Narrative
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'm not surprised at the incredibly shallow "whining" of some, "wah wah, Rupert Campbell-Black was blonde and blue-eyed."Well, when I first saw Alex Hassell, I couldn't believe those eyes, and how he just carried this undercurrent that would bury RCB. He's enormously well cast, and as a 40 year fan of all of Jilly's books, I have zero problem at all with Mr. Hassell. His eyes surpass any idea I might of had of who might play Rupert. And that is a remarkable thing for someone to achieve, when the idea of who RCB is, what he looks and acts like, was so ingrained.Well done…I bet Jilly's happy!
