whateverfour20110 I did like this series when it first aired. I never understand why no one ever mentions Jill Townsend. I remember liking her very much when she was in the western series Cimarron Strip. She played a young girl named Dulcey (early lust). I later enjoyed the actress who played Elizabeth in the Poldark series. It wasn't until later that I realized that it was Duclie matured. Jill appeared in a few movies, TV spots and then nothing. Her last movie was the Awakening. I remember enjoying seeing her in that movie. No, she seems to have disappeared off the media's radar screen. Anyway, here is a 10 vote for Jill Townsend. I wish she would return to the screen.

sarahsmith-2 I have been watching this series since I was a child and absolutely love it. The actors are wonderful and the drama keeps going. You really learn to love these people, or hate them as the case may be. Some drama is not appropriate for children. I rent it from my local library once a year. My husband can even stand this one. There is a lot of character development as the people mature and they diverge through several different groups and couples. You get to see love develop and change through many different relationships. I only wish they would hurry up and provide this series on DVD, one and two. You need to watch the whole series, right now it is 12 episodes of 2 hours each. I have been requesting it for years now. A definite worth the time.

whoster69 Poldark originally was broadcast here in the US on Masterpiece Theater. While many Masterpiece Theater Shows have been excellent, Poldark stood out as probably the best of any I have ever seen. It was amazing. A story about a man just returning from the revolutionary war to find his home and estate in ruins, the girl he loved gone and many challenges to face. Well acted and well directed this story will keep you guessing and wanting more. I can't recommend this one enough. I hope they put it on DVD soon so I can see it again and again.Note: There is also another Poldark series, Poldark II, which is a continuation of this series and tells you the rest of the story.

lancaster-1 Brilliant story lines with excellent sub plots, fantastic characters, sublime acting.Possibly my all time favourite which prompted me to read all the Poldark novels by Whinston Graham. Reading books after I have seen the dramatisation is not something I usually do.
