Poldark season 3 is back way sooner than you think
Reason to be happy today: Series three of Poldark is coming back to our screens, and you know what that means don't you? AIDAN TURNER SHIRTLESS.
The BBC has confirmed the third series will air this summer - no doubt avoiding last year's drama of clashing with ITV's hit period drama Victoria.
A BBC spokeswoman has confirmed the news, saying: "The earlier filming schedule on this series means that we can bring the much anticipated third series back sooner for fans to Sunday nights in June."
