It's a great PBS series on Sunday nights.  Masterpiece Theater brought all the great British classic stuff to he U.S.  Upstairs Downstairs, I Claudius, Poldark, all the Jane Austens, Bleak House and other Dickens stuff.  Great stuff.

Hi Lyn:  It's Public Broadcasting System.  We call it public TV.  Commercial free, run by donations and a couple of govt. grants.  All of our other TV is commercial funded and it's very annoying. Years ago they called public TV "educational TV."

It is, Denzil.  Poldark was about Cornwall you know.  Ross Poldard owned a tin mine and he was a veteran of the American Revolutionary war, but he was a redcoat.
