Aidan Turner’s Poldark made quite the mark on British audiences; though, unfortunately for him, it had quite a lot to do with a certain infamous scything scene.
“They were trying to make me take another dip in the sea this time, but it’s not in the books,” he told The Mirror.
So, perhaps it’s unsurprising the BBC drama would attempt to recreate the phenomenon, but it looks as if Turner himself put his foot down on the matter.
The actor’s topless scene was named the best TV moment of 2015 by readers of the Radio Times, earning a whopping 45% of the vote.
