The debut series peaked with 9.4 million viewers across TV and iPlayer, generating phenomenal media interest and devotion from viewers which culminated in it winning the Radio Times Audience Award at this year’s BAFTAs. Turner returns as hero Ross Poldark and Tomlinson as his wife Demelza. This series introduces other key characters including John Nettles (Midsomer Murders) as Ray Penvenen, one of the county's wealthiest landowners, and Gabriella Wilde (Endless Love) as his niece Caroline Penvenen, a beautiful and manipulative heiress. Hugh Skinner (W1A) plays Unwin Trevaunance, a prospective MP who hopes that Caroline (and her fortune) will consent to marry him. But does Caroline's heart lie elsewhere? Also back for the second series are Heida Reed as Elizabeth, Kyle Soller as Francis, Ruby Bentall as Verity, Jack Farthing as George Warleggan and Luke Norris as Dr Dwight Enys. Beatie Edney and Phil Davis return as Jud Paynter and his wife Prudie and Robin Ellis reprises his role as the Reverend Halse. 1790 and there is riot and revolution in the air. Ross Poldark (Aidan Turner) must fight for his freedom when George Warleggan (Jack Farthing) tries to have him hanged as a revolutionary. While Francis (Kyle Soller) and Elizabeth (Heida Reed) watch on in horror, can Demelza (Eleanor Tomlinson) save Ross from himself? Crippled by debts, Ross and Francis try to heal old wounds by joining forces in a new mine free of the Warleggans. Ross and Elizabeth are thrown together by unforeseen circumstances, and Ross risks everything in a desperate smuggling venture. Meanwhile, the fate of the Poldarks is tied to Dr Dwight Enys (Luke Norris) and young heiress Caroline Penvenen (Gabriella Wilde) in unexpected ways. The Poldark clan must learn to settle their differences once and for all, but at what cost? Writer Debbie Horsfield hints at what the new series has in store: ‘The stakes are higher, the rivalries keener and characters go to greater lengths to get what they 2 want. Ross continues to be a man of action, with his usual recklessness and headstrong risk-taking, but Demelza is no less proactive, often stepping in to save the day when Ross has overstepped the mark.’ Executive producer Karen Thrussell continues: ‘Series two feels darker both in tone and content. Ross starts the series with the threat of the hangman's noose and makes some risky decisions that threaten his and Demelza’s way of life at Nampara. ‘Once again, Debbie Horsfield’s unique talent has combined exciting dramatic events with exquisite character development. We cover book three and half of book four from Winston Graham’s POLDARK saga in series two and the content is so explosive that we needed to expand the run to 10 episodes. ‘We shot this series throughout the autumn and winter months which created a very different look and feel for the drama and some dramas of its own especially when storms hit our set on the rugged Cornish coast and filming had to be suspended for a day. ‘Our cast from series one returned to filming elated by the fantastic response we had for the first series and are joined by a rich array of new characters played by John Nettles, Gabriella Wilde and Hugh Skinner who each bring their own twists to the plot.’ POLDARK is filmed on location in Cornwall and the Bristol area and at The Bottle Yard Studios. A third series will go into production this autumn. Based on the novels by Winston Graham, POLDARK is a 10-part series written and created for television by Debbie Horsfield , (Cutting It, The Riff Raff Element) and directed by Will Sinclair (Vera, Misfits), Charles Palmer (Death in Paradise, Lark Rise to Candleford) and Richard Senior (Doctor Who, Our Girl). It is produced by Margaret Mitchell (Vera, Goodbye Mr. Chips, Poirot) and the executive producers are Debbie Horsfield, Karen Thrussell and Damien Timmer for Mammoth Screen and Elizabeth Kilgarriff for the BBC. 3 Character Descriptions ROSS POLDARK (Aidan Turner) Ross’ dogged belief in justice and morality puts him at odds with the class into which he was born and, as a champion of the common people, threatens to become his undoing. DEMELZA POLDARK (Eleanor Tomlinson) Demelza assumed her position as Ross’ wife with a grace few foresaw but a niggling sense of lowliness haunts her. She finds herself wrestling to not only save Ross from himself, but to embrace her own independence. GEORGE WARLEGGAN (Jack Farthing) George will stop at nothing to increase the might of his family’s banking empire, believing that with power comes the key to increased social respectability - something he desperately craves. ELIZABETH POLDARK née CHYNOWETH (Heida Reed) Elizabeth finds herself torn between the present and what could have been. As the Poldarks stand divided, Elizabeth seeks to unify them but finds her loyalties called into question along the way. FRANCIS POLDARK (Kyle Soller) Francis is a good man, but one plagued by self-pity and poor decisions. Jealously belying his true nature has fuelled Francis into actions at odds with his loyalties, actions he now seeks to rectify. VERITY BLAMEY (Ruby Bentall) Verity broke from her role as a dutiful daughter to marry Captain Andrew Blamey, a man with a dark past. Though happily in love, she yearns for familial reunion. DWIGHT ENYS (Luke Norris) Dwight is motivated by a fierce morality and strong principles. His mettle is tested, however, by the arrival of Caroline Penvenen - a woman who pulls Dwight from the familiar and into the thrilling. AUNT AGATHA (Caroline Blakiston) As wily and cunning as ever, Agatha sees more than she lets on and hears more than anyone would believe. JUD (Phil Davis) and PRUDIE PAYNTER (Beatie Edney) As Ross’ servants and his father’s before him, Jud and Prudie take liberties like it were part of the job. For all the trouble they cause, however, they are among the most loyal people in Ross’ life. CAROLINE PENVENEN (Gabriella Wilde) 4 Caroline is a complete minx: rich, beautiful and clever. She delights in tormenting people, but underneath there is a sweet, generous and complex heart. RAY PENVENEN (John Nettles) Caroline's kindly, sweet-toothed old Uncle who has raised her since she was orphaned. Ray is one of the county's most wealthy and powerful gentlemen. UNWIN TREVAUNANCE (Hugh Skinner) Unwin dreams of becoming an MP only so that Caroline (and her fortune) will consent to marry him. He is obsessed with the latest fashions and not the sharpest tool in the box. TANKARD (Sebastian Armesto) Tankard is the Warleggan’s iron fist in legal matters, helping navigate the law to identify areas George can exploit for his gain. CARY WARLEGGAN (Pip Torrens) George’s uncle, Cary is shrewd and determined

