Poldark: Series 2

Starring: Ellis, Robin, Townsend, Jill, Wymark, Jane

A sensation on PBS and based on the beloved novels by Winston Graham, POLDARK tells the story of a gallant English army officer who finds the trials and travails at home every bit as perilous as what he faced in war. The much-loved miniseries follows two rival families whose fortunes cross in an unforgettable saga. Captain Ross Poldark (Robin Ellis, The Good Soldier) returns in this acclaimed drama set against the spectacular backdrop of Cornwall and a time of upheaval in English history. Discharged from his regiment with marsh fever, Ross finds his home life in turmoil and relations with his wife, Demelza (Angharad Rees, Close to Home), often strained. The social order is in similar flux, with threats on all sides-from rioters and robbers, the hungry poor, and the ruthlessly ambitious George Warleggan (Ralph Bates, Dear John), Ross's sworn enemy. The second series also stars Jane Wymark (Midsomer Murders), Kevin McNally (Pirates of the Caribbean), and Judy Geeson (Mad About You).

Customer Reviews

The 1975 Poldark

This is good & is more like a live play as were most PBS series back then. But Robin Ellis as Poldark & the story are so great, you quickly no longer notice the inferior filming quality that was typical for that time. Its great watching, awesome story.
