Best Scenes: Demelza's Song

♪ I'd pluck a fair rose for my love ♪ - We don't film any of Poldark in sequence.

That scene, where I sing to Ross and profess my love, was actually the first scene I ever shot as Demelza.

And that was terrifying.

♪ I'd pluck a finger ♪ - And actually weirdly it's one of the only songs that we didn't redo in the edit.

It's completely natural.

It's as it was on the day.

- You could see there's a sort of real vulnerability in her eyes as she's sings at him.

It's so spell-binding.

♪ Wounded and forlorn ♪ And you can see that even Elizabeth is completely affected.

She thinks, "Oh my God, "I've really lost him now, haven't I?"

- There's the physical part with the blue dress scene and that, just that intense emotion you know.

That they just crashed together and the world's changed.

And then there's this moment in the parlor when you kind of feel like sort of falling in love.

- It's the first time that you realize there's love there as well as lust and you realize that it's totally reciprocated by him.

And in this world, where she's felt so threatened by Elizabeth and George and not so much Francis, but I guess that class divide has really shown itself, she's had to really prove herself.

She's finally being accepted by these people and being loved for who she is and her own strength.

And for me that's really special and I think it's a very key moment for Demelza because it's her time to shine.

And she does so with such elegance and it was really fun to do it.

I loved it.

(applause) - I look a lot younger.

(laughs) I look a lot younger.

I'm standing beside Kyle Soller and he just has a baby face on him.

I saw him recently in The Inheritance, in the play, he was so brilliant in it.

And Jack and he looks so young as well.

I don't think anybody really expects their show to go on for five years.

It's a substantial amount of time.

That's why there was a great sense of completion I think when we shot series five, as sad as it was in many ways, there was a real sense of achievement.

Like, "We've done it, we've made it to the end."

I'm your humble servant and I love you.

- [Debbie] It's the big declaration of love that we've been waiting for.

- [Aidan] It's such a beautiful line as well.

- And it's just the most beautiful moment.

They play it so wonderfully and then she tells him that she's pregnant.

- I hope you will have a little love to spare.

- The dialogue is so beautiful and you really need to invest in it as an actor.

There's so much in it.

Those moments do really do resound.

- In a way it's the absolute pinnacle of their happiness up 'til that point.

It's I think probably my favorite moment.
