I received the set quickly. The used discs were in great condition. There was some damage to one of the cases but that wasn't a problem. Since I love the new Poldark series, and have read the books twice, I was curious to see the original. It isn't as great as the current one but it's well worth watching. Robin Ellis isn't as handsome as Aidan Turner and I question the choice of actress for Elizabeth since she's supposed to be so beautiful. Not so in the old series. Demelza also comes across very childlike at times. Overall, it's good though, especially by 1975 standards.

Very, very stiff characters compared to the current remake. Why Poldark would fall for such a cold fish is beyond both my wife and me. Bought it on a recommendation that I'm now wondering about. The price was nice, but the content left us cold.

Saw this many years ago on PBS and loved it. Just finished binge watching over the past 3 days and love it still. The camera work, film and video tape, are a bit dated and some of the acting is over the top but the story is so engaging and Robin Ellis and Angharad Rees are so appealing that it's hard to resist. Love it!

I saws the original Poldark when it was broadcast in the 70's. The new version is more polished and more believable but the original is still very good and well worth seeing.

This is outstanding, and so far as can recall, complete. I love the series - had seen it in bits and pieces, and now I have the whole thing to enjoy. It comes on about 7 or 8 CD's, and I watch it each night-in bed- for about half an hour. If I fall asleep, it stops at the end of that disk, and the next night, I find about where I remember I was, and continue watching it. I love the quality and the fact that I can watch a continuing story night after night - sort of a continuing "bedtime story." Engrossing, well acted, and I happen to love period movies. It takes place in Cornwall, England, at about the time of the American Revolution, since Ross Poldark is returning from America, having fought for England during the Revolutionary War. Super story! It's about his personal life and loves, romantic, but realistic. Fascinating characters. Wonderful photography; well acted. In short, I am loving it. Look forward to going to bed to watch some of it. I will hate for it to end.Read full review
