Poldark
Poldark has to be one of the All time greats, in rhythm with typical BBC quality of Drama and Romance coupled with a extraordinary Period setting. Its set in the Cornish tin and copper minning days of late 1700,s and is based around a feuding family which has captured the hearts of a dedicated quality audience ever since its opening day. In total it is 8 VHS tapes consisting of 24 episodes and unlike some, every one leaves you wanting to see more.This compelling Drama Romance is a must for any collection.

BBC Period drama at its best!!!
The story is set in Cornwall in the late 1700's. It revolves around Ross Poldark and his feud with George Warleggan. It starts off with Ross returning home from the New World to find his beloved Elizabeth, after receiving false repots of Ross's death, is now engaged to his cousin Francis. Elizabeth is loved by 3 men, Ross, Francis & George Warleggan!! Along comes Demelza who marries Ross and he discovers a deep love for her. Ross although gentry understands the needs of the poor and always does his best to help them. The affection is returned. The story follows Ross in his adventures whilst he struggles to keep his head above water and tame his rebellious nature! The BBC kept fairly close to Winston Graham's books and all the cast play their parts superbly!!! I highly recommend it.
