Miriam Margolyes Impossibly Australian on ABC – After a health scare, Miriam embarks on a journey to learn what it takes to grow and adapt to an ever-changing future.
The one-and-only Miriam Margolyes is back with her new ABC series, Miriam Margolyes Impossibly Australian, premiering on Tuesday 9th April at 8pm on ABC TV, with all episodes available to stream on ABC iview.
Following a recent heart operation in London, Miriam is worried about what the future holds. So, ignoring everyone’s advice to “slow down”, she returns to Australia, a place she considers her second home and a country that, for her, has always meant new horizons.
Across the three-part series, she embarks on a personal mission, travelling to Perth, Byron Bay and Broken Hill, meeting communities that are facing change and who can teach her how to adapt to whatever the future holds.
Miriam begins her journey in Perth in search of both her own identity and has an emotional meeting with Freemantle locals Tony and Jim, part of Australia’s Stolen Generation.
She then travels to Byron Bay, where individualism and influencers thrive. Here she meets hippies, learns about Byron’s homelessness crisis and even gets her “yoni” steamed.
Finally, she heads into the outback mining town of Broken Hill, where people are reinventing themselves, carving out new paths against all odds.
Miriam’s previous series’, including Miriam Margolyes Almost Australian, are available to stream now on ABC iview.
