Coincidentally, Aidan Turner had previously filmed at Chavenage House (the priory in Rivals)
Story
It follows Rupert Campbell-Black and Tony Baddingham as their long-standing rivalry comes to a head. The same location was used to portray Trenwith House in the 2015 BBC TV adaptation of Poldark.
I’m not surprised by the incredibly superficial ‘whining’
Some said ‘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 exuded this undercurrent that would bury RCB. He’s incredibly well cast and as a 40-year-old fan of all of Jilly’s books, I have no problem with Mr Hassell.
His eyes exceed my idea of who could play Rupert
And that’s an amazing feat for someone when the idea of who RCB is, how he looks and acts is so ingrained. Well done…
I bet Jilly is happy!
