Yes, Poldark! He’s back for season two on PBS Masterpiece and the BBC. While Aidan Turner doesn’t have a long resume of historical costume movies and TV shows, what little he’s done has endeared him in the hearts of many a frock flick fan. Turner also played a key role as a short guy in a certain fantasy series, but repeat after me: That’s not what we review here. M’kay?
Bedoli in The Tudors (2007)
Season one, episode one, didja blink and miss him? I did!
Dante Gabriel Rossetti in Desperate Romantics (2009)
Satisfying my dreamy Victorian literature jones.
Philip Lombard in And Then There Were None (2015)
Lookin’ sharp in the 1930s.
Smokin’ hot.
Ross Poldark in Poldark (2015-present)
Military style.
All casual, man of the people.
Just chillin’.
Doing some scything. No shirt needed.
All tuckered out!
Tell us about your fantasies of Aidan Turner in (or out of) historical costume!
Besides the certain short person role in the unnamed fantasy series, my favourite Aidan Turner is Desperate Romantics and Poldark. He’s so HOT *fans self* as Rosetti and the embroidered waistcoat photo is only half the hotness. His Ross Poldark can chill out in my pool anyway. BTW I stopped getting notices of new posts. Is there a reason?
Moi aussi. I was wondering whether I’d been cut off for reasons I didn’t know.
We’ll look into it, thanks for pointing out the issue :)
Yup. Me too. No email about the MCM post :-(
Last time I hate-watched “The Tudors,” in the opening scene, I went, “… is that KILI?! IT IS!” and burst out laughing.
#1- as costumes from the Tudors go, it’s not bad
#2- is that vest supposed to look like it’s been run over by a truck every day for a year or did the costume shop team just say “eh, fuck it, imma go home early today”? As a member of such a team I find myself itching with professional pride.
Maybe it was more artsy?
What happened to “THE HOBBIT” films?
Not historical! :)

I love all of his work, but my favorite and it is right up there with Ross Poldark is as Phillip Lombard such a beautiful menace. Played and looked the part just amazingly.
A fine choice of a man crush. :)
That Philip Lombard suit is possibly my favourite 30s suit ever. Fitting for my fave adaptation of the novel.
Sidenote: Eleanor Tomlinson for WCW?
