...running just over the hour if you cut out the ads(and this is freeview with ads about every ten minutes),this travesty was shown the other afternoon as a "feature "film and made absolutely no sense.
There was no background for the characters,no explanation of the Poldark/Warleggan feud,clearly huge lumps had been chopped out making the whole thing pointless.
We arrived at a point where the story had obviously been running for some time and left so abruptly it was almost rude- in the middle of Clowance stomping off in high dudgeon with obviously a lot to be done before the end of the story.
It was as if I was watching one episode from a tv series at about the halfway point
in it's run.
It was an insult to both viewers and performers.
The Independent Television Authority needs to look hard at what is being used under it's auspices to sell funeral insurance and stairlifts.
A lot of it's audience may be old - but it's not stupid.
