Synopsis via BBC
Poldark gets better with every episode, episode 7 was just brilliant. The scenes cutting together towards the end showing the consequences of Demelza's actions was an inspired piece of theatre and the performance of the actors is of a consistently excellent standard. Here in Cornwall so many people are really enjoying this adaptation of what is a very special series of novels. Well done BBC.
