Filming for the second instalment of Poldark is well and truly underway.

And on Monday, it’s leading star Aidan Turner was out on the Cornish coast to shoot scenes for the popular BBC period drama series, before taking a break to puff on an E-cigarette.

The 32-year-old, who is reprising his role as brooding Captain Ross Poldark, was fully kitted-out in 18th century costume as he joined co-star Luke Norris on the outdoor set.

Smoke break: Aidan Turner was out on the Cornish coast on Monday, to shoot scenes for the popular BBC period drama series - before taking a break to puff on an E-cigarette

Hard at work: Aidan Turner was out on the Cornish coast to shoot scenes for the second series of Poldark on Monday afternoon

Dressed in a dark velvet-trim coat over a waistcoat and beige trousers, the Irish hunk appeared to be in great and relaxed spirits during the day’s filming schedule.

His attire was completed by a pair of leather boots, a black hat and a white shirt, keeping his rippling abs under wrap - much to the disappointment of eager onlookers.

Meanwhile, fellow actress Heida Reed - who plays Ross' first love Elizabeth Chynoweth - joined co-star Jack Farthing to film new scenes in Penzance, Cornwall.

The 27-year-old beauty was dressed in full 18th century costume - a blue vintage dress, consisting of a billowing skirt and a coordinating bodice.

A velvet-like jacket and an elaborate wide-brimmed hat added an extra layer of warmth to the proceedings as well as a chic pair of leather gloves.

Elsewhere, Jack looked the epitome of an gent in a burgundy great coat, black trousers and a grey waistcoat and white shirt.

Dressed in character, the British actor - who plays Ross' archenemy and sly banker George Warleggan - was styled further with a black top hat and leather riding boots.

Shooting kicked off earlier this month with Aidan reprising his titular role as Captain Ross, while Eleanor Tomlinson returned to the scene as his servant-girl wife Demelza.

The popular series is the second of two BBC adaptations of Graham's novels, with the first aired between 1975 and 1977, which starred Robin Ellis as Poldark.

And while exact details concerning the latest plot are being kept under wraps, fans are in for a treat.

Setting the scene: Extras were seen dressed in various roles as they continued with filming

'Ross Poldark must once again fight for his freedom when George Warleggan tries desperately to steal his mine and have him hanged as a revolutionary,' a BBC spokesperson said.

'Crippled by debts, Ross and Francis try to heal old wounds by joining forces in a new mine free of the Warleggans.

‘But Ross and Elizabeth's feelings for each other cannot be repressed, and Ross risks everything in a desperate smuggling venture.'

The official start date for the second series of Poldark is yet to be confirmed but it will run for an extra two episodes.
