Poldark is a British historical drama television series based on the novels of the same title by Winston Graham and starring Aidan Turner in the lead role. The book series is twelve novels long but the TV series only portrays the first seven. [1] The series was written and adapted by Debbie Horsfield for the BBC, and directed by several directors throughout its run. [2] [3] Set between 1781 and 1801, the plot follows the title character on his return to Cornwall after the American War of Independence in 1783.

Contents

The series first aired on BBC One in the United Kingdom on 8 March 2015 in eight episodes, and in seven episodes on PBS in the United States, which supported the production, on 21 June 2015 as part of its Masterpiece anthology. The first series was based on the first two Poldark novels by Graham. [4] It is the second screen adaptation of Graham's novels, following a television series broadcast by BBC One between 1975 and 1977. [5]

On 8 April 2015, the BBC announced that a second series had been commissioned [6] which premiered on 4 September 2016, and contained content from the third and fourth Poldark novels. [7] The BBC announced on 6 July 2016, before series two had begun, that a third series had been commissioned based on the fifth and half of the sixth novels. [8] The fourth series began airing on 10 June 2018, based on the sixth (second half) and seventh novels. [9] Filming for the fifth and final series started in September 2018 and it was broadcast in July 2019. [10] [11] The final series ends the story in the year 1801, that is nine years before the time-setting of the eighth novel The Stranger from the Sea. The storyline for the fifth series was meant to give insight into Ross's story between the seventh and eighth novel, The Angry Tide and The Stranger from the Sea. [12]

Poldark sustained positive reviews throughout all five series, although viewership declined from the first series onwards. [13] At the 21st National Television Awards, the series was nominated for Best New Drama and Best Drama Performance and Impact Award (both for Turner), winning the latter. [14] At the 22nd National Television Awards, the programme was nominated for Best Period Drama. It also won the Audience Award at the 2016 BAFTA TV Awards.

Plot overview

In 1783 Captain Ross Vennor Poldark returns from the American War of Independence to his home of Nampara in Cornwall after three years in the army. Upon his return home, he discovers his father Joshua has died, his estate is in ruins and in considerable debt, and his childhood sweetheart Elizabeth is engaged to his cousin Francis.

He meets a young woman called Demelza Carne at Truro market and hires her as a scullery maid but they fall in love and marry in 1787. Throughout the five series, the story continues to follow the lives of Ross and Demelza, Elizabeth and Francis and George Warleggan while they deal with their marriages, lost loves, death, the birth of their children and war.

Production

The series was one of the final commissions by former BBC One controller Danny Cohen. [15] [16] [17] Filming began in Cornwall and Bristol in April 2014. [18] [19] [20] [21] The production company is Mammoth Screen. [22] Independent Television (ITV) bought the production company and worked on the second series. [23] The production base for each series was The Bottle Yard Studios in Bristol, England, where purpose-built sets for the interiors of Poldark's home 'Nampara' and The Red Lion pub were located from series one onwards. For series four, eighteen sets were built across three studios at The Bottle Yard Studios, including five composite houses (Poldark in Cornwall and London, the Warleggans in Cornwall and London and the Whitworth Vicarage) and a period-correct scale replica of the House of Commons. Production offices, construction, prop workshops and extensive costume department were also based at the Studios.

Filming locations include a farmhouse near St Breward on Bodmin Moor for exteriors of Nampara, the north Cornwall coast at St Agnes Head, which represents the 'Nampara Valley', and the Botallack Mine near St Just in Penwith, which is featured as 'Wheal Leisure', the mine that Ross Poldark attempts to resurrect. The beach of Church Cove, Gunwalloe on the Lizard Peninsula was used as a location for a shipwreck scene. [24] Town scenes were filmed at Corsham in Wiltshire. [25] and in Frome, Somerset. The underground scenes were filmed at Poldark Mine in Cornwall. Some interior scenes were shot at Prior Park College in Bath, Somerset. [26] Charlestown near St Austell stood in for the city of Truro. Other film locations include Porthgwarra on the St Aubyn Estates, Porthcothan beach near Newquay, Bodmin Moor, St Breward, the coast between Botallack and Levant, cliffs in the Padstow area, Porthcothan near Newquay, Holywell Bay, Porthcurno, Kynance Cove, Predannack Wollas on The Lizard and Park Head near Porthcothan, all in Cornwall. [27] Chavenage House near Tetbury, Gloucestershire the house portrayed as Trenwith (it was used for other series including Wolf Hall, Lark Rise to Candleford, and Tess of the d'Urbervilles), [28] and Great Chalfield Manor in Wiltshire was the location for Killewarren. Filming of Series four was reported in Wells, Somerset. [29]

The theme music for the series was composed by Anne Dudley. [30]

586% (21 reviews) [37] —

On Rotten Tomatoes, the first season holds an approval rating of 91% based on 23 reviews, with an average rating of 7/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Like an epic romance novel come to life, Poldark offers a sumptuous visual feast, from gorgeous scenery to a charming, handsome lead." [35] On Metacritic, season one has a weighted average score of 72 out of 100, based on reviews from 14 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews". [38]

Reviewing season 1, Mike Hale of The New York Times called the series "Sweeping, stirring, rousing...good stuff" [39] and his colleague Sarah Seltzer also wrote: "the series delivers immediately on the panoramic scenery and romance that this genre demands: plunging cliffs, green fields, galloping horses and burning glances aplenty". [40] Brian Lowry of Variety wrote: "Turner brings the necessary swoon-worthy qualities to the emotionally wounded lead...but the cast is uniformly good." Lowry also praised the "gorgeous photography" and the "haunting, wonderfully romantic score." [41] Keith Uhlich of The Hollywood Reporter made positive comparisons to the kind of romance novels sold in airports and said "This is trash done ecstatically well." [42]

On Rotten Tomatoes, seasons 3, and 5 hold respective ratings of 100%, and 86%, [36] [37] with season five's consensus reading: "Poldark's final season gives fans exactly what they want: emotionally involving period drama fueled by exceptional chemistry with just the right amount of ridiculousness." [37] Reviewing season 5, Emine Saner of The Guardian called it "gloriously entertaining" and although she was critical of the series for "its jumpy approach to time and ludicrous storylines" and called it an "unwieldy anachronistic beast of a story", she praised the performances of Turner and Tomlinson and the resonance they gave to the story. Therefore, Emnie called it "the perfect farewell." [43]

Rosamund Barteau, Winston Graham's daughter, said that in relating to the show, "[O]ur father would have been very, very pleased. He really loved the Poldark novels and even though he wrote all his life he was particularly attached to Poldark....I think what the BBC has done is amazing. The new adaptation is beautiful and very true to my father's words. Debbie Horsfield has done an excellent job, so I am absolutely happy with the treatment they've given it." [44]
