To me, it's a very attractive trait, to be lagging behind, out of step with other people. You go, girl! (...but go slowly, at your own pace) |
Poldark was made in the 70s originally, but it was remade for the 21st century. I don't know how fans reacted; I never saw the original, though I remember seeing it on the telly (though not watching it) as a kid. it seemed very period, sort of "smuggler's cove" sort of thing. I have no idea what it's about, but considering I'm a massive fan of
The Onedin Line, it's possible it might have appealed to me. I've never bothered watching it though, original or remake.
Ah, interesting. I just checked: it was obviously a big success second time round, as it ran for FIVE seasons (the original only ran for two). I also like the fact that they found a role for the original Poldark, Robin Ellis, in the remake. That's respect.
