Chronology

Follows Rupert Campbell-Black and Tony Baddingham as they have a longstanding rivalry that comes to a head.. Coincidentally, Aidan Turner has previously filmed at Chavenage House (The Priory in Rivals). The same filming location was also used to portray Trenwith House in the 2015 BBC TV adaptation of Poldark.. I am laughing at some of the reviews, clearly by readers who take themselves far too seriously. This is a Jilly Cooper adaptation. It's not a series to be intellectualised or morally judged.It's so much fun.Superbly cast.Yes, RCB's hair and eyes are the wrong colour. As is Taggies hair. But they work. Somehow. RCB will disappoint some for this reason. But Alex Hassell captures everything else about him. Danny Dyer is perfect. David Tennant is EXCELLENT as always. And Aidan Turner is just gorgeous, if slightly young to play Declan. Falters slightly in the final third. But yes It’s fabulous fun. Watched it all in 1 go.
