Poldark leaves viewers flustered with topless scene
The first episode of the BBC‘s new series of Poldark saw a whole sixty minutes go by without the merest glimpse of Aiden Turner’s manicured chest hair.
So, the sight of a shirtless Captain Ross Poldark seducing Demelza ten minutes into last night’s second episode of Winston Graham’s blockbuster left viewers utterly delighted that normal service appears to have been resumed.
One flustered fan even suggested that her ovaries were ‘exploding’ at the sight of the 34-year-old Irish actor disrobing in a dimly-lit room.

The short but intimate scene saw legions of fans take to Twitter to remark on Poldark’s near nakedness
Young pretender to the shirtless throne? Demelza’s brother Drake Carne, played by Harry Richardson, also caused a stir on Twitter after his ‘strip wash’
Others on social media alerted the ‘Poldark’s got his shirt off’ klaxon should be sounded, while some said that showing a near-naked Poldark during a heatwave was frankly irresponsible of the BBC.
Turner’s topless scene came as brooding hero Captain Ross Poldark shared an intimate moment with his wife Demelza.
The couple have put their previous troubles, including Poldark’s passionate affair with Elizabeth Warleggan, behind them and look forward to a happier future.
Aiden Turner suggested there might not be so much nudity in the latest series of Poldark…but last night’s episode suggested otherwise
Meanwhile Demelza looked as thrilled as most of Twitter at the sight of Ross Poldark lying next to her
Poldark tells her: ‘I am a respectable country squire now with a home, a mine, a family, a wife. I shall make the most of what life has to offer – especially you.’
As the pair kiss, the action cuts to a shot of ocean spray crashing against the rocks.
The new series had looked like it was a more modest affair when it comes to gratuitous nudity but there was plenty of flesh on display last night, with Demelza’s brother Drake Carne (Harry Richardson) ‘taking the baton of nudity’, as one viewer described it, by washing in a babbling brook.

The character of Drake, and his other brother Sam (Tom York), cavorting in the surf also suggested that Aiden Turner might be handing over his heartthrob status to a new generation.
On Twitter, @thegillmanator wrote: ‘Demelza’s brothers have excellent genes. They would have better luck with converting if they preached topless however.’
Another viewer, @kieraalouise agreed, writing: ‘Demelza’s brothers are so beautiful.’
