Excellent news if, like us, you enjoy perving over your TV screen of a Sunday evening. BBC drama Poldark, starring Aidan Turner as the Cornish eye-candy with a conscience, has been recommissioned for a second series.
The drama has been such a hit with viewers, it helped the BBC score their highest ratings in a decade for the first three months of the year - with a series average of 8.1 million viewers.
"I can exclusively announce that Sunday’s night new phenomenon Poldark that has captured the nations’ hearts has been commissioned for a second series." said BBC1 controller, Charlotte Moore.
"Aidan Turner will return as Ross Poldark and Eleanor Tomlinson as Demelza in a new eight-part series written by Debbie Horsfield that will cover books three and four of Winston Graham’s series."
Rumours were swirling that the show would be back for a second series for a while now, with show insiders telling The Mirror that Turner could "name his price" to appear in the show. They also said Aidan had caught the eye of producers across the pond:
"The role of Ross Poldark has put him in the shop window and movie makers from Hollywood will be beating down his door".
Don't go to America just yet, Mr Poldark - we need you for at least another series!
