I just thought I should say a quick hello before I start posting. Basically I discovered Poldark through my hobby of old archive British TV from the 70's and 80's. I particularly liked those old British dramas where it's played out like a theatre and you follow the story and characters for weeks. Th...

Hello All, I'm Midori, I have been a reader of the books since the late '60's when my mother bought the first four, (in Bude). I have since collected the entire series, and read them near to destruction. The television series was pure heaven for me, the characters were just as I had imagined them. I am ind...

Hello I remember "Poldark" being shown on the BBC when I was a child, although I didn't watch it. I have since read the novels and seen the series repeated on UK TV History (now known as Yesterday). I have also bought the DVDs so that I can watch it at my leisure. I thought it was wonderful. It is...

I only discovered this site yesterday, by accident, it seems heaven sent for a Poldark enthusiast. Read all the books ten years ago, came to them a bit late, picked one up in the local library, after that there was no stopping.

Hi to all those Poldark fans worldwide. Have been a fan of the books and series since the 70s and have just re-read all 12 books and seen the series on the History channel and the DVDs. So glad that there are others out there who feel the same way as I do. Winston Graham really got under a character's skin...

I vaguely remember Poldark from the first time around. I was 12, so my parents must have watched it. Unsurprisingly, the thing that most stuck in my mind was the 'randy vicar', Christopher Biggins. I'm watching the repeats on UKHistory at the moment (isn't it brilliant for this sort of stuff? Last yea...
