We at HQ are very perplexed...

Well worth a read, Lucy.

I didn't bother re-reading Book 1 and started with Demelza - Book 2. I finished book 5 by the end of last winter so I guesss you could say I was hooked!!

No doubt the new series will have me downloading book 6. I think there are ten in all!!

I'm with Charley and all the other non-watchers. I saw one episode and didn't take to it at all. Sorry!

Is it me? The BBC doesn't seem to have many original thoughts these days; they keep doing re-hashes of their old successes as if they have run out of ideas.

Can't say I am over-excited!

However, Cold Feet - can't wait, hope it's not a let-down, anniebach!

It can't be on at the same time as Poldark though, because Lord Melbourne (sorry, Victoria) is on at that time. Daft, but worth watching for Rufus.
Ross is just a little boy.

Yes, Lully but who can resist a man in uniform!!!

Doesn't Cold Feet start next Sunday ?

I have no interest iin this Poldark remake, loved the original series,

Poldark who?

What is it about 18th century costumes and men? Sean Bean was wonderful in Sharpe but not so in modern gear? I shall watch Poldark, my guilty pleasure. Then Dragon's Den on catch up.

It does not appeal to me in the slightest. I don't like these swashing and buckling period dramas at all whoever is in it.
That's another Charleygirl here.

I was living in Cornwall when the first series was on. one Sunday evening - it was the week after we finished with the cliff hanger of Ross hiding from the soldiers- we had a thunder storm and all the power went off.Disaster! On Monday morning the mobile library came to the village. We all gathered there complaining about missing Poldark and it turned out that the librarian had been able to watch it! So instead of choosing books we got her to recount the entire episode.

I can't wait! I was living abroad when the first adaptation aired so missed it, but I loved the books and loved the first series of this one. Roll on Sunday (and I'll be watching Victoria afterwards as well). Perfect.

I will definitely be watching, I love Sunday evening drama, Sheer escapism.

I didn't watch it first time round and not watching this version. Not my type of thing - but if it's yours I hope you enjoy it.

I don't know, Ana but whatever it was I definitely saw it!

I agree about Angharad Rees, she was wonderful in the part. But what on earth did we all see in Robin Ellis?

Loved the original series but I thought the new one was very disappointing. Apart from Ross and Demelza all the characters seemed to be interchangeable, and the new ones aren't a patch on Robin Ellis and Angharad. Don't think I'll bother with it anymore.

Thank goodness for ITV+1. I'll be able to watch Poldark then Lord M.

Haven't told DH the glad tidings yet.

I didn't watch either but I'm loving Lord M in Victoria.

Don't like Dragon's Den either. I will probably be knitting or sewing.

Another 'Charley' here.

Same as Charleygirl

Never watched it, won't this time either
