is not

TV Review:
A new series started on the BBC last night, "Ten Pound Poms". How could I resist watching when I was once a ten pound pom myself ?

My parents took part in this scheme in the early 1970s. It cost 10 pounds each for us to emigrate to New Zealand (not Australia as in the TV programme).

We went by air, we didn't live in Nissen huts on arrival and our passports were not taken away. I also don't remember such a degree of racism (but this was 20 years later and in another country, so...)

We were sponsored by someone who wanted to employ my father, but he then decided to retire within the 2 year period and my parents had to buy their way out of a contract to stay in NZ. We stayed in NZ until the early 1980s and I remember liking it a lot.

In NZ in the 1970s you had to book in advance to make an international telephone call and it was very *expensive*. I find it hard to believe that someone could borrow a phone to make an instant international call in the 1950s as shown in the programme.

A "joke" that I still remember hearing:

Q: How do you know when a plane full of poms has arrived at Auckland airport ?

A: The whining doesn't stop when the engines do.
