We at HQ are very perplexed...

What is it about 18th century costumes and men? Sean Bean was wonderful in Sharpe but not so in modern gear? I shall watch Poldark, my guilty pleasure. Then Dragon's Den on catch up.

Poldark who?

Doesn't Cold Feet start next Sunday ?

I have no interest iin this Poldark remake, loved the original series,

Yes, Lully but who can resist a man in uniform!!!

Can't say I am over-excited!

However, Cold Feet - can't wait, hope it's not a let-down, anniebach!

It can't be on at the same time as Poldark though, because Lord Melbourne (sorry, Victoria) is on at that time. Daft, but worth watching for Rufus.
Ross is just a little boy.

Is it me? The BBC doesn't seem to have many original thoughts these days; they keep doing re-hashes of their old successes as if they have run out of ideas.

I'm with Charley and all the other non-watchers. I saw one episode and didn't take to it at all. Sorry!

Well worth a read, Lucy.

I didn't bother re-reading Book 1 and started with Demelza - Book 2. I finished book 5 by the end of last winter so I guesss you could say I was hooked!!

No doubt the new series will have me downloading book 6. I think there are ten in all!!

What is Poldark ?

swashing and buckling spot on! And has bodice-ripping, bosom-heaving been added to the mix yet?
I'll never know. ..

Now, dragons den, I like. How many children have you seen with their own little wheelie carry-ons at airports? I think that was a gem the dragons missed? And there are others, but I think that the programme is a good platform for new ideas, even if the dragons don't think so someone does and runs with it.

I didn't like it the first time round, so won't be watching this time either.

Not watched it

Love Aiden Turner. I am happy to give updates on smouldering looks, and sweaty bodies. I will definately be tuning in to Poldark

Did GNHQ really think we'd all be gagging with uncontainable excitement?

Well, jings, going by past salivation quite a lot of us are.

Another Lord M fan here. I shan't be watching Poldark or Dragons Den but definitely Victoria. (and Strictly results how when it starts)

I seem to be watching less and less tv these days. Not sure why. When I do it's usually a series on I player, watched back to back. I never really know what's on current tv, or when. It's all very confusing.

Roo much time gallivanting about, jingl!

Not Roo! Too.

It was only Wales! (So beautiful though. Sigh!)

Just caught up with first episode of Victoria and must say I found Lord M very appealing (not a patch on Colin Firth as Mr Darcy mind you). Can't wait to watch episode 2, I've got a feeling he's going to grow on me, as is the whole program. And I didn't even want to watch it till my daughter said it was very enjoyable...........

So glad that I'm not banned from Gransnet because I haven't planned on including Poldark in my TV viewing. Not my cup of tea, along with many of you it seems.

I think I saw some of the original Poldark but did not watch the last series and won't be watching this time either!