  • Pass Through Poldark (1783-1820)
    My Ivers! A pass through Poldark (1783-1820) During the last quarter of 2017 I read Winston Graham's twelve Poldark novels, Ross to Bella, 1783 to 1820, in series order. Though I'd read all of them individually before, this was my first non-stop voyage through Poldark complete. Below are some observations: Abbreviations: RP = Ross Poldark, D = Demelza, JP = Jeremy Poldark, W = Warleggan, BM = The Black Moon, FS = The Four Swans, AT = The Angry Tide, SS = The Stranger from the Sea, MD = The Miller's Dance, LC = The Loving Cup, TS = The Twisted Sword and BP = Bella Poldark. RP 2.4 = Ross Poldark Book Two, Chapter Four etc. Though Poldark complete comprises twelve novels published between December 1945 and May 2002, it is perhaps more useful to look on the saga as having been conceived and delivered in five (arguably four) distinct and readily discernible tranches: (1) A post-war quartet (RP, D, JP, W), plotted as a single cohesive entity (WG called it "one very long novel which broke off at convenient points"1) covering the period February 1783 to Christmas 1793 and published between December 1945 and November 1953. (2) A '70s trilogy (BM, FS, AT), again plotted as a single entity, covering the period February 1794 to Christmas 1799 and published between October 1973 and September 1977. (3) An '80s trilogy (SS, MD, LC), again plotted as a single entity, covering the period June 1810 to January 1815 and published between October 1981 and October 1984. (4) A 1990 standalone novel (TS), covering the period January to December 1815 and published on 8 August 1990.

Fortunately, the book still centers around Ross and Demelza, with Dr. Dwight Enys continuing as a very important secondary story line.

  • Poldark, Season 2
    No one can resist Ross Poldark! Poldark, Season 2 Aidan Turner stars as the courageous Cornishman in an all-new new season SPECIAL TWO-HOUR PREMIERE Sunday, September 25, 2016 at 8PM ET On MASTERPIECE Continues Sunday, October 2, 2016 at 9pm ET Sundays, October 16 – November 27, 2016 at 9pm ET* *Pre-empted on Sunday, October 9, 2016 Neither pestilence, starvation, nor betrayal can stop Ross Poldark from fighting for justice in his native Cornwall. Aidan Turner (The Hobbit) returns as the ex-officer, class warrior, lover, and mining entrepreneur, called by The New York Times “the noblest, hottest, most down-to-earth hero.” Poldark, Season 2 airs on MASTERPIECE in nine gripping new episodes, this fall on PBS. Also back is co-star Eleanor Tomlinson (Death Comes to Pemberley), playing Demelza, the miner’s daughter who is Ross’ equal in passion, wit, and daring—which is, of course, why they marry. Critics gave a warm reception to Poldark’s first season, withVariety writing that “MASTERPIECE has unearthed another gem,” and Entertainment Weekly urging readers to “make an appointment with your TV to tune into Poldark.” The Philadelphia Inquirer marveled at the title character: “He’s a cross between Robin Hood and Batman.” The returning cast includes Heida Reed (One Day) as Ross’ first love, Elizabeth, who broke his heart by marrying his duplicitous cousin Francis, played with intriguing ambiguity by Kyle Soller (Anna Karenina). Also back are Jack Farthing (Poirot) as George Warleggan, the arch-villain who would rather see Ross dead, a situation he does his best to arrange; along with Philip Davis (White Teeth) and Beatie Edney (Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day) as Ross’ exasperating servants, Jud and Prudie Paynter.
