Poldark

This series is set at the turn of the century because the next book begins in 1810 (ten years later)

Debbie Horsefield is filling in the gap.

I wish they'd just stuck to the books.

There was mention of a “new century “ on Sunday so I think 1800

The fact that it's 1800 was made clear at the beginning of the first episode!
Lovely picnic on the beach, Perranporth?!!

The fact that it's 1800 was made clear at the beginning of the first episode!
Well, perhaps I missed the beginning of the first episode.

I feel duly chastised though and will pay more attention in future

I missed that too - note to self, must do better

I thought I watched it for entertainment!

I wish they'd stuck to the books too, merlot

It was right at the beginning at the end of the music telling us what year it was and where we were. No chastisment intended, just information confirming a fact!!

I will make sure that next week I am sitting down at two minutes to nine, waiting for the start with bated breath.!!

You will be tested afterwards Callistemon - you have been warned

Oh heck, better not fall asleep then!!
I'll record it jujst in case.

Oh FGS don't be so pathetic! It only told you the place and year as an introduction to the first episode, just like many programmes do when they've been off the screen for a few months! Do grow up!

No you grow up

No YOu grow up

No YOU grow up

Etc

Jabberwok I took it very lightly and was amused!

Goodness me

Me too! I thought I was being light hearted and joking about my lack of attention to the wonderful Poldark - I'm not quite sure what's just happened there

I think we need to grow up

I am not enjoying this series as much as the previous. There are several more books on which they could have based it. I also dislike the fact that, in common with other dramas these days, most of it is set in the dark!

I know what you mean shysal, much as it pains me to admit it. Perhaps it's because some of the much loved characters are no longer in it, or perhaps it's because all the political sniping seems too much like real life at the moment - either way, I'm not engaged in the same way.

I am feeling very sorry for poor George in tonight’s episode- leeches, being sick, half drowned in bath. Even Uncle looks worried.

Me too

Oh no, now he has escaped and running away in his nightshirt! ?

Oh thank goodness! Doctor Enys arrived in the nick of time! Thought it would be Ross saving the day.

But he’s left him at Trenwith

That episode was more like the Poldark I know and love

I am sick of Demelza's silly grin. Too much sickly sweet, finger-down-throat stuff.
