Poldark on BBC1 has become a Sunday ritual, as important as roast dinner, church bells and cracking hangovers.


And with just one episode left in the current run, many will be making extra special arrangements for the series finale next Sunday 26 April.


So what words of advice does Twitter have for preparing for Poldark?

Comedian Julian Clary kicked things off with a handy make-up tutorial.

Just applying a little light foundation and some musk ready for #Poldark time. — Julian Clary (@JulianClary) April 19, 2015

While presenter Lorraine Kelly was fretting about her frock.

I've a date tonight at 9pm – Nampara, Cornwall with Captain Poldark – but what to wear?????? — Lorraine (@reallorraine) April 19, 2015

Nothing particularly indirect about what this fan account was expecting.

20 minutes of foreplay before Ross takes us again. Ready? #Poldark #PoldarkInnuendo — Naughty Poldark (@50ShadesPoldark) April 19, 2015

But they’re right, this could get steamy. Best get the young’uns out of the way.

How can a hall wear a corset?

For some, the night was young.

For others, it was time to snuggle up in bed.

Could this affair be any more serious?

Looking forward to tonight's ep of #Poldark so much I'm starting to feel like I'm dishonouring my 20ish-year love affair with Mr Darcy — Lauren Mulvenny (@LaurenMulvenny) April 19, 2015

This sounds like a man with experience.

OK Ladies. Smelling salts and restorative gin at the ready – its Poldark Time again!! — John Jackson (@jjackson42) April 19, 2015

Good advice: switch off and shut up.

I watch #Poldark similarly to how I watch #DoctorWho. All the lights are turned off and no one can speak until the end credits. I'm serious — Charlotte ◕ᴥ◕ (@charloclarkyx) April 12, 2015

Cast member Ed Browning however was less interested in the lighting and more concerned with the Cornish fare.

Got the pasties and ale ready for tonight's #Poldark It's all gonna hit the fan… — Ed Browning (@TheEdBrowning) April 19, 2015

Yes, it wasn’t all chocolates and wine. Some of the food choices were… not exactly seductive.

Get yer pilchards ready and remove that shirt it be nearly time for that there @PoldarkTV #poldark — natasha m (@nrem511) April 19, 2015

No time to waste! String up…

And begin.
