Filming for series four is already in full swing, and yesterday the BBC shared a shot from the set with the young Davison in full Poldark garb.

Davison replaces Harry Marcus, who played Geoffrey Charles in Poldark series three.

Davison's older sister Georgia Tennant – who's married to fellow Doctor Who star David Tennant – celebrated the latest family acting success on Twitter.

While the actor who previously held the role wished his successor luck.

Many Poldark fans are sad to see Marcus go:

Davison comes from a venerable family - as the son of Fifth Doctor Peter Davison, and the brother-in-law of Tenth Doctor David Tennant - so there is no cause to think he won't be able to adequately fill Marcus' shoes.
