Poldark's on the horizon (looking broodingly out to sea...)

[MaQueen]

So, only a matter of a few weeks left before we can all, once more, immerse ourselves in the societal & economic dynamics of 18th century rural Cornwall perve at Aiden Turner's snug breeches and clenched jawline

Anyone else excited??? Am really going to make a vair serious effort to actually pay attention to the plot this time - it's something to do with tin mining, I think [hesitant]

The hair bugs me yes. I can't speak for now but the actresses were instrumental in the hair changes in the 70s. Don't know why it's all to cock in this one.

I'm on countdown ... 40 minutes to go

On the subject of hair: why has Ross had a perm this series?

I don't know about a perm but it could do with a good wash. He's looking a bit greasy.

Aunt Agatha steals the scene as usual

I thought the ridiculous horse-bolting intro was a nightmare of Elizabeth's, it was beyond parody.

Oh a wedding! Wasn't expecting that. Love Dr Enys.

Sneaky Elizabeth.

I know Ross doesn't deserve her but I want him and Demelza to be happy again

She needs to get up and walk around. :o

Will the child be born with a mop of black curls and a tricorn?

I can't remember. Does Warleggan know Ross is really the dad?

squoosh

No, he doesn't MyOtherProfile

Ross eavesdropping on this entire scene is a bit ridiculous

Poor little Valentine, cursed by the black moon and aunt Agatha, if only he had a loving daddy to protect him........

Aunt Agatha is nailz isn't she? I love seeing her put the frighteners up Georgie boy.

What a travesty of Winston Graham's books. Totally pathetic, no disrespect to the able actors but it really is pants.

Valentine is a great name for a male mini Ross. Swoonsome.

I'm not an avid watcher so can someone please tell me What happened to Ross and Demelzas son?

He was there - when Demelza and Prudey were sitting at the table and talking.

I hope it's not an anticlimax.

Ah. I assumed they'd borrowed the Eastenders Kiddie Cupboard :o

Chatelaine that's interesting. I only read 1 and it was eons ago. Anything in particular?

So Ross knows the baby is his. Elizabeth knows the baby is Ross's. Demelza knows the baby is Ross's. Even the old aunt knows who the father is. It's like an 18th century Eastenders.

I do like Dwight and Caroline though. And Morwenna. (haven't read any of the books so no idea what to expect).

It was pure camp, wasn't it?

I have to confess to having a snigger when Ross was looking tortured on the beach, shaking his head then breaking into a Tom Cruise run. Thats ACTIIIIIINGGGGG!!!

In the books Ross and Demelza suspect the baby may be Ross's but aren't sure. It's isn't spelt out for the reader either, though pretty easy to pick up between the lines.

In the TV series, however, the baby practically has a big arrow pointing to him in every scene saying 'I am Ross Poldark's child'
