Making Poldark
Listening to Robin Ellis reading the newly expanded edition of his book “Making Poldark” is a delight. In addition to his personal account of all the back-stage stories of the original series, Mr. Ellis, in this audio edition, includes his first-hand experiences playing the character of the Reverend Halse in the new Poldark. His insights and charming anecdotes bring both series to life. It is fascinating to hear his observations of both Poldark productions. Hearing the original “Poldark” himself talk about “Poldark” the show, is an entertaining audiobook that is sure to appeal to the fans of both series.
