Anyone remember Poldark? Apparently the BBC are doing a re-make with Aidan Turner playing Ross Poldark. I loved it first time around. We shall see.........

Pebble Mill I wonder why they closed those studios and opened the ones in Manchester. Maybe there is no connection.

More than a naughty vicar Katy! Didn't he kill his first wife with his over enthusiastic sexual activities, or have I made that up? I seem to remember he had a foot fetish which he exercised with his sister in law confused

It's no good I'm just going to have to buy the whole of the original series on DVD. I need Ross Poldark back in my life [swoon]

Filmed in Brum? When would that have been? Must have been after I'd left Brum and then Cornwall.

I just remember Biggins being a vicar, I can't recall what he got up to! Tegan I read an interview with Christopher Biggins (about Poldark) where he said the outside scenes were filmed in Cornwall and the inside ones at Pebble Mill in Birmingham.

So I'm totally linked to the series [even if I was probably living in Manchester when it was first shown]. I know lots of places were called Poldark this and that when we used to go back to Cornwall for holidays.
