Thus, it came as a surprise when the production team revealed that none of the cast or crew stepped foot in Italy to film the shots.

mp sf list 0 title: Aidan Turner (Ross Poldark)
mp sf list 0 description: For five seasons, star Aidan Turner has brought the heroic Ross Poldark to life. At the end of Season 4, after Elizabeth s tragic death, Ross and Demelza find themselves on firmly solid ground, and all appears well at Nampara, for now. Needless to say, however, Season 5 will bring new adventures right to the Poldarks doorstep, as it always does. It has been incredible taking him on this journey, Turner said of filming the final season and saying goodbye to Captain Ross Poldark. I was watching some clips of scenes from series one and one of them was when Eleanor [Tomlinson] was singing in the parlor and we all look so young. It is when I reflect on moments like those that all the emotions come in and it makes me think about how much Ross has grown and how much I have grown and learned and what these characters have been through.
