Poldark: Anatomy of a Hit will tell the inside story of how Winston Grahams' acclaimed 18^th century drama was adapted for the screen. The panel includes Debbie Horsfield, the writer who turned to the books into television scripts, as well as the the producers and actors who brought that writing to life.

This event, lavishly illustrated with clips, will reveal a rare glimpse of the creative process. It will be a masterclass in the making of a hit.
