From IMDB:
British officer Ross Poldark returns to his native Cornwall after the Revolutionary War after escaping as a prisoner of war. He finds that because he was believed dead, his home has fallen into ruin and his estate has shifted to his mercenary uncle following the death of his father. His uncle has committed to selling the family copper and tin mines to a ruthless local land baron while his former fiancée has agreed to marry his cousin in his absence.
* The role of Ross Poldark was originally offered to Ian McShane; Leigh Lawson and Timothy Dalton were also considered before Robin Ellis was cast in the role.
* The series attracted up to 15 million viewers.
* Robin Ellis and Angharad Rees were lined up to reprise their characters in the attempt to reboot Poldark (1996), but producers HTV reneged on their promises and recast the parts, much to the disappointment of long-term fans who actually staged a physical protest against the decision.
* Several of the actors had have dialogue coaching to appropriate a Cornish accent for their roles.
