Last night's Poldark left everyone ridiculously hot and bothered...

SINCE POLDARK DEBUTED a few weeks ago, television viewers have been mesmerised by the smouldering gaze of Irishman Aidan Turner.

Case in point:

Last night, the third episode of the historical drama aired and successfully got everyone all hot and bothered, thanks in no small part to Turner’s naked torso.

Whoops!

Some saw it as the perfect antidote to Sunday night fear/Monday morning blues

A shirtless Poldark wielding a scythe should be on TV every Sunday evening from here to eternity. In a good mood for work now #Poldark

While others wondered about the scene’s lasting cultural legacy

Is that shirtless threshing scene going to have the same impact as Mr Darcy coming out of the pool, all wet shirted? #Poldark

Others have started to wonder if the shirtless scenes are getting a bit gratuitous, though…

And others pointed out the double standards

BBC continuity drooling over shirtless possibilities in #poldark. They wouldn't do that if it was a girl
