text: For eight weeks, the sight of a shirtless Aidan Turner swinging scythes and standing up to the nefarious Warleggans has been getting the nation hot under the collar. Now, less than 12 hours after Poldark ended with a dramatic cliffhanger, disgruntled viewers have taken to Twitter to complain of 'withdrawal symptoms' - and  urge the BBC to hurry up with series two. 'As if the Sherlock hiatus wasn't bad enough... experiencing #Poldark withdrawal symptoms already,' tweeted fan Mihaela Doaga within minutes of the closing credits. Scroll down for video . To be continued... Poldark ended last night on a dramatic cliff-hanger with the main man hauled off to jail . 'Ahhhh #Poldark, I'm not OK!,' wrote another, adding 'T'int right, t'int fair, t'int proper' - a reference to the catchphrase memorably deployed by Poldark's malingering servant, Judd. Others complained of having their Monday morning blues made worse by waking up to the prospect of going months before seeing Mr Turner, 31, and his famous abs on screen once more. 'The morning after #Poldark ends and amazingly, the sun has managed to rise in the sky,' wrote Turner fan AM Scanlon. 'Have a good week everyone, or as good as it can be.' Another, Luci Gosling, added: 'Waking up to a week with no #Poldark to look forward to. Gawd, life is tough.' Bereft: Poldark fans such as Suze Smith took to Twitter to complain about the show ending . Missing out: Fans say they have nothing to look forward to now the show is over . Not quite true: Poldark will be replaced in the schedules with Sheridan Smith drama, The C-Word . Painful: Others said they were experiencing withdrawal symptoms less than 12 hours after the finale . The drama has proved one of the most successful of 2015 so far, pulling in an average of 5.9 million viewers per episode and a massive 6.1 million for last night's finale. Much of that is due to Mr Turner and his smouldering looks which, combined with regular shirtless scenes, have produced a collective swoon among female viewers. But it hasn't all been plain sailing for the drama, which has been renewed and will start filming again this autumn. Poldark's famous scything scenes have sparked complaints from professional mowers who say Turner's scything techniques aren't up to scratch. 'The story of Poldark highlights the romantic aspect of the scythe and its use in history but we weren’t very impressed with Aidan Turner’s scything,' said expert mower Chris Riley, 56, last week. Next year: With filming on season two of Poldark due to start filming this autumn, fans are in for a long wait . Popular: Aidan Turner and his famous abs have been the highlight of the show for many women . 'There was a lot of sweating and grunting going on but the only time you’d mow like that would be in a competition.' At the end of March, an #AskPoldark wheeze launched by the BBC's social media team also descended into farce after viewers bombarded Mr Turner with indecent proposals. 'How do you ever stop looking in the mirror?' asked one fan. Another added: 'My mower has packed in - would you come round and scythe my lawn please?' Although the 31-year-old made a stab at answering many of the questions, he left the more risqué queries go unanswered. While the second series of Poldark isn't due to air until 2016,  Mr Turner's legion of fans can take some consolation from The Secret Scripture, an upcoming thriller in which the Irish actor stars. Scheduled for release later this year, it co-stars Melbourne-born actor Eric Bana, 46, The Social Network star Rooney Mara, 30,  and veteran actress Vanessa Redgrave, 78. Got withdrawal symptoms? Meet the hunks set to light up the big and small screens this summer . Poldark might be no more, for this year at least, but there's no shortage of cinematic and small screen crumpet, much of it shirtless, around this summer. Along with Mr Turner's upcoming role in The Secret Scripture, Clint Eastwood's handsome 29-year-old son Scott will please the ladies during his shirt-free scenes in new film, The Longest Ride. Like father, like son! Clint Eastwood's son Scott will be shirtless in cinemas from this June . Magic Mike: Channing Tatum and the strippers will be back in July with Magic Mike XXL . The film, which gets its UK release in June, co-stars Britt Robertson and tells the story of a former champion bull rider and his quest for love. Less romantic but with a whole lot of pecs appeal is the second instalment of Magic Mike; the Channing Tatum film about the exploits of a troupe of male strippers. Entitled Magic Mike XXL, it opens on the 4th July and along with 35-year-old Tatum, also features the Poldark-esque Joe Manganiello, 38. Also on the way is Southpaw, a boxing film starring a bulked-up Jake Gyllenhaal, and the remake of National Lampoon’s Vacation which features Australian muscleman, Chris Hemsworth, 31. Beefy: A bulked-up Jake Gyllenhaal will be appearing in boxing film Southpaw from the end of July . Lots to see: Chris Hemsworth, seen here in a Saturday Night Live skit, will appear in National Lampoon's Vacation and is currently starring in superhero flick, Avengers: Age of Ultron as Norse god Thor . Razor cheekbones: 29-year-old Tom Hughes will be appearing in The Game on BBC2 from this Thursday . Should the 31st July not be soon enough, Mr Hemsworth is currently reprising his role as Norse god Thor in superhero action-fest, Avengers: Age of Ultron. The small screen also has plenty to recommend it, beginning with new BBC2 spy thriller The Game which starts on Thursday and stars the razor-cheekboned Tom Hughes, 29. Season two of Vikings, starring another handsome blonde Australian in the shape of 35-year-old Travis Fimmel, is currently underway on History while those with Amazon Prime can enjoy the sight of Sam Heughan, 34, flexing his muscles on Outlander. Game of Thrones also has a pleasingly high muscle count, with Michiel Huisman (Daario Naharis) and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lannister) among the hunks worth switching on for. Smouldering: Sam Heughan, 34, has been winning over viewers with his performance in Outlander . Handsome: Travis Fimmel is seen here making the Dark Ages look appealing in History's Vikings . Good look: Dutch actor Michiel Huisman (Daario Naharis) shows off his rippling abs in Game of Thrones .
