This is the long-awaited memoir of BBC/Masterpiece Theatre actor Robin Ellis, the original Captain Ross Poldark in the BBC classic television series. This expanded edition includes an all new chapter documenting Robin's return to television as part of the new series produced by Mammoth Screen, on behalf of the BBC and Masterpiece/PBS, with Aidan Turner as the new Poldark.
First broadcast in the 1970s, this saga of thwarted love, passion, and swashbuckling adventure, set against hard times in 18th-century Cornwall, became an international sensation, popular in over 40 countries around the world. The memoir also describes the behind-the-scenes story of the original BBC/Masterpiece Theater series, the ongoing effect of "Poldark perks" on Robin's life, and his transformation into a cookbook author.

Charming, engaging, and surprisingly forthright, Michael Caine gives us his insider's view of Hollywood and the story of his brilliant second act. When he was in his late 50s, Michael Caine believed his Hollywood career had come to an end. The scripts being sent his way were worse and worse. Salvation came in the unlikely form of his old friend Jack Nicholson, who convinced him to give acting one more shot. What followed was one of the most radical comebacks in film history.

Historia
The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

Historia
With its brilliant and brutal portrayal of the Corleone family, The Godfather burned its way into our national consciousness. This unforgettable saga of crime and corruption, passion and loyalty continues to stand the test of time, as the definitive novel of the Mafia underworld. A #1 New York Times bestseller in 1969, Mario Puzo's epic was turned into the incomparable film of the same name, directed by Francis Ford Coppola, which won the Academy Award for Best Picture. It is the original classic that has been often imitated, but never matched.

Poldark lives!

Would you consider the audio edition of Making Poldark to be better than the print version?
Yes! Absolutely. I first read this book when I discovered that it was in print. When I learned about the audio version, I couldn't wait to hear it. Even though I read the print version before, it is like I never read the book. Listening to Robin tell the stories with such great detail and colorful descriptive language in his gorgeous British accent brings everything to life. The stories are interesting and funny. Robin is such a good story teller and even if you aren't familiar with the Poldark novels, you will enjoy.Who was your favorite character and why?
Robin gives listeners the inside view of what its really like to be a professional actor. There were many times when I laughed out loud or became sad just because life is always changing and some things we wish could last forever. Picturing him as a young actor in of all places, Cornwall, in the 1970s with the likes of Richard Morant and Angharad Reese should have every romantic pining.What about Robin Ellis’s performance did you like?
He adds honesty and is humble which makes the listener love him and the stories even more! He reveals pieces of his personal life, which for fans like me, appreciate. We feel like we are taken in by his generosity.Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
I like hearing about the transitions of his life. Because he is an artist and also a risk taker, he ends up in places and situations that he never expected. That's what is fun. That is what life should be about. Taking risks and going for it. That's what all of us wish we could do and Robin Ellis has done it.Any additional comments?
One side comment. As an American, I especially liked hearing how to pronounce Angharad's name properly. I can't recommend this book highly enough. I loved it.Brilliantly Awesome Poldark Comes Alive!!!!

If you could sum up Making Poldark in three words, what would they be?
Fascinating, Enjoyable, SatisfyingWhat was one of the most memorable moments of Making Poldark?
This audio book is an update of Robin Ellis's book about his star-making participation in the original "Poldark" series, which, in the 1970's, received frenzied attention in the UK,Europe, and in the US. Ellis's tributes to his fellow actors and author Winston Graham, and his own fine sense of story-telling, always made his book a pleasure to revisit over the years. The bonus in this new audio version, (perhaps one of the "Poldark perks", as he describes it) is that, due to his appearances in the 2015 Poldark series, he is again well-placed to provide new behind-the-scenes insights for us die-hard "Poldark" and Robin Ellis fans.Have you listened to any of Robin Ellis’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
As always,training and experience will out: the author's performance is beautifully-read, and engaging.If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Always PoldarkAny additional comments?
I own the print book, but it was a new treat to hear this accomplished actor reading his narrative regarding both the vintage "Poldark" series and the 2015 version.Updating a classic

To hear his narrative of his book painted a whole new experience for me into the Poldark world! It's lovely to hear Robin tell certain stories and speak about Cornwall , you feel as if your there.
The parts about the new Poldark series are a great and much needed addition.
Not only is Robin a very good author, but also fine actor... this makes the audible book fantastic !!!
Fantastic!

What did you love best about Making Poldark?
I loved that it was written and narrated by the original Ross Poldark. Besides his acting skills, Robin Ellis is a excellent writer and raconteur. I first read the book in the late eighties and thought it felt like having coffee with a friend, confiding bits about his life. It's even better when you listen to the story instead of simply reading it -- since Robin Ellis also does the narration. My wife listened with me and felt the same; she said that it felt like sitting down with Robin and listening to him talk about his life and experiences.What did you like best about this story?
I really liked learning "behind the scenes" bits about the filming of Poldark. It was also great to learn what Robin Ellis did afterwards - including the "what might have been" of the Poldark reboot at ITV in the nineties. (He was not involved in that, but he had information that was interesting to hear.)Any additional comments?
I truly think this is a must-listen for any Poldark fan.An very interesting look behind the scenes

Would you consider the audio edition of Making Poldark to be better than the print version?
As soon as I heard Robin's beautiful voice speaking the words I had read so often I knew I was in for a treat and I was. I laughed and cryed,it was like having an old and loved friend for coffee.What other book might you compare Making Poldark to and why?
One of my favourite books is The Just so book because my father use to read it to me when I was a child, and if I am in doubt or don't know what to do I just pick.up the book and dad is with me and all is well.Which character – as performed by Robin Ellis – was your favorite?
Ross of course, he introduced me to so many other sides to this very talented actor.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Yes it did in many ways,the strength, the anger, but most of all the tender love that he possessed.Any additional comments?
I thoroughly enjoyed hearing the words and Robin's full and rounded inclusion of other members of the cast, and now that the new Poldark is up.and running, his encouragement to the younger actors now taking on these roles,This is the true spirt of a very great actor and man.I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys a good read or listen.
Poldark a real Cornish cream.
