Aidan gives me the vibes of a stranger I would meet in a coffee shop and talk to for hours. He’s so energetic and down to earth!

[@klaxi100]

Aidan is just class.

[@thisistheworldtoday]

One of the best series ever made... brilliant cast...great love story...amazing script... brilliant sets... terrific character actors... I can’t think of any show that had so many seasons that mesmerized me so... he was truly the most gorgeous manly hero that made it all so intoxicating to watch... the series is unbelievable!!!

[@j.g.s.njayarathna1154]

[@johannakline2899]

He’s so animated when he talks... I could listen and watch to him forever, geez! 🥰

[@catherinedacera]

I love him. He's so beautiful ❤️💙😍. His voice... I just melted....He did such a great job playing Ross Poldark. The dialogue in this show is very captivating. I was hooked. I didn't think I'd like but I can't stop now. He's so awesome. The story is just beautiful in itself.

[@dianamcfadden6517]

Aidan really impressed me with his thoughtful responses, and warmth. I am so glad someone of such quality was found, to play Poldark, to do justice to these excellent books. All the better that Robin Ellis, who played Ross Poldark in the first rendition, which I saw as a young teen in the late 1970's, also played a role in the rendition with Aidan. I highly recommend the rendition starring Robin Ellis as well. Worth owning both Aidan's and Robin's renditions on DVD. I plan to explore Aidan's other roles too, including And Then There Were None. Thank you for providing these wonderful interviews!

[@kate.entrena]

Don't forget Leonardo series, Diana 😉

[@PJean3]

I'M OBSESSED WITH POLDARK!!!!!!! I hope 10 seasons will happen!!!

[@kernow..exp.]

Before they started filming the first series they visited East pool mine and I gave them all a guided tour of the engine house and I treated Aidan like a normal person not a celebrity and he loved it

[@NordicLight365]

Thank you for sharing your wonderful memory! I'm sure that's exactly how he wants to be treated.

[@possumbold]

It’s always great when you like a character, in this case Poldark, to find the actor is charming and honest and committed to the part they are playing.

[@xraymdabm]

Thank you for posting this to KZbin! I especially enjoyed Aidan's discussion of his efforts to create a voice and manner of speech for Ross. As I have commented elsewhere, what I really love about Aidan's invocation of Ross is how completely he extinguished his own exuberance and body language to create a persona and a physical presence for Ross that stands independent of his real self as Aidan. That is his brilliance as an actor.

[@NordicLight365]

+xraymdabm My pleasure! Yes, he is great in this role.

[@elliebrooks7953]

I can't stop smiling whenever I see him laugh

[@rhondagdesignsrhondagwellm4337]

Wow deffinatly a character acter. He has created a totally different character in Ross, that is nothing like himself. Im impressed.

[@freyamccullough8326]

Aidan has so many flavors, like sometimes he looks clean cut, then he looks like goofy, nice guy, then he looks angry and brooding. He must just a really expressive face.

[@dimitrina03]

Man, I just love looking at him...

[@abic4538]

Who doesn't 😍

[@heatherr9668]

hes lovely , gorgeous and love his sense of humour, love his accent, but love his english accent that makes him sound sexier as ross, but who cares hes a good actor who happens to be beautiful too, love everything ive seen him in.

[@barb543]

I love watching Aidan interviews. Aidan and Eleanor were the perfect couple. Excellent choice of people to play these characters. Poldark was one of my most favorite show. I never missed an episode and had a difficult time waiting for the next episode. So sad it has ended. ❤️

[@mangot589]

Barb Samples I’ve always said this is the most excellently cast show I’ve ever seen. I’m sixty, so I’ve seen quite a few. Everyone! is just PERFECT. Kudos to the casting director/s.

[@IssaquahEx]

I remember the original 1970s Poldark, and I begged PBS to "bring it back" for many years! Now, I just wonder how I ever LIVED without the present version! It's going to be a long, hard wait until "some time in 2017." I'm 85 now, and I MUST live long enough to see more POLDARK. Better yet, make it multiple, please! What I wish for ALL of us is Part 3, and then, 4, and 5, whatever! I'm a confirmed addict with no chance of a cure anytime soon!

[@NordicLight365]

+Elaine Cummings/ Oh, I do agree. I believe the story can appeal to everyone regardless of age. Living in Sweden I have not seen the 70's version, but this version got me hooked at once. I wanted to find the books but they are not for sale in any bookshops here. I have found part 1-7 in the library though!! I guess I will have to order the remaining 5 books online. Debbie Horsefield has made an outstanding adaptation of the books - and the casting is excellent. Fingers crossed for as many adaptations as possible!

[@wendyscott8425]

I know how you feel. I'm 70, and you never know what's going to happen. I just hope I live long enough to see the entire series. But my mom is 98, so you have a good chance of living long enough to see them all. People do seem to live long lives these days.

[@wendyscott8425]

I've been reading the books, too. But I'm only a little into the third book. I must say, I like the adaptation better. What can I say? It's just so gorgeous! And then there's Aidan Turner! LOL But the books are the ultimate spoilers, and I like my dramas dramatic. Hard to be that way when you already know what's going to happen.

