Early tips for autumn viewing

BRITISH TV channels have been quick off the mark in revealing some of their big shows for the autumn season. Here’s a selection:

POLDARK, BBC ONE

Whether the bare chest of Irish actor Aidan Turner (Ross Poldark) will make an appearance in the second series of BBC One hit drama Poldark is yet to be seen. But what we do know is there’ll be plenty of drama as he traverses new family, new loves and new battles, against the stunning Cornish clifftops and countryside. Lookout for a ‘charged encounter’ between Ross and his ex, Elizabeth (Heida Reed), too, which has reportedly been tamed down from Winston Graham’s fourth Poldark book, Warleggan.
