Poldark S5 films at Bristol Old Vic

philip-vile_auditorium_vil_1851

Poldark‘s season 5 filmed some scenes at Bristol’s Old Vic Theatre last week according to Bristol Live (thanks to Twitter user joaniebluetoes for providing us with this information and link!).

It appears that this is when and where Andrew Gower at least filmed some of his scenes for the upcoming season of Poldark as his character’s history ties in nicely with this.

On the evening of Thursday 15th May 1800 King George III visited the Drury Lane Theatre to watch a performance of a comedy called ‘She would, and she would not’ by Colley Cibber. When he entered Royal Box the orchestra struck up ‘God Save the King’ and everyone stood to attention – except for one man. James Hadfield was near the orchestra pit; he turned towards the Royal Box, drew out a pistol and fired at the King, missing him by a few inches.

We cannot wait to find out more about how this part of history plays out in the overall plot of Poldark!

If we interpret Andrew Gower‘s latest Instagram post correctly, he’s filmed some scenes for the upcoming (and presumably last) season of historical period drama Poldark.

James Hadfield is an actual historical figure, a solider in the French Revolutionary Wars, who attempted to assassinate the British King George III but was acquitted of attempted murder by reason of insanity.

Sounds like a “killer” of a character for Andrew to play!

Filming of Poldark‘s 5th and final season has been underway since September 2018 and it is scheduled to be released later this year. No release date has been announced as of yet, but we’ll keep you posted as soon as we find out more!

Happy St. Andrew’s Day!

Today, 30 November is Saint Andrew’s Day, a holiday celebrated in many countries and especially in Scotland where it is the official national day. Saint Andrew is also the patron saint of Scotland.

In Scotland, and many countries with Scottish connections, Saint Andrew’s Day is marked with a celebration of Scottish culture with traditional Scottish food, music and dance. In Scotland the day is also seen as the start of a season of Scottish winter festivals encompassing Saint Andrew’s Day, Hogmanay and Burns Night. There are week-long celebrations in the town of St Andrews and in some other Scottish cities.

Gallery Update: Charlie’s Restaurant

Andrew at Charlie's

In a “blast from the past” we’ve added three photos from 2011 to our gallery when Andrew attended the opening of Charlie’s Restaurant and Bar in Harpenden (UK) along with some of his Monroe co-stars.

The pictures have true historical value as the restaurant building was apparently demolished in late 2016.

Visit our Gallery to see more pictures of the event!