[@NordicLight365]

+Wendy Scott I have stopped reading the books - for now. Hoping - as many of us do - for more adaptations after the third series.

[@wendyscott8425]

NordicLight365 I'm pretty sure it's going to keep going. As more people discover it through various outlets like Amazon Prime or just sitting in a rack at Cosco, it can only grow in popularity, seems to me.

[@tanyaruttenberg1085]

What I think is so great about Aidan Turner -- his character is so serious, but in real iife he can scarcely contain his glee about his work. I love the part where he talks about Robin Ellis who was amazing in the original Poldark. Aidan Turner definitely does the part justice.

[@IanP1963]

Yes he was good, I remember him in it....Aidan was a twinkle in his Mom's eye !!!

[@rachelchapman7597]

Love this interview,Aidan is so articulate!and gorgeous!

Congratulations Aidan on your marriage. Happiness always. I know you aren't into social media but hope might see this. Canada april 2021

[@limelight1397]

How fast and instant Aidan reacts on the questioning how cautious he is as Ross. He plays him so well that he will be the only Ross Poldark.

[@valeriekokenge659]

He's actually number two Poldark. Robin Ellis was number one.

[@thornbird6768]

Aidan Turner is a fabulous actor and very very good looking , his interviews are honest and entertaining , he has a very natural confident personality , this guy is up there with the Brad Pitts and George Clooneys of this world , Love him xxxxxxxx

[@wendyscott8425]

He's got a perfect nose, too. LOL

[@mitchfall2904]

+Mila A. I agree

[@TheKRodrig119]

I think his personality is more down to earth than Brad and George. That makes h the most attractive of them all.

[@JodyDube]

Aidan seems like a genuinely good guy.

[@EUROWEFILMS]

Speaking as a Cornishman, this series ticks all of the boxes for me. Casting brilliant, photography stunning, locations just perfect, the opening titles & vision mixing has created the dark mystery associated with the era, I would have loved to have been part of this crew. Only one very minor observation, why not a mention or even sight of the ubiquitous Cornish Pasty? Thanks actors & behind scenes crew.

[@mariapimentel880]

So much talent. I can listen to him forever. A true gentleman. Don't change, always be true to yourself.

[@going2sleep]

Awesome show, fabulous acting!

[@johnrussell48]

I love this show. Let's hope it continues to cover all of the books . As well as the acting such stunning production values . Watching Demelza waltzing across the beautiful Cornish countryside with her red hair flowing through the wind. The red hair was Eleanor's idea. Not only a brilliant actress but talented in making sure she had the right look. Aidan brilliant to , acting , looks make up . He is the perfect Poldark

[@NordicLight365]

Yes, stunning indeed. This is perfection throughout - hats off to everyone involved in the making of this epic drama.

[@wendyscott8425]

I heard Eleanor adopted red hair as a nod to Angharad Rees who played Demelza in the 70s version. She might end up keeping it. She says she really likes it now.

[@ferabra8939]

Checking him out as possible James Bond. Yes, he's got the looks. Reminds me a bit of Timothy Dalton. Lots of acting experience too. I bet he's offered at least a test.

[@AD-kv9kj]

Woah, yeah. Turner would be perfect! I was just thinking recently, there's literally nobody touted for James Bond who even looks right. Some have little schoolboy voices, some are terrible actors or have no screen presence and some are in their 50s already. This could be our man...

[@tinat9486]

Timothy Dalton was not a good Bond. Not even close to being strong enough Jmo.

[@jaybonham5641]

I thought he looks like Timothy Dalton. That would be great if he got a blockbuster part.

[@HolandaChiquita]

My father was randomly walking by when my sister and I were watching the scything scene. He's a farmers son and often uses a scythe to cut the grass for our pet goats. He finds it to be a very relaxing activity as well, so indeed didn't understand how someone could be so infuriated and savage cutting...

[@wendyscott8425]

Well, HolandaChiquita, he had a lot on his mind at the time. It was the night after, and he was probably mad at himself for taking advantage of Demelza. He wasn't a guy who slept with just anyone, and he was probably taking out his conflicting emotions on the wheat or whatever that was. :)

[@pamelahicks517]

Yes, I enjoyed it very much!!! Hoping they do carry on until all the books are covered on the show. I'm a long term commitment kind of gal. I'm in love with the show. Yes, I know it sounds silly, but when you genuinely care about the characters, have exceptional writing and acting, and outstanding production then what's not to love.

[@NordicLight365]

+Pamela Hicks Glad you enjoyed it! I had never heard of Poldark or Winston Graham before the series aired here in Sweden last year. I got hooked immediately, such a great story. Currently reading the books, and the series really stick close to them. British drama at it´s best!

I'm rewatching the complete series now in 2021. Too bad they didn't do more. Was there more in the books to make part 6 and 7 ? Could be interesting to return to the story when they are middle-aged with children getting married and the country in a totally different place with a new king. Now that Daniel Craig has delivered his last 007 is there talk about who will play the new Bond ?
