So I have got addicted to a tv show called "Poldark". It is set in what I think is my new favorite part of England. Anyway, the seaside is beautiful with the cliffs and coves, the sandy beaches. The water is a crystal clear bluish green. But the thing is, I don't think I have ever seen a British tv show where it seems every episode has beautiful blue sky days. It seems like every day is wall to wall sun there. I am only up to episode 4 in the first season though.
What are the sunshine hours where Poldark is filmed, anyone know?

The stations in the region range from 1650-1800 hours. I certainly wouldn't describe Cornwall as "sunny", but above par by UK standards.
There's some old dears in the UK forums on CD who always cream over that show, including a mod. Derailed far too many debates.

Probably around 1700-1800 hours. It's no sunnier in summer than anywhere else on the south coast, and blue skies are certainly not in short supply there between May and August.
What other British shows do you watch?

25 and -3 are the high and low extremes of that year it says.
I didn't realise there were parts of Cornwall as dull as Buxton!

I looked through some other years, 2010 never got above 22.6C, 2007 never got above 22.6C or below -2.2C. I had a look at 1993 as well because I know that was a non-summer: absolute max 21.3C, absolute low -1.8C! 1674 mm of rain as well - no thanks. www.tutiempo.net/clima/1993/ws-38090.htmlImagine going on a beach holiday to this ffs  www.tutiempo.net/clima/07-1993/ws-38090.html |

Are those parts of Cornwall that are a lot duller than the coast at higher elevation?

The elevated parts of Cornwall could be mistaken for Yorkshire. Bodmin Moor's highest point is 420m and it looks like this..  |

Even Buxton has never had a year fail to reach 25°C in the years I've lived here. |

The Cornwall stats for December 2015 are insane.. I think some stations had every day above 10C and an average low of 11.5C!

Oh definitely, near where I live the hills make a huge difference to sunshine totals. Only about the westernmost third of that sunshine map I posted above is actually Cornwall though, but it seems less affected than the rest of the wider region even though it has the same kind of hilly landscape from what I know. |

Scilly had an absolute max of 13.8c, and average max of 12.9c, average min of 11.2c and an absolute min of 6.2c. The coldest day had a high of 10.3c, and only 3 other days had highs below 12c. 8 days had minima below 10c. |

Yeah I was in Norwich that month and it felt balmy, down in London it was even milder, I remember many days where I could almost wear a T shirt and our heating bill was much lower! I loved that month, although it was dull sunshine wise |

What other British shows do you watch? As a kid I loved Doctor Who. More recently British crime dramas like Luther. I'm about to get Acorn TV though so I will have tons of British tv shows to watch. British tv shows are far better than American shows. |

Having worked in Cornwall, I personally think the climate there is pretty bad. You can get some lovely days, but it doesn't really get very warm, and the weather changes so quickly. I was working at Culdrose, and every single day seemed to have every season in it! |

There's much better places than Cornwall for hills and mountains. Cornwall is all about the coastline.
