Aidan and Eleanor news // Poldark Episode 8 post
Aidan wants Poldark to run for years. Speaking to RadioTimes.com he said, “In the first series we covered the first two novels and there’s 12 in total. Winston [Graham] has given us the stories. I think it could maybe go on for four or five series.”

In the 10 month wait for the next series we will be able to listen to Aidan Turner's Sexy Voice™ as he is following Stephen Fry and Gillian Anderson by joining Radio 4 programme 'A History Of Ideas'.
BBC Blurb: 'You can hear the actor, who plays Ross Poldark, explain some philosophical concepts such as What Is Love? Should You Believe in Miracles? and Wittgenstein's Beetle in a Box analogy this coming July on Radio 4.'
Aidan says, "I think it’s a great project to be involved in. The scripts are witty, clever and very sharp; they’re ideal for a quick hit if you want to know what some of the heavy weights of intellectual history were about and how their ideas formed debate and influenced the minds of future generations."
BBC Radio 4 did a profile on him with lots of people saying he's terribly nice and very good at snooker.

Eleanor was visited ITV's "Lorraine" last week and looked fab!
She talked to Lorraine about Aidan and criticism of his scything:
"I don't care [about Aidan's scything technique]. I think it's ridiculous, I really do. I don't think any of us are looking at his scything, to be honest with you.
"He's a brilliant actor. He's very generous as a performer, which is great to work off of. And obviously, we get along very well."
She said a role like Demelza doesn't come along very often and she is best friends with Heida Reed (Elizabeth).
In other news, during filming she fell for Aidan's horse riding double and they are very loved up. He looks like this
