Welcome to Cornwall, England's westernmost county. The year is 1780, and the political and social atmosphere is as stormy as the sea that pounds the rocky shores. Into this landscape, Captain Ross Poldark (Robin Ellis) returns from the American war to take up his inheritance and take up with his beloved Elizabeth (Jill Townsend). But with false reports of his death having reached Cornwall ahead of him, what will he find? First broadcast in 1975, this release features the second half of Series One of Poldark.
