Rating: - PLEASE RELEASE POLDARK S SERIES ON DVD!
I had the VHS tapes of Poldark I and Poldark 2, but gave them away as I no longer have a VCR and I was sure they would be made available on DVD sooner or later. Woe is me, that hasn't happened yet and I'm hysterical now that I don't have the tapes because they would be worth buying a VCR to see them. There must be others like me who would relish seeing this fabulous series on DVD. Please, whoever's in charge of such things, release this series on DVD and it will sell like hotcakes.

This was one of the most popular series on Masterpiece Theatre. Why Why is the studio not bringing this out on DVD. The videos are available, but are very expensive. The first Masterpiece series, The First Churchills is out on DVD and I love that one, why not this one. Please everybody type in your information to Amazon to be contacted when the DVD's are out. Amazon states this is a vote for the product. We can let the studio know we Want ALL OF BOTH Poldark series out on DVD ASAP.

I was 18 when this series first appeared on Masterpiece Theatre in 1977. We didn't have VCR's back then, but so many of the scenes from this program were so firmly etched in my mind I could never forget them. I also never forgot the name Demelza, and have used it as a screen name wherever I register, like on Amazon!
I can't be objective writing a review for this show because I love it so much. But I had not seen it for 30 years and now my local PBS station has started to reshow it. Believing it may not have aged as well as I remembered, I started watching with trepidation. I was absolutely amazed at the first episode. The characters were just as charming as I remembered. The dialogue just as crisp, and the anticipation of the next episode just as excruciating as I remember. I finally did it, I bought a used copy of the series. I devoured it in just a few days. Now I await the second series coming to my doorstep.
If you like period dramas at all, you will be swept away with this one.
Rating: - Wonderful Series
I watched the Poldark series when it was broadcast on PBS in the 70s. My boyfriend, who is an airline pilot, found a couple of the series sets on DVD while in Hong Kong, but had to buy a little DVD player over there in order to play them as they are not configured to play on the DVD players here in U.S. I don't have this particular set being sold on Amazon, but just wanted to put in my two cents that this is a fantastic series, great story, wonderful actors. And I just discovered this past Saturday (9/1) that the University of North Carolina (UNC) PBS station is broadcasting it starting at 10:00 p.m. (I'm in Virginia Beach) starting with the first episode on that night. Their lead up was "First time in decades"... it's been broadcast. Can't tell you how thrilled I was! And I may likely buy this set on Amazon as well.
Rating: - An Excellent BBC Miniseries
The Poldark miniseries is an excellent BBC adaptation of the first four novels by Winston Graham, published in the 1950's.
Created for the BBC in mid-1970, it was clearly made for television. The production budget was adequate but not lavish. Interiors were obviously video taped on a sound stage. But, despite those drawbacks it remains a compelling story.
Winston Graham set his novel just a bit earlier than the writing of Jane Austen, the late eighteenth century. As the story opens the protagonist, Ross Poldark, from a prominent Cornish family, has just returned from fighting the colonists in America. But reports that he has died proceeded his return and Ross learns, his father has, in fact, died leaving the family estate in near financial ruin. Finally, believing that Ross, has died in the war, Elizabeth, the woman he had courted before his departure, has engaged herself to a cousin of Ross Poldark. All of that in the opening minutes of the first episode.
This is an excellent miniseries for fans of the genre. Unfortunately, it is no longer available new but you can still buy the VHS version used on Amazon.com or borrow it from the library. I don't believe that it has ever been released in DVD format for North America.
