Poldark is the beloved BBC miniseries set against the stormy sociopolitical backdrop of 18th-century England. The year is 1780, and Captain Ross PoldarkĀ (Robin Ellis) has just returned to Cornwall from his battles in the American War. He hopes to settle down with his inheritance and his beloved Elizabeth (Jill Townsend), but false reports of his death preceded his arrival, resulting in heartbreaking circumstances. In addition, Poldark must also contend with his fetching new housekeeper and the family copper mines which threaten to fall into the hands of his greatest archenemy. (Universal Pictures UK)
