Hello there, I run a small VHS to DVD conversion service and was contacted today by a member of this forum. He suggested that you are having problems getting the 1990's UK (PAL) VHS versions of Poldark in the US and wanted to know whether it is possible to transfer them to US (NTS...

I've read the first eight Poldark books as unabridged audio tapes. I now have the eleventh - The Twisted Sword - but don't seem able to find the intervening two, ie The Miller's Dance and The Loving Cup.

I dont know if this is the correct place to post this BUT I wanted to let all the Aussie fans know that Poldark is now available on DVD here. I bought mine at the ABC Shop in Melbourne city store yesterday, they are $51 approx per set. Set 1 has 4 discs and set 2 has 3. It covers books 1-7 which are the best ones IM...

I've just finished reading the 12 books in the Poldark saga and would dearly love to watch the old BBC miniseries but it doesn't seem to be available in the US (at least not on DVD). The DVDs have been released in the UK; does anyone know if there are plans to release them here? Thanks. west...

I have just watched the whole of the BBC series followed by the one-off video from the later ITV attempt. I didn't remember too much about the ITV one before I watched it. I thought that the script was poor and the casting of Ross and George Warleggan not too good either. At the end I was left with the impres...

When series I was shown on TV in the late 1980s I videoed it. In the 90s having bought the VHS video cassettes I noticed that various scenes had been edited. Unfortunatley I didn't retain my off air recordings for comparison. When the DVD's were issued I bought these hoping that the missing s...

Now I know we all think WG wrote brilliant books but on a long car journey recently I was pondering which of the 12 books has the least satisfactory ending. As connoisseurs, which book would you have liked to see extended a little just to get a better insight into the final chapters of each novel? The fi...

One of the fascinating things about reading and re-reading our favourite Cornish saga is the way that every re-read reveals unknown or unremembered details that we missed on the first or seventh go round. I am just now coming to the end of "The Four Swans" and as I have taken to doing recentl...

I'm just now starting in on "The Four Swans" on my latest read through from end to end. It's quite amazing how many little unknown, or unremembered, snippets leap off the pages each time they are re-read. Specifically in "Warleggan" and "The Black Moon" it is really...

An interesting gem I'd not picked up before about Grace and all the Poldarks on my third much slower re-read of all the books in Demelza, Book 2, Chapter 6 when Verity visited Ross just after he'd returned from telling Jinny the sad news of Jim's death.

Both are clock-stopping gorgeous. Both are gentry. Both would last less than a month with Ross. :) In Caroline's case, Ross would lose the verbal and pistol duels. BOOM! Compare these two of the Four Swans!

Are there any other books besides Poldark that you've read over and over again as well ?

Hi Guys, Reading the "Meeting Demelza" thread led me to Googling to see if I could find out a bit more about this short story, but instead I came across this Poldark Blog http://ellenandjim.wordpress.com/2011/05/07/grahams-demelza/ It is one of several fairly long Blogs...

How very kind all of you are! Thankyou so much! First of all I must apoligize if I seem unfamilier with this forum. Thankyou "Ross" for redirecting my post. Unfortunately I'm not sure how you got me in the proper thread so I put your response in my favorites so I come to this one as default as no...

I am sooo excited I dont know where to begin! I guess with a grateful THANKYOU to whoever it was that created this website! I am from the U.S. and a couple of weeks ago I came across this series on Ne****x! Since they only offer season one I have watched season two on the internet and have since purchased bo...

Poldark is a long saga and i realise they couldnt have included all the storylines in the tv series but i do wish they had dramatised the Reuben Clemmow and Jinny Carter tale. It would have made great drama, especially the finale where Reuben comes looking for his frying pan.

This is from the first Ward Lock edition in 1946. It follows the chapter on the second christening. CHAPTER SIXAT Grambler the players gave The Miner's Revenge, a play specially written by a Cornishman, Richard Carthew. There had been a good deal of summer fever of late; but as Otway himself and Tupp...

I had the misfortune to be using a fairly new toothbrush when the bristles...

If anyone has any further information in any of the Poldark books or anywhere on the Net about "The House of Stratus" or where their books can be bought it would be welcome, as all I can find so far on Google is this address in Kelly Bray, Cornwall with only a Fax. number. http://www.houseofstratus.com/...

I saw on another post that someone mentioned remember Demelza hiding in a cupboard in Nampara when she was first brought back and how the US VHS nor DVDs show that scene. Seems to me I remember a scene that was on TV but not on the VHS or DVD - Ross was bringing Demelza home for the first time and was washing he...

Another, what if? scenario! There is a paragraph in Ross Poldark which suggests the likely life plan of Demelza if she had not become Ross's wife. It is when she is still very young and during her first year at nampara, and describes the rapid growth of her mind and character and maturing body and conclu...

Hi, I am an old fan of the series, having watched it as a teenager (giving my age away here!) and lapped up the books - except the latest one, which I hadn't heard of until I found this forum. I wonder if someone could help me please as I am trying to find a particular quote to use in an essay for my Open Universi...

Hello All I am considering purchasing the complete series of DVDs and have noted that on Amazon a Dutch version is available.

I dread to think ...... Bella

Hi everyone, I have the Poldark saga and loved it, but the books are quite old and I´ve been restoring them. The second book, Warleggan, has two pages which are ripped (broken), I think a mistake from the printing press. I really tried to find them in spanish, but it was impossible... for all I´ve seen,...

