*Spoilers about Poldark series one – four* I recently read (on British Period Dramas) that Poldark Series Five will be ‘making up its own story’ rather than relying on the books. This was always likely to be the case as Winston Graham put a decade […]
4/5 Ross has a prior engagement, with Prime Minister Pitt the Younger Ross’s poor relief scheme has succeeded in Cornwall and won the approval of Prime Minister. Pitt gives Ross a commission: ‘Your impulse is sound, and I believe it’s time will come…help those who […]
