DM1STPLEA Harvey Weinstein
Weinstein in
court for two
new charges
EX Hollywood producer
Harvey Weinstein pleaded
not guilty to a new indict-
ment yesterday as his rape
and sexual assault trial was
pushed back to January.
Weinstein, 67, entered
his plea in a New York
state court, as his trial was
delayed by four months.
The indictment accuses
him of two counts of sexual
assault against two women
in 2006 and 2013.
It also discloses that a
third woman, will testify
Weinstein raped her in
1993, although he cannot
be charged for that as too
much time has elapsed.
Weinstein’s legal team
said he would seek to
dismiss the new indict-
ment, calling it “weak”.
He has already pleaded
not guilty to five charges in
the earlier indictment, and
claims any sexual encoun-
ters were consensual.

Cornish plotted dream
bodice-heaving Cornish melodrama
that going cold turkey will feel almost
as tough as a starving peasant’s lot.
Since Aidan Turner first cantered on
to our screens as Captain Ross in
2015, tourism in Cornwall hasboomed as fans realised there was a lot
more to the county than clotted cream.
So, as we bid a fond farewell, we look
at 10 of the things we’ll miss most...

Secret Service. (For Your Scythes Only?)
If Turner does land the 007 gig, we can
only hope the scripts are slightly more
believable than Ross’s farewell caper.
Ross called it his “biggest gamble”,
and the writers certainly took a chance
on whether viewers would swallow the
plot. They threw everything at it for the
finale, and it was brilliantly bonkers –
from half-brothers Hanson and Merceron
suddenly being presented as an
18th-century version of the Kray twins, to
Dwight Enys eavesdropping on Ross’s
conversation with a French general like
some kind of 18th-century Alexa.
Apparently, the French were planningto invade Britain via Ross’s local beach
and he was hoping to double-cross them.
Even without Ross’s espionage, I didn’t
fancy the general’s chances of success.
That stash of guns and
ammo he’d hidden was the
most pathetic arsenal I’d seen
on TV since Arsene Wenger
played Coquelin and Rosicky
in midfield in that 8-2 defeat
at Old Trafford back in 2011.
Things took an even more
ridiculous turn when Ross
was unmasked. A sword duel
with the general ensued and
Ross was only rescued when
his old rival GeorgeWarleggan stormed the gaff with a
couple of lively pistols. Not that I’m
criticising any of this. The more ludicrous
Poldark became over the years, the more
I loved and looked forward to it.
The highlight for me this series was
Horace the dog taking centre stage. It
began with Lady Caroline constantly
carrying him around everywhere like a
posh Bob Carolgees/Spit The Dog combo
and ended with Horace
commenting on the action in
a “conversation” with his
owner. That this all seemed
normal was maybe a sign
Poldark had gone as far as it
could go. Those five series
gave us one hell of a ride.
I still can’t believe the BBC
made this dazzling finale play
second fiddle to those Peaky
Blinders louts. Tweren’t right,
‘tweren’t fit, ‘tweren’t fair.IAN HYLAND

Poldark, BBC
★★★★I
T was fitting that last night’s final
episode of Poldark left the show’s
seven million devoted viewers
dangling. As our hero Cap’n Ross made
his exit to France he made this vow to his
wife Demelza: “I swear to you my love, I
will return.”
Those tantalising words would have
been too much for some fans, who have
spent the past four years wondering
whether Aidan Turner would ever whip
his shirt off again for a spot of sweaty
scything in the Cornish sun. Sadly, unless
Turner’s acting career suddenly hits the
skids, I doubt we will ever see him back in
the swooshy coat and pointy hat.
His name continues to crop up
whenever the question of Daniel Craig’s
successor is raised, so it was a timely
coincidence that Ross was last seenGood it ends before it goes to (Horace) the dogs
DARK MOMENT Ross
ends up in sword fight10 things we’ll miss
most from Poldark
WELL, that’s about the scythe of it- there’ll be no more Poldark.
Over five highly addictive series we’ve
become so hooked on the
Ross
Being an all-round
stand-up gent, running
into collapsing mines,
condemning the evils of
slavery, and feeding
Cornwall’s entire scurvy-
ridden peasant populationwith apples. But especially
when he got his shirt off.
That scything scene still
sells keyrings in Cornwall.
And then there was the
lesser-known tin bath
scene. Google it: better
than therapy.The love triangle
You were Camp Demelza or
Camp Elizabeth. (Mainly
Demelza, though.)
Even after Elizabeth’s death,
the threat to Demelza’s finally
perfect marriage lingered in
the form of Valentine, Ross’s
secret child with his first love,
with the same hair as his dad.18th-century
Cornish
As seen in phrases
including “T’int right”
and “I’m not a’feared” –
and in the correct
pronunciation of
Poldark: “pol–Dark”.The theme tune
Who didn’t picture
themselves riding
along a clifftop as the
credits rolled? Strings,
harp, and a violin solo.
It’s certainly time to
get out the violins now.The Poldark pug
Permanently attached to
the underside of Lady
Caroline’s arm, his original
role may have been to hide
actress Gabriella Wilde’ s
baby bump, but he made
that part his own. Spin-off
series, anyone?Demelza
Particularly her ability
to warble a Cornish
ditty while grinning.
Yes, it was awkward,
but Cap’n Ross was
always completely
spellbound. It’s how she
won her man.The scenery
Who knew? The empty
sandy beaches, deserted
coves and turquoise
waters, all completely
unspoilt by the droves of
Poldark tourists and
their selfie sticks who
now flock there.Prudie
Especially when she had
husband Jud to bicker
with, perma-drunk on
Poldark’s port.
Her loyalty to
Demelza was
a beautiful
thing.The utter good egg-ness
of Dr Dwight Enys
While Ross had his flaws, Dwight was
ahead of his time – sensible,
brilliant in a crisis, and never
afraid to speak his mind. Life
should be lived by his compass.
If in doubt, ask yourself:
“What would Dr Enys do?”The earnestness
Particularly Drake and
Morwenna Carne. Yes, a little
sickly but oh, so heartfelt.
They taught us patience
and true love wins out,
and living the simple life in
a blacksmith’s hovel is the
route to all happiness.BY EMILY RETTER Senior Feature Writer
