Poldark: The Complete Collection Starring Robin Ellis Coming to US DVD this Month! (Acorn)
Acorn TV features the DVD release of the original, sweeping Masterpiece Theatre sensation Poldark: The Complete Collection on June 25, 2019. The Emmy and BAFTA-nominated miniseries, based on the beloved novels by Winston Graham, tells the story of a dashing 18th century English army officer (Robin Ellis, The Good Soldier), who finds the trials and travails at home every bit as perilous as what he faced in war. Hailed as a British Gone with the Wind, the classic miniseries debuted on PBS in May 1977, was featured on "The Best of Masterpiece Theatre" special and voted one of the 10 most popular shows in the series' history in a 2007 PBS poll. The DVD 8-Disc set features all 29 episodes, plus bonus featurettes ($79.99, Amazon.com).
A sensation on PBS' Masterpiece Theatre, this spellbinding saga tells the story of the gallant Captain Ross Poldark in 18th-century Cornwall. Based on the novels by Winston Graham, this classic drama teems with adventure and romance, set against the spectacular backdrop of the ruggedly beautiful coast.
In Series 1, a wounded Ross returns from the American Revolution to a family who thought he had perished in the war. He finds that his father has died in his absence, the woman he loves is engaged to his cousin, and a viperous businessman is plotting to ruin his family. Series 2 follows Ross through further tumultuous times, from saving his marriage to reclaiming his fortune as he attempts to defeat his predatory rival once and for all.
