AnonyMouse_19782 Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Captn Poldark - really! I'm left all of a dither. BTW - how did she do the dress up in the first place? Quote
AnonyMouse_2127 Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 I thought the same thing panders. Who laced the bodice up in the first place?? V Quote
AnonyMouse_30128 Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 she obviously put it on back to front and tied it loosely.......only to turn it round and pull the strings tight!!!!! (oh and panders i now have an image of a panda in a lace corset!) Quote
AnonyMouse_73 Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Hmm yes my thought too. In the earlier scenes I didn't think it was done up! Not that I was watching of course...I have no idea what you are talking about! 1 Quote
SueFinanceManager Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 But apart from trying to work out the technicalities of getting into the frock are you enjoying it? I have to say I am...when I was little my mum watched the original and I was always sent off to bed in good time for her to settle down and watch it Quote

I have to say I am...when I was little my mum watched the original and I was always sent off to bed in good time for her to settle down and watch it I do remember it being on, but don't think my parents would have watched it - certainly not dad's cup of tea! I thought it went on for endless series or maybe I'm wrong. I was surprised by the trailer at the end regarding the future for Poldark and Demelza! All seems a bit quick, they usually drag that sort of thing out forever. Quote
AnonyMouse_14268 Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Cor wish there really were some Ross Poldark lookalikes down here!! Enjoying the series but have to say the Cornish accents are quite dodgy. 2 Quote

Ah but an excellent showcase for your beautiful county,zigzag.I saw the first series.....Poldark then was pwoah....and now even more pwoah........I think the plot is speeding along a bit though x Quote
AnonyMouse_73 Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 I am sadly old enough to remember watching the original! I am enjoying it. And was that the original Mr Poldark as the Judge? Quote

AnonyMouse_14268 Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Ah but an excellent showcase for your beautiful county,zigzag.I saw the first series.....Poldark then was pwoah....and now even more pelage........I think the plot is speeding along a bit though x Oh yes, I am so lucky to live here. Gorgeous beaches less than half a mile away surrounded by beautiful countryside. I know its not where everyone would like to live but I LOVE IT. Only downside is that our nearest small town and supermarket is a 22 mile round trip away and you do have to travel a long way to get anywhere!! Wish there were a few more Ross Poldarks in my village!! 1 Quote

(oh and panders i now have an image of a panda in a lace corset!) Re page 25 Daily Mail today (24.3.) People are asking who did the dress up in the first place, A spokesman for the Poldark production team said "Of course Demelza could have got the dress off by herself!!!. But why the hell would she want to?" Frankly I think they miss the point - that dress was laced up properly in the shot where Ross undoes it, yes it could have been tighter granted but there is no way she could have got it undone without help, - but it is the continuity that looks daft here not the reason she wanted him to take the dress off.

AnonyMouse_30128 Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 I have of course tried this with my extensive collection of corsetage ( :blink: ) and i can confirm it is possible ..if you have elongated double jointed arms ....which is normal isn't it? :rolleyes: 1 Quote

Wish there were a few more Ross Poldarks in my village!! I am in a small Suffolk village,40 mile round trip for anything resembling a Tesco/Sainsbury etc....but had my honeymoon in Indian Queens in 1971 in the days when it took 12 hours to get there LOL...Also lots of lovely hos there since and one special one camping in Trewhiddle where we made some friend 20 years ago and still seeing each other....lovely memories xx 1 Quote
AnonyMouse_7227 Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 I wondered exactly the same, but if Ross Poldark was nearby I would certainly need some "assistance" with my corset. 1 Quote
AnonyMouse_3139 Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 I havent watched any yet, but tomorrow I'll have the ironing board in the living room so I can watch the recorded programmes so far. Really, really looking forward to it now :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Quote
AnonyMouse_26037 Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Right enough already - I'm off to download - need to assess the situation for myself! I haven't seen any of it, hadn't even really registered it was on but am now just intrigued to know what everyone is on about! Last 20 minutes did someone say?! Quote