Just back from vacation in Portugal where I was lucky enough to spend 3 weeks on the south-western Atlantic coast, up in the hills above Aljezur whilst house/pool-sitting for a friend. Unfortunately, due to the great surf conditions, we didn't get the time to explore as far north as Busaco, but ha...

Great pity about Butto which spoilt the ending of the last book enormously as it was so completely out of character with everything that had happened up till then. But then at WG's age allowances must be made for it must have been a huge effort to begin with. Nevertheless I've always wondered why d...

As I've been wanting to find and buy the most original and complete version of the original Poldark film for ages, tracing all the various Poldark VHS & DVD re-issues worldwide has always been an interesting thought because of the occasional very intriguing posting that's come up about it in t...

Out of interest and to get another slant on member's thoughts and views, if you could choose an alternative dream Poldark cast, up to book 7 as before, from a list of all time British actor greats who would they be ? http://www.britishcinemagreats.com/title_actors_page/main.htm Two short post w...

Regarding the casting of Dwight Ennys, we all know that different actors played the role in the two TV series. And of course there was a reason for the change. But did anyone make note of the impact it has on the viewer at first encounter with the second Dr. Ennys? Word comes back to Cornwall that Dwigh...

What storylines should have been included in the tv series (Preview)	Char Nanfan	3	343	Jun 23 6:17 PM, 2011 by Grace
Poldark is a long saga and i realise they couldnt have included all the storylines in the tv series but i do wish they had dramatised the Reuben Clemmow and Jinny Carter tale. It would have made great drama, especially the finale where Reuben comes looking for his frying pan.

Dwight! Where are you when I need you? (Preview)	Namparagirl	6	779	Mar 10 5:41 PM, 2011 by Verity
Hi folks, I've just emerged from another of life's unpleasant little experiences and one, may I add, where I found myself thinking of Caroline and understanding just how she must have felt over the incident with the fishbone. I had the misfortune to be using a fairly new toothbrush when the bristles...
House of Stratus ? (Preview)	Ross Poldark	10	988	Mar 5 5:33 PM, 2011 by Ross Poldark
If anyone has any further information in any of the Poldark books or anywhere on the Net about "The House of Stratus" or where their books can be bought it would be welcome, as all I can find so far on Google is this address in Kelly Bray, Cornwall with only a Fax. number. http://www.houseofstratus.com/...
Missing scenes (Preview)	katrina vantassel	3	798	Mar 2 8:55 PM, 2011 by Namparagirl
I saw on another post that someone mentioned remember Demelza hiding in a cupboard in Nampara when she was first brought back and how the US VHS nor DVDs show that scene. Seems to me I remember a scene that was on TV but not on the VHS or DVD - Ross was bringing Demelza home for the first time and was washing he...
What would have happened to Demelza if she had left nampara? (Preview)	Char Nanfan	3	986	Feb 14 1:45 PM, 2011 by Wally Greer
Another, what if? scenario! There is a paragraph in Ross Poldark which suggests the likely life plan of Demelza if she had not become Ross's wife. It is when she is still very young and during her first year at nampara, and describes the rapid growth of her mind and character and maturing body and conclu...
Help from the experts please! (Preview)	Celine	6	740	Jan 28 4:25 AM, 2011 by Wally Greer
Hi, I am an old fan of the series, having watched it as a teenager (giving my age away here!) and lapped up the books - except the latest one, which I hadn't heard of until I found this forum. I wonder if someone could help me please as I am trying to find a particular quote to use in an essay for my Open Universi...

Dutch DVDs - Advice anyone? (Preview)	Mrs Gimlett	3	1128	Oct 27 11:24 AM, 2010 by Bella
Hello All I am considering purchasing the complete series of DVDs and have noted that on Amazon a Dutch version is available. On one of the reviews it says that series one is 100 minutes longer than other versions. There are no reviews of series 2. As a newcomer to all this technical stuff can someone...

Help with book "Warleggan" (Preview)	Jimena	6	994	Sep 10 9:24 PM, 2010 by Jimena
Hi everyone, I have the Poldark saga and loved it, but the books are quite old and I´ve been restoring them. The second book, Warleggan, has two pages which are ripped (broken), I think a mistake from the printing press. I really tried to find them in spanish, but it was impossible... for all I´ve seen,...
Battle of Busaco (Preview)	Namparagirl	2	983	Aug 21 9:36 PM, 2010 by Ross Poldark
Just back from vacation in Portugal where I was lucky enough to spend 3 weeks on the south-western Atlantic coast, up in the hills above Aljezur whilst house/pool-sitting for a friend. Unfortunately, due to the great surf conditions, we didn't get the time to explore as far north as Busaco, but ha...
The weakest storyline(s) in the books ? (Preview)	Tholly	2	839	Aug 18 11:42 AM, 2010 by Tholly
Great pity about Butto which spoilt the ending of the last book enormously as it was so completely out of character with everything that had happened up till then. But then at WG's age allowances must be made for it must have been a huge effort to begin with. Nevertheless I've always wondered why d...

As I've been wanting to find and buy the most original and complete version of the original Poldark film for ages, tracing all the various Poldark VHS & DVD re-issues worldwide has always been an interesting thought because of the occasional very intriguing posting that's come up about it in t...

Confusion At First Sight (Preview)	NormanR	2	1340	May 7 12:28 AM, 2011 by Demelza
Regarding the casting of Dwight Ennys, we all know that different actors played the role in the two TV series. And of course there was a reason for the change. But did anyone make note of the impact it has on the viewer at first encounter with the second Dr. Ennys? Word comes back to Cornwall that Dwigh...
