Tristan Sturrock, who plays Zacky Martin in Poldark, is returning for season two. The Cornish actor told the Western Morning News that he would start filming on 14 September.

Season 2 of Poldark will be filmed through the autumn and winter.  Tristan said: "The makers of the show want the dark brooding side of the county."

"Last time we filmed in the summer it was beautiful. We didn't have rain and they even had to CGI clouds in as it was so sunny. There were a few backdrops where they wanted raging seas and instead the sea was beautiful, still and turquoise."

Talking about the success of the drama he said: "I have never done a piece of television that has had this sort of impact and it's brilliant to be part of it. We all thought it was good, but you have no idea what reaction it will get when you are filming it.

"You know there are a lot of faithful fans who loved the original series, so it could have gone belly up, I'm just so happy it took off.

"Cornwall got the chance to shine and it is wonderful to be involved."
