"BBC One has announced full details of its new Poldark adaptation. Aidan Turner and Eleanor Tomlinson will lead the cast of the sweeping Cornish saga as Ross Poldark and Demelza.  Red Riding actor Warren Clarke (Ross&amp;#039;s uncle Charles), Whitechapel star Phil Davis (Ross&amp;#039;s manservant Jud) and Skins veteran Alexander Arnold (Ross&amp;#039;s farm hand Jim Carter) will also appear in the forthcoming drama. Winston Graham&amp;#039;s Poldark novels were previously adapted by the BBC in the 1970s, with Robin Ellis cast in the lead role of Ross. Ellis - now 72 - will also appear in the new series, taking on the part of Reverend Haise for two of the eight episodes.  Executive producer Karen Thrussell said: &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re so thrilled by the Poldark cast, and we feel particularly privileged that Robin Ellis has agreed to join this stellar lineup - it&amp;#039;s a great tribute to Debbie Horsfield&amp;#039;s scripts. &amp;quot;Robin is looking forward to returning to Winston Graham&amp;#039;s world, and we will be welcoming him with open arms! We can&amp;#039;t wait to start shooting next week and begin this epic journey in the stunning Cornish landscape.&amp;quot; Poldark will start shooting across Cornwall and Bristol next week and will transmit on BBC One in 2015.
