While it's unclear what Captain Poldark was being reprimanded for, fans of the first BBC One series will know that he previously spent three years in the army to avoid charges of smuggling.

He was also seen being taken away to Truro jail by a sergeant at the end of Series 1 on a charge of theft and murder - the likelihood being that George Warleggan had snitched on him.
