'She says no three times... and that makes it rape': BBC sparks fury over Poldark scene showing star forcing himself on a former lover... but what do YOU think, violent criminal or cad?


In an episode to be broadcast tonight on BBC1, the central character, Ross Poldark, forces himself upon his former lover Elizabeth (left). 


He uses violence repeatedly and she says no to his advances three times. Elizabeth repeatedly attempts to resist his advances and the scene ends with him pushing her on to a bed before having sex with her (right, one to six). The BBC insists that the scene shows consensual sex - but it has angered rape campaigners, legal experts and MPs, who have all watched a preview.
