Trivia

The sheer brown gown with white embroidery worn by a guest at the London ball is the same costume worn by Faith Brook (Countess Rostova) in War & Peace, by an extra at the London Ball in Poldark: Episode #2.2, and by Kelly Hunter (Lady Steyne) at the Prince Regent's party in Vanity Fair.

User Reviews

Poor continuation of original BBC Mini Series.

This very poorly done production jumps from scene to scene and appears like many parts must have been cut out to make it fit into the scheduled time(sound familiar?). Then, it ends abruptly, leaving all the story lines up in the air. It looks like this might have been parts of a mini series that was never completed. Don't expect this to compare with the original Poldark series. A real waste of some very good talent.
