A new director is joining the crew of Poldark to direct episodes nine and ten of season two. Richard Senior joins Will Sinclair (episodes 1-4) and Charles Palmer (episodes 5-8) as the directors of the second series.

Richard's credits include Silent Witness, The Interceptor and Our Girl.  He is the youngest director of Dr Who since its return in 2005 and received a nomination for Director Debut of the Year for his episode Let's Kill Hitler at the MediaGuardian Edinburgh International Television Festival Channel Of The Year Awards 2012. 

Poldark will air in the UK on BBC One in Autumn 2016. Interestingly, however, Richard's information on Poldark could be interpreted as suggesting it will air on MasterpiecePBS in 2016 too.

Update: 14 January 2016
Since writing this post the information on Richard Senior's web page has changed to read: Poldark will transmit in 2016 on BBC One
