Poldark star Aidan Turner has admitted that the cast of the period drama were "scared" of mumbling complaints during filming.
The actor - who will lead the cast of the BBC One adaptation of Winston Graham's acclaimed books - said that the furore created by Jamaica Inn affected the cast.
Hundreds of viewers complained about sound issues during the first episode of Jamaica Inn last year, with many suggesting the problems came from cast members mumbling their lines.
Turner told the Radio Times: "I didn't see the show Jamaica Inn but the fuss about it spooked us all a lot.
"We started shooting a few weeks later and I can tell you all the actors were aiming for 10 out of 10 on enunciation. I'm doing posh RP (Received Pronunciation) anyway so it didn't really affect me directly but I was scared."
The Being Human actor is joined in the adaptation by Eleanor Tomlinson as Demelza.
