I think this one will be interesting to see what happens. Also Aiden Turner will be brilliant as Ross.
On the other hand it will be interesting to see what the new version brings to the table. But the original Ross and Demelza are so definitive in my psyche that I don't know how I will react to the new versions.
I will (try) and watch it with an open mind but it will be difficult for me.

Apparantly it sat on the shelf for years, then ITV snuck it out one Easter opposite some huge BBC blockbuster in the hope no-one would watch.
Exactly lm.
When they announced this series, I was thinking how great the original one was and how could they better it, but why shouldn't they try?. I have never liked the updated Marple's, but others love them so why should I complain?. I will always have my Joan Hickson DVD's to watch, and I look forward to see this new Poldark adaptation.
Anyone younger than 40 will not remember it so the answer is yes, it's a good idea to remake it.
BTW, no don't need a new version, both finished for a reason, yes the fans of the books are passionate to the point of near insanity, but do the BBC or anyone else really have to rely on rehashing a well told costume drama. Are there no other costume dramas that should be tried before reverting back to something that was popular 40 years ago?
