Re: Broadchurch and Other UK TV Programs
Yes I remember it well! I loved it!! I believe Robin Ellis played the part of Ross Poldark, but I cannot remember the names of the other actors. It was a really good television series (based on the Poldark books by Winston Graham - at least I think that is the author's name) Of course, I absolutely love Cornwall. In fact, I would say it is my favorite part of England. When I lived in Cheshire we used to go to Cornwall on vacation - many happy memories!!! Now I love to watch Doc Martin (love the show and the Cornish scenery).
Poldark looks to be going to be a great series.

Re: Broadchurch and Other UK TV Programs
Disappointed with the new Poldark - seems to really drag and the guy they have playing Poldark is totally without sex appeal or charisma. Pretty but dull!
I am behind on this show but just started series one of The Fall. It's very good, but I'm finding it quite bleak. It's such a horrible subject combined with unlikeable characters and a grim setting. Story's good though and it's nice to see such a strong female character.

Re: Broadchurch and Other UK TV Programs
Ooooh, do check out "Back in Time for Dinner" on BBC 2
It is about a family who are taking part in an experiment of British kitchens and cooking over the last 50 years.
It's the second part this evening and it's fascinating.
Who remembers Vesta curries and chop suey.....it was our treat on a Saturday night whilst watching The Generation Game lol...
