Celluloid editorial verdict
What is Rivals about?
Rutshire, 1986: a chocolate-box English county where the battle for a regional television franchise is fought with champagne, adultery and open class warfare. Corinium boss Lord Tony Baddingham poaches combative chat-show host Declan O'Hara, igniting a feud that pulls in Tory MP and serial seducer Rupert Campbell-Black and ambitious American producer Cameron Cook — until Tony's enemies unite behind upstart broadcaster Venturer to burn his empire down.
