Cornishman? D: But Irish! I hope he doesn't do one of those broad West Country accents. I'd rather he was inexplicably Irish than have a dodgy accent.

Definitely for historical research. :)

Research. So much research to do. *stares at screen*

I faithfully watched the original Poldark when it aired here on our local PBS channel. I've checked BBC America and it isn't scheduled there. I'm wondering if it may be available later on as a set of DVDs. Would you have any idea if that's a possibility? I purchased an all-region player several years ago to watch Sharpe but haven't used it in a while. If necessary, I'd certainly get a newer one if needed. I have fond memories of the original and if you're able to get the new one let me know if you think it's a worthy successor Thanks!

This looks more like PBS, but maybe Ovation or Sundance. Whatever it is, I WANNA SEE IT!

And if not, Barnes and Noble always does their half off British sale about 3 times a year and I stock up.
