Poldark (2015) on PBS
 

Have you seen the BBC's Poldark? PBS has shown the first two episodes with several more to go.

Set in Cornwall, it is about a member of the aristocracy who returns to
England after fighting in the Revolutionary War.
His estate and finances are in disarray and his girl is engaged to another man.


Ross Poldark is played by Aidan Turner.

Hi Mari,

I mentioned this coming to your PBS on another Thread a while back. A true Classic made over with style for the modern age. When we do tv right, we do Quality.

Hi, Dave,

When British t.v. gets here to the U.S., it is definitely high quality.

Recently, I was remembering Only Fools and Horses -- a different kind of fun:

My Godmother used to watch it with me. :D:D:D

I definitely need to watch to this. Love those kinds of stories.

Hi Mari,

If you liked 'Only Fools' try to find Rock and Chips. This was the John Sullivan written prequel showing Del Boy and his mates as 15 year olds. Only 3 Specials were made, about an hour long if I remember right.

Some viewers liked it, others criticised it, I enjoyed the story and the acting of the young Del Boy in particular. Nicolas Lyndhurst plays a different character (obviously).
