Now with the second season almost here, PBS returns to the rugged Cornish coast to air Poldark Revealed, a one hour special following cast and crew as they bring the next stage of Winston Graham’s much beloved saga to life. Along with exclusive interviews from cast and crew, as well as the award winning creative team behind the series, Poldark Revealed digs deep into the series’ historical background with interviews from eminent historians and an in-depth conversation with Andrew Graham (Winston’s son) who reveals how his father began writing the Poldark novels when he moved to Cornwall as a coastguard during the second world war: “I’m absolutely certain as he looked out to the sea, his imagination was taken by the space and the colours and the light...” As Aidan Turner the actor playing the gallant hero says: “We’re doing this because the books are really good, Winston wrote really well for characters I think, from the first few pages you’re in there with Ross, you get a sense of who he is.” Taking the viewers on an exclusive journey to the real life stories behind the history, the books and its characters, Poldark Revealed uncovers the passion behind the people bringing Graham’s saga to live and reveals just what makes Ross Poldark the unforgettable hero we love so much.
