'Sumptuous' Netflix period drama fans 'can't believe' was filmed in the UK
Poldark is a historical drama series based on the eponymous novel series written by Winston Graham Penned and crafted by Debbie Horsfield, the acclaimed British telly series Poldark is a historical drama rooted in the namesake novel series authored by Winston Graham. The programme initially broadcast on BBC One for its entire five seasons, spanning from 2015 to 2019, adapting the initial seven of the twelve novels in Graham's series. The series can now be streamed on Netflix and BBC iPlayer. Set between 1781 and 1801, Poldark features Irish actor Aidan Turner in the role of the show's main character - Ross Poldark. Ross is a British Army veteran who served as an ensign in the American Revolutionary War. Upon his homecoming to Cornwall, Ross discovers his father has passed away and left his estate in shambles. The series chronicles his efforts to rebuild his fortune with the help of his maid-turned-wife, Demelza (Eleanor Tomlinson), whilst navigating his intricate relationships with his cousin Elizabeth Poldark (Heida Reed) and his adversary George Warleggan (Jack Farthing). With an impressive average score of 89 per cent across its five seasons on Rotten Tomatoes, one of Poldark's seasons even garnered a perfect 100 per cent score on the review aggregator site. Unsurprisingly, the show bagged the Audience Award at the 2016 BAFTA TV Awards, reports Surrey Live. Production of the series kicked off in Cornwall and Bristol in April 2014, with lead actor Aidan Turner sharing his thoughts on the beautiful Cornish set of Poldark during an interview with PBS: "It was an amazing experience, we were so lucky. We spent about 10 weeks there and we were all over Cornwall. There was a week we had a private, family owned beach to ourselves, in St Alstal. They just gave it to us for the week while we got the best of the British summer. It was just so idyllic, the entire shoot, everything was just so stunning. "People aren't going to believe we shot it in the UK, they'll think we went to Florence or the South of France or something, because it was actually just too beautiful. There wasn't a cloud in the sky. You don't have to leave the British mainland to find that sort of Paradise." Critics consistently expressed positive sentiments towards Poldark throughout its five series run, with one saying: "Such is my addiction to this particular genre that I obviously snorted the entire thing." While a reviewer wrote: "Poldark has proved such a reliable source of Sunday comfort and joy." Another added: " series delivers immediately on the panoramic scenery and romance that this genre demands: plunging cliffs, green fields, galloping horses and burning glances aplenty." Drawing comparisons to a timeless piece of literature, one critic likened the show to a Brontë classic, writing: "Much in the vein of Wuthering Heights, the series mixes class distinctions and romance, offering the kind of classy soap that should help keep Anglophiles' cockles happily warmed between now and more Downton Abbey." One reviewer said: "It's ridiculous, it's sumptuous, it's perfect summer sorbet." Fans are not holding back their adoration, with one saying: "It's literally the finest TV show I have ever watched. From the sumptuous scenes of Cornwall to the characters bulging with life and energy the show delivers at every turn." Adding praise to the protagonist, a viewer said: "Aidan Turner is a dream casting as the venerable Ross Poldark who is charmingly human, fraught with failing and as one of the best protagonists I have ever seen. Debbie Horsfield writes the scenes with skill and sensitivity. The direction is consistent and seems to provide a level of satisfaction that a viewer will not be prepared for." Finally, another audience member added: "Poldark has everything I look for in a TV series: great characters, adventure, drama, joy, romance, inspiration, and feel good moments. The acting and the story are not exaggerated like in a soap opera." One impressed viewer said: "Got hooked quick. The characters are so well casted that they jump out at you and are so believable. Each episode is a roller coaster and twists and turns here and there. Funny in spots and sad in others . It's a fun ride." A fellow fan wrote: "I love and adore this series. Eleanor Tomlinson is an extremely gifted Actress, incredibly talented."

Man Utd dealt huge blow in pursuit of £50m Liam Delap alternative
After missing out on Liam Delap, Manchester United have been dealt a huge blow in their pursuit of another Premier League striker. United looked to be leading the race to sign Delap who caught the eye after scoring 12 goals in his first full top-flight season for relegated Ipswich Town. However, the 22-year-old turned the Red Devils down and is now set to join Chelsea in a transfer worth £30million. Ruben Amorim is desperate to sign a striker this summer to replace the underperforming Rasmus Hojlund, with Napoli's Victor Osimhen and Sporting Lisbon's Viktor Gyokeres among those linked with Old Trafford. Jean-Philippe Mateta is another name on their shortlist following a fantastic two seasons at Crystal Palace, which culminated with lifting the FA Cup in May. Wake up to find news on your club in your inbox every morning with Metro's Football Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your team in the link so we can send you football news tailored to you. The Frenchman has been one of the Premier League's top strikers following Oliver Glasner's arrival at Selhurst Park last year, with only Alexander Isak, Erling Haaland and Mohamed Salah scoring more since then. United's interest in Mateta was first reported in February, with Palace valuing him at over £50m and The Independent now report that the 27-year-old remains an 'appealing' target for the Red Devils. But in a major blow for Amorim, they also report that Mateta wants to play in the Champions League, something United cannot offer after finishing 15th in the table and losing the Europa League final to Tottenham. It is for the same reason that Delap has opted to join Chelsea, while Palace can give Mateta European football as their FA Cup triumph qualifies them for the Europa League. And in a further blow to United, talkSPORT have reported that the striker might sign a new contract with the Eagles over the summer, with his current deal set to expire in 2027. Appearances: 59 Goals: 30 Minutes per goal: 145 Assists: 5 Trophies: FA Cup With their first European venture on the horizon, the south London side will be keen to sort out the futures of their star players and manager Glasner as soon as possible. United are among the clubs linked with Eberechi Eze and Adam Wharton, while Marc Guehi is expected to depart with Newcastle leading the race for his signature. Speaking in February, Paul Merson insisted that Jean-Philippe Mateta would be a perfect striker for Manchester United. More Trending 'Man United should get Mateta, that's what they need,' the ex-Arsenal and England winger told Sky Sports. 'He's a strong lad up front, playing at the top of his game, he leads the line, scoring goals now. He runs and works his socks off harder than anyone you know. 'He's 100 times better than anyone Man United have in the front line. Not Amad [Diallo], he's a young kid – but he's much better than Hojlund and [Joshua] Zirkzee at the moment.'
