Michelle Keegan’s Ten Pound Poms viewers as point out plot hole

Viewers of Ten Pound Poms called out a plot hole as it aired for the second time during the third episode of the series on Sunday.

The series follows a bunch of fictional Brits who took advantage of the Australian government’s offer to transport them to Australia and provide subsidised housing and jobs for them for £10 per person.

As she series moves on, the trials and tribulations of the cast are captured as they struggle to settle in to life Down Under.

And this week, viewers noticed something unusual in the detail of the episode as Michelle Keegan’s character Kate made a phone call back to the UK, with the mysterious nurse making a direction connection and the call quality being crystal clear despite the series being set in the 1950s.

Taking to Twitter to express their surprise, one viewer wrote: ‘There is no way she would have called England through an operator and whispered during the call. She would have been shouting down the phone because the quality of the calls was poor. #TenPoundPoms.’

While someone else shared: ‘The weekly direct phone call from rural Australia to 1950s England on #TenPoundPoms. It’ll be Facebook Messenger next.’

Another surprised viewer posted: ‘The line to England was b***dy good back then!’

Questioning other parts of the instalment, one person wrote: ‘Enjoyable ep tonight: surprising she could go on the 1-2 day orphanage trip without telling her boss at the shop; how was the petrol for the trip afforded; and I think the actor who played the Priest played the gyro-captain in Mad Max 2 and the pilot in Mad Max 3.’

While someone else questioned: ‘I’m not sure why some are slating this drama. I think it’s really watchable with good storylines drawing you in #TenPoundPoms.

‘#TenPoundPoms Is really good.Well written and acted.’ posted another person.

It comes after Michelle revealed what she loved most about starring in the gripping Ten Pound Poms.

The Manchester native, 35, said it was a combination of a great script, her engaging character and filming in beautiful Sydney that convinced her to sign on.

‘Ten Pound Poms will definitely take the audience on a journey. I think for me and the viewers, the script is like a history lesson,’ she told MailOnline.

‘I absolutely loved filming in Australia. In a way, my journey to Australia has parallels with my character’s. I came on my own which was quite scary, but it’s been such an incredible experience.’

Michelle added even though it was at times challenging appearing in the period drama she absolutely adored the experience.

‘It’s been really challenging for me, and I’ve loved every minute. The series is set in the fifties, and it’s the first time I’ve appeared in a period drama, it’s something I have always wanted to do,’ she explained.

Michelle plays nurse Kate Thorne in the show.

The series dramatises the famous Assisted Passage Migration Scheme, which brought more than a million people to Australia after World War II.

The Coronation Street star also discussed what she loved about the country: ‘The Australian actors are so brilliant and they bring a different energy to the set.’

The series co-stars veteran Australian actors Stephen Curry, David Field and Emma Hamilton, as well as newcomer Hattie Hook.

‘The thing I miss most about Australia is the people. Everyone out there is so lovely, friendly and welcoming. The crew really got on and it was such a nice working environment – and of course I miss the cast,’ Michelle said.
