Scenario
It follows long-time rivals Rupert Campbell-Black and Tony Baddingham as their rivalry comes to a head. Coincidentally, Aidan Turner had previously filmed at Chavenage House (The Priory in Rivals). The same filming location was used to depict Trenwith House in the 2015 BBC television adaptation of Poldark. Absolutely amazing – the wit, the allusions, the humor, the characters, the relevance of the 80’s era, the cast, the locations – it’s perfection in a TV show. This type of TV has been missing for at least the last decade – it has everything. Sentimentality and joy, tears of laughter and sadness, nostalgia on steroids and a cast that plays their roles perfectly. I have not one bad word to say about this show. A big round of applause to the writers, cast, crew and everyone else involved. I’m watching this movie for the second time because there are too many memorable lines to catch the first time. Bravo!
