Poldark series 4 - SPOILERS

[carol1234568]

Is coming back very soon! I'm guessing in the next 2-3 weeks.

Who's excited?! I've read all the books and can't wait for the new series.

Presumably George has a snazzy London pad so plenty of room for the family but Ross will be in digs somewhere so D & the children wouldn't have room?

Do you think George might turn out to be infertile?! I haven't read the books so just my guess!

Also the farm/house/estate would go to rack and ruin if Demelza wasn’t there to oversee it all. Couldn’t leave it to Prudie!!

Osbourne and the feet!!

"POLDARK! POLDARK OF NAMPARA!"

That did make me chuckle when Osborne said that 😂

Nothing about Osborne made me chuckle this week. Still recovering from his toe sucking/licking scene. Once you hear his tongue clicking, you can’t unhear it. Hope I recover.

The actor that plays Ossie is good. What a revolting creep. In real life he's actually quite good looking!

The wrestling eye poking scene made me wince...hate any sign of eye gouging
Glad we have got Hugh out of the way was worries it would be dragged on a bit. Interesting to look at the slight and sometimes big differences from the books. I'm still very much enjoying it

@Clionba - Yes I know. It’s amazing his transformation for the role. George though seems creepily similar in all his expressions in real life.

@OnlyonMN - can you imagine making yourself ugly and having to act next to Aidan Turner??!!

after you take out all the long scenes of actors staring wistfully / longingly / regretfully / hopefully into the sea / flames / distance there's only about 10 minutes of storyline. i find i can do a couple of other things at the same time and not miss anything.

the first season was excellent. this one is awfully spun out.

@Clio - I can make myself as ugly as you like with whoever, for the right price , i'm yours.

I really enjoyed it and thought the same about Demelza and the kids not going, there would be no room. I am very sad for them though 😔

We, DH and I shout 'horse!' And mime frantic violins at the wide shot of the crashing sea beyond the cliff path- as either Poldark or Demelza's horse goes flashing by .

Love the lingering shots of Holywell, though, as that was 'my dad's beach', growing up in a Cornwall much removed from today's (b. 1933, Perranporth).

And wow, Christian Brassington is hot!

Can I ask, does anyone remember the original Poldark series? It was me and my mum's thing, Robin Ellis and Angharad Rees?

1975?

I'll get my coat....

@OnlyonMN - I've got £13.75 in loose change if that's enough?
@Tansie1 - I used to love that 70s series. I absolutely had a crush on Robin Ellis. Angharad Rees was a great Demelza... Dare I say better than Eleanor Tomlinson??

Blimey! You'd never know would you?? I wonder how long he spends in make up!

George is not infertile

Also, Zachy Martin scrubs up well!

Ah well woodhill, there goes my theory!

The 1970s series was fantastic. I much prefer it to the new one. So much of the humour is missing. The new R&D are so angst ridden all the time. Robin Ellis and Angharad Rees were perfect in the roles.

Lol

Yes I liked the 70s series

So what do we think is wrong with the new Baby sarah Enys??

Shes never left a pug incharge of her baby?

I hope the baby doesn’t die.

I really liked the episode last night - apart from the baby bit- I normally read book-based stuff before watching but am glad I haven't in this case as each episode/series is a surprise.

Why is Nampara such a slum? They're rich now. In the book Demelza didn't go to London yet because he partially goes to get away from her for a while. He's pissed off about Hugh.
