LEADING man Aidan Turner has been baring his chest again in the lavish BBC period drama, but there has been lots of controversy too, including viewer outrage at a harrowing rape scene.

The 19th century moves ever closer in the third series and the revolution in France casts a long shadow over Britain.

Scheming George Warleggan (Jack Farthing) is intent on crushing Ross Poldark (Turner) but Ross's primary concern is rebuilding his relationship with Demelza (Eleanor Tomlinson) at Nampara.

A fragile truce is shattered by the arrival of Demelza's two younger brothers, Sam (Tom York) and Drake (Harry Richardson).

Meanwhile, Elizabeth's pretty cousin Morwenna (Ellise Chappell) secures a position as governess for Warleggan and her privileged role tests family allegiances.

The three-disc DVD and Blu-ray box sets include all 10 episodes.
