As a major fan of the show, it's wonderful to read the words of Debbie Horsfield's scripts and compare them to the final product on screen. It was also exciting to compare her scripts to the original source material, the books by Winston Graham.
Reading the Season 2 scripts was a joyful experience for this super fan!

How can you not love reading the scripts of Poldark?
You simply relive the TV broadcast all over again! I only wish that they had released all the scripts though season 5.
