Also this week I finished watching the first season of Poldark, on rental from lovefilm. I'd only ever seen bits and pieces before, knew the show mostly by reputation, stuck it on my rental list fairly randomly, had it pop through my letterbox also fairly randomly...and was hooked immediately. Hooked enough to barely care that the stupid DVD version features compilation volumes rather than individual episodes, so the show comes in 3 hour chunks (and has a significant amount of material edited out completely).
It's great. I love everyone (almost). They're all so very flawed and human (bad fake Cornish accents and all). Demelza is now my darling.
Why are the BBC remaking this show? The original is so good! All my Downton Abbey-loving flisties should totally get over any irrational fear they may have of 1970s TV and watch it because it's better.
Having said all that, I know I'll watch the remake anyway because: Aidan Turner. But still.
