New series starts Sunday BBC1 9.00pm

I've just re-read some of the books. I remember when the series was on in the 70s, I hope they haven't spoilt it in the remake.

I'm looking forward to the re-make of Poldark.

I was not a massive fan of the previous series, probably because I was young and missed several episodes due to going out and enjoying myself :)

Only hope Cornwall won't be too crowded when I visit in May.

Just to make you jealous, I remember spending part of a pleasant evening chatting to her.

We were providing the dance music for a birthday party and she turned up with her then partner/boyfriend, Alan Bates. The birthday girl looked after Alan's house whilst he was away and, whilst he was otherwise engaged during the interval, she came over to chat to us.

The disappointing thing; I had no idea who she was - until I climbed into bed that night and told my wife that I'dbeen chatting to some actress called Angharad Rees.

I loved it so much back then that when my oldest son was born I called him Ross (38 years ago).

I took the baby in to work to show him off to my work pals and one of the lads said " if the next one's a girl are you going to call her Esmerelda (he meant Demelza LOL) "

Three years later and my next one was also a boy  ;D ;D ;D

I've circled it in the Radio Times,but I'm not sure if we're going to watch it or not.
Can't improve on the first one ! And we do watch Mr Selfridge  ;D

I did read most of the books too,but was surprised to hear on The One Show that Winston Graham carried on writing them (from 1945) until 2002.
