Someone mentioned several days ago about how they'd like to catch up on older PBS dramas like "Poldark" from the 1970's. Lord, I loved that show, and would always be home at 9 on Sundays to watch it. I recently rented the whole shebang from Netflix and caught up with it again. Interestingly, one of the lesser actors in the original series is still in the biz. Kevin McNally, who plays Drake Carne (romantic lead in a substory) and who was then very young and dashingly handsome, now plays pirate Joshamee Gibbs, henchman to Johnny Depp's Capt Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. Time has not been kind to him.
