1975 Poldark robin ellis

Like watching a live play as was typical PBS series tv in 1975. The story is great, very engaging with Robin Ellis as the hero Ross Poldark(who also appears several times in the 2015-19 Poldark series as a magistrate). I loved this & was glad to find it available here. Great viewing for sure!
