As someone who has spent countless hours binge-watching shows from the comfort of my armchair, I can confidently say that the upcoming Disney+ series “Rivals” is destined to become a new favorite. Having grown up devouring Jilly’s Rutshire Chronicles novels, I am thrilled to see one of them adapted for the small screen.


Emily Atack, as part of the Rivals cast, graced the red carpet during the London screening of the Disney+ series on a Tuesday evening.

At the occasion hosted at the Ham Yard Hotel, the 34-year-old actress, who recently welcomed her son named Barney approximately three months back, showcased an elegant appearance in a well-tailored black mini dress.

Emily complemented the look with sheer tights, black heels and gold earrings.  

In the drama, the contestant from I’m A Celebrity portrays the character Sarah Stratton, who is portrayed as an ambitious woman unafraid to leverage her attractiveness.

Emily will be accompanied by numerous actors who feature in the upcoming film adaption of the Jilly Cooper novel, slated for release in the coming month.

41-year-old Aidan Turner sported a stylish purple suit with a turtleneck, while 47-year-old Danny Dyer, another cast member of the eight-episode series, likewise graced the red carpet.

As the devoted admirer that I am, at the ripe age of 53, I mirrored David Tennant’s jovial spirit while playfully interacting with the entire cast and Jilly, engaging in a delightful whirlwind of laughter and camaraderie.

As a lifestyle expert, I can share that in the highly-anticipated Disney+ adaptation of “Rivals” by Jilly Cooper, we’re embracing an inclusive perspective on portraying nudity throughout the series. This means that both male and female characters may be depicted in various stages of undress, reflecting our commitment to authentic storytelling and character development.

This streaming platform is planning to revisit the 1980s classic with a modern perspective, offering a fresh take on the controversial story about sex and scandals within the upper-class English society from the 2020s point of view.

The story focuses on the tense rivalry between Rupert Campbell-Black (Alex Hassell) and Lord Tony Baddingham (David Tennant).

The fast-paced, eight-episode show will start broadcasting from October 18th, yet some viewers are puzzling over how its topics might be adapted for today’s viewers.

During an interview with The Times, Dominic Treadwell-Collins, a renowned writer and producer, shared insights about the eagerly awaited upcoming television program he’s working on, having previously contributed to EastEnders.

He said: ‘We’ve been equal opportunities in our nudity. There’s a willy for every pair of t***.’

He commented: “Jilly appears soft and charming, yet she possesses a keen, unyielding gaze when dealing with issues like sexism, homophobia, racism, and class.

According to Disney+, the show “Rivals” is an exhilarating roller coaster journey filled with playful trickery, intense with passionate love tales, and brimming with vibrant, larger-than-life personalities.

The streaming platform emphasizes its approach of viewing the ’80s through a modern perspective,’ delivering an ‘unpolished examination of a pivotal era in British history where class, race, gender, wealth, and sexual freedom intertwined, creating boundless opportunities for a select few.’

In the world of Jilly’s Rutshire Chronicles, marriages often serve practical purposes rather than being based on romantic love. Wives tend to tolerate and forgive their husbands’ misbehaviors with a shrug, acknowledging that men are prone to mischief.

Men are often praised for their supposedly charming roguishness, a trait that might raise eyebrows today due to its questionable connotations related to weight.

A woman boasts about weighing seven stones, implying that any lady larger than a size six is considered overweight. Another is disparagingly called “heavyset Sharon.

It also features powerful man approaching 40 hitching up with a young woman yet to turn 19.

The cast includes Poldark heartthrob Aidan, ex-Doctor Who David , Sex Education actress Bella Maclean and Alex Hassell, from BBC fantasy series His Dark Materials.

Based on Jilly’s 1985 novel Rivals, it sees two broadcasting titans going to war over a woman.

The Rutshire Chronicles’ book became a bestseller, selling over a million copies and reaching the pinnacle of popularity.

The Disney+ show titled “Rivals” is set to premiere globally, including in the UK, on October 18th, while it will debut on Hulu for U.S. viewers.
