Rivals - Time to have a hot bath, trim my hedge and get the MOET out

[RupertCampbellsBack]

Are there any other Jilly Cooper fans out there? I feel ridiculously excited about Rivals coming out.

[Title edited by MNHQ at OP's request]

Unfortunately my one good dress was eaten by the puppy, given to me as a Christmas present. So I have absolutely nothing to wear.

Just get drunk, spray liberal amounts of perfume on and put on THOSE heels....

If there is any hot water left, I suppose ai could wash my hair

I am far more excited about this than I should be for a TV programme! Not sure about some of the casting decisions (Rupert should be blonde!) but it all looks great in the clips I’ve seen.

Am also looking forward to it!

I’ve literally been counting down the years for this. So insanely excited.

I'm really looking forward to it, going to spray Fracas around willy-nilly! Only 2 moans from me, RCB should be blonde and to be honest the actor playing him has always given me the ick. And Mr Wonderful David Tennant (I'm a gushing girl-fan) I'm not too sure of his casting as Tony Baddingham.

Yes!! So excited, questionable casting choices aside.

I’m obsessed and Rivals is my fave.
I have to say Rupert cannot be played by anybody - there has never been a single actor who could embody his beauty. Nobody.
I am looking forward to Danny Dyer as Fred-Fred.
And I often use the phrase ‘in the noddy’ and nobody has a clue what I mean.
My mum was a huge fan. She was a true lady and never swore but I think Rupert told an archbishop to
’flock off’ so she nicked that saying.

Which Chanel is it on?

Yep can’t wait!

Shave it? Surely you mean trim it with the nail scissors that you used to trim the bacon?
Wrap a navy blue towel around yourself while you do it.

Back in the day when I was reading the books I used to picture him as Rick Mayall.

Pretty much exactly like this

RCB definitely should be blonde.

Rupert Penry-Jones would have played him brilliantly.

Leave the poor thing alone, it's not natural.

I can't wait, will probably be disappointed though

Crack out the badedas and call me on a fluffy phone! Cannot wait.

Yes, this. Penry-Jones would have been so much better. The guy they’ve cast is not nearly attractive enough (quite aside from having dark hair).

We shall see much of the cunt-ricide

Cannot. Bloody. Wait.

I cannot wait. I’m another not convinced re the RCB casting but Jilly was an exec producer so if she’s happy then I suppose I can get over myself. All the same #notmyRupert.

Other than that, I will be on the sofa on Friday evening, doused in Diorissimo, glass of Sancerre to hand, absolutely filthy car on drive.

I'm going to subscribe to Disney+ just for this 😁
I have read every single book.

I was until i saw the casting-RCB is just all wrong.
