Some 30,000 Brits head for Australia each year - just a fraction of the one million who gambled on the ten-pound assisted-passage scheme through the 1950s and 60s, in one of the largest planned migrations of the 20th century. One of the conditions of the deal was that they stay for a minimum of two years. This insightful film charts the lives of nine of the emigrants. 6/6.
