The big talking points on TV this week

Here's what has tongues wagging in the TV WEEK office.
Poldark

1. Poldark: Ross is boss

Our favourite antihero 
is back for more shirtless scything! Last season, Captain Ross Poldark (Aidan Turner) crossed a dangerous line with former flame Elizabeth (Heida Reed). How will it affect his relationship with his wife, 
the fiery Demelza (Eleanor Tomlinson), in season three? No doubt there’ll be much brooding on cliff tops and windswept walks along the stunning Cornish coast.

2. Wanted: Stephen is BACK!

The Peacocke has landed! Yep, Stephen Peacocke returns this week as no-nonsense detective Josh Levine in Wanted. We’ve been keen to see Stephen spread his wings following his days as River Boy Brax in Home And Away. And he’s certainly in the thick of the action in New Zealand.

3. House Rules: Was a baddie a bad move?

It seemed like everyone wanted villains Fiona and Nicole eliminated from House Rules. But now the Victorian besties have been kicked out, doesn’t it feel like the show’s missing something? It’s turned into a reality show just about renovation. Even Cyclone Debbie couldn’t cause as much havoc as this pair. Yes, it’s a reno show, but we like some drama with our drilling!

3. Hamish and Andy: Best guests on a roll

It pays to have friends in high places. In the space 
of just three episodes of True Story With Hamish & Andy, viewers have seen some of Australia’s top talent. They include Craig McLachlan and Fiona Choi, helping 
to portray the hilarious stories of regular Aussies. So who’s next in the star-studded line-up? Perhaps one of The Voice coaches? We’re looking at you, Delta.

5. Home And Away: The next Bonnie?

Home And Away newcomer Sophie Dillman is giving us 
that déjà vu feeling. It could be because she’s blonde and sporty – a perfect fit for the beachside drama. Or because 
she looks uncannily like former cast member Bonnie Sveen, who played Ricky. Sophie’s character Ziggy also has a nose for trouble and chases bad boys. But producers be warned: there can only be one Brax.
