Synopsis
Follow Rupert Campbell-Black and Tony Baddingham as their long-standing rivalry comes to a head. Coincidentally, Aidan Turner has previously filmed at Chavenage House (The Priory in Rivals). The same location was also used to film Trenwith House in the 2015 BBC TV adaptation of Poldark. I laugh at some of the reviews that are clearly written by readers who take themselves far too seriously. This is Jilly Cooper’s adaptation of It' it is not an intellectually or morally evaluable series. It’s so much fun. Excellent acting. Yes, RCB’s hair and eyes are the wrong color. So is Taggies hair. But they work. Somehow.RCB will disappoint some because of this. But Alex Hassell captures everything about him. Danny Dyer is perfect. David Tennant is EXCELLENT as always. And Aidan Turner is just wonderful, even if he’s a little young to play Declan. He falters a bit in the last third. But yes. It’s incredibly fun. I watched everything at once.
