AIBU to watch Poldark on repeat while the kids are at school?

[phlebasconsidered]

Oh my. Aidan Turner is no longer a dwarf in mine eyes.
This is just the sort of bodice ripper horse gallopy shirt off nonsense I need to get me feeling all spring-like. Who's with me! ?

Here is a happy Monday photo.

Wasn't impressed. I remember the original and it wasn't a patch on that imo.

I wasn't even watching it properly and some of it was pretty eye-catching. Will have to revisit on iplayer.

I don't remember the original, and so I think that probably helps. It made lovely Sunday bedtime viewing as far as I was concerned. I don't want challenge before bed on a Sunday, just nice scenery and a lot of nice outfits.

Thank you! It's a happy Monday now.

Aidan Turner was fab in "Being Human" and I am so glad he'll be on my TV for a whole series again. In tight pants.

Indeed phlebas! Dh complained last night that although he had been playing the PC, Poldark sounded boring.

I barely even noticed the plot

It was something about a farm. I think.He had to take his top off a lot, at the farm. I hope the farm features a LOT.

Sorry, but I preferred the original Poldark.
Apparently Robin Ellis has a small role in this version.

Thank you Phlebas, you have made today a Terrific Tuesday with that picture

The original is in my mind, i do remember it in patches.

Wasn't Chris Biggins in it; a toff who shagged/raped Morwenna iirc.?

Aiden Turner is tasty.

DP dragged me along to see The Hobbit and I ended up totally focused on Kili.

He's like a piece of fine art.

I am amazed at how people can remember the original series in such detail. I used to watch the original Poldark and enjoyed it, but it was so long ago and I barely remember the plot.

I don't really remember the plot as such, it was a treat in our house on a Sunday to watch 'proper telly' with Mum and Dad.

It'll be The Onedin Line next

I have the original on DVD Bunbaker! MY DP and I are massive fans. is brilliant!

I loved the original series .Took a shine to Francis as a child !
Love the new series even more didn't expect to. Really looking forward to the next episode.

I suspect that if those who say the original was better were to actually watch it instead of comparing with a hazy memory, they might find it wasn't that good. Acting standards, screen writing and general production values have improved so much since the original was made that it would probably look terrible!

With the exception of Suggestme who I now see has watched the original recently...
I can't see it myself, though!

I love the original series but was impressed with the first episode of the new remake

Kept expecting Aidan Turner to bite someone !!
And the original Poldark Robin Ellis plays the magistrate in the new series
