The BBC first adapted Winston Graham's novels about a Cornish land owner back in the '70s, but even fans of that original series seem to have been won over by the remake, mostly due to Aidan Turner's brooding turn as the (seriously problematic) Ross Poldark. As well as being a gripping drama, this show is like one long advert for the Cornish tourist board, with sweeping shots of the county's dramatic cliffs and wide, sandy beaches in every episode.
