Poldark 2016

Quite surprised when Taggart turned up in uniform.

'There's bin a murrrrrrrderrrrrrrrr!'

Oh, now what trouble's coming up? ! (wrings hands. can't take much more).

They were probably thinking that no one would notice what with the usual mumbled dialogue and endless background music. Anyone remember when you used to get all the atmosphere from the acting?

OMG worst Scottish accent ever tonight. Unbelievable that the producers allowed it.

Oh my word, how come I never heard this before. I've just discovered that Aidan Turner is also a talented ballroom dancer who used to represent Ireland! Imagine Ross Poldark on Strictly Come Dancing! I think the excitement would be too much.

I didn't realise that the blonde girl with the pug was Caroline. She seemed much nicer in the original series.

Maggiemaybe I know that feeling. I was persuaded to de clutter and gave them all away. I'd love to read them again...guess it will be on kindle.

Didn't Ross rescue Francis when he was drowning? Must admit I can't remember how he did die. I wish they could get away from the identikit casting. Apart fron Ross all the young men look exactly the same, and so do the womaen. In the original Ross, Francis and George all looked very different and you would never have mixed up Demelza and Caroline or Elizabeth.

In the 1970's version he drowned in a copper mine. I think it followed the book but not sure as my books have long gone too.

Blimey, I can't remember how Francis died, even though details such as the names of Ross and Demelza's children seem to have stuck. And I can't check it out now that I've given all the books to the charity shop. That's the very last time I have a go at de-cluttering.

I love the books, the original TV series and the new one.

I read the books too, several times. A good family yarn. I don't think Francis blew his brains out either in the original. Must check it out.

I also muc h preferred the original TV series which I have just watched on DVD. I read all the books when they were first published and have recently re read the first three. Remakes are rarely as good as the original.

I read the books some time ago, all 13 of them. I may be wrong but I thought Francis died down the mine when drunk.
I loved the original TV series, which I have on DVD, but could never see Robin Ellis's Ross as attractive. I like Aiden more, but Angharad looked more like my idea of Demelza, more urchin-like.

I just googled it, but I couldn't find out.

I don't think Francis did that in the original,series.

I've read the books too merlot and loved the original series but I prefer this Ross. And, Robin Ellis didn't look as though he had aged that well last night!

I enjoy watching this version of Poldark but have say I much prefer the original 1970s series. Robin Ellis didn't need to show rippling torso to set hearts aflutter and Angharad Rhys was a brilliant Demelza.

Mind you, they may have altered the plot to get it all in this series so to speak.

I've read the books.

My lips are sealed

I think he did it. Can't see the point otherwise. And there was that tarot card...Death!

Perhaps Tanith is right, who knows? I am apt to take things at face value.

Guess it's best to preface with SPOILER ALERT, but so easy to forget!

Don't worry Greyduster! Not that fussed. Sometimes knowing the plot helps you pick up on other things. I am always teasing my OH by threatening to tell. "Do you want to know how it ends" "Do you want to know who did it?" He gets more involved than I do.

Well, he's spent too long talking posh in Midsummer Murders then Cornishgirl! Accent seemed to come and go.
