[TV] Rivals.....what on earth!

No this isn't a post about the inferior message board site that used to rival nsc

But it's about another cluster**** from a time gone by based on Jilly Cooper's 1980s raunchy racing novels of cotswold life

It has David Tennant, Danny Dyer, Katherine parkinson and Emily Atack. You see a lot of her!

Mrs ROSM decided to watch this and I was SHOCKED that Disney would be linked with this. I was so appalled that I will need to watch a few more episodes to see how DISGUSTING it becomes

Mary Whitehouse would be spinning in her grave.

I, on the other hand, thoroughly enjoyed the televisual romp.

Even Katherine Parkinson gets her baps out! Danny Dyer then slurps champers from her cleavage........

Useless Little Fact: Emily Atack is Kate Robbins daughter. Kate was in Crossroads but also did the female voices in Spitting Image. She is also Paul Macartney's cousin.

Quite right - I hit the remote to pause/rewind some scenes as I couldn't believe my eyes!

Anyone else open this thread thinking it would be about El Gatwicko?

I think Katherine Parkinson was also in Chekov's tribute to Brighton and Hove Albion.

She plays the only nice human being in Rivals and makes a good pairing (eventually) with Danny Dyer.

I never read the book but me and mrs albionalba binge watched the tv series last week. Hilarious, clunky as anything at times, but a fun soundtrack too.

And even more useless little fact : And the niece of Ted Robbins (Kate Robbins brother) who was Den Perry, the rival club owner in Phoenix Nights.

Denny Mundee once played for Brentford - David Brent was a character from the office. Denny Mundee signed his Albion contract in the manager’s office. Coincidence? Doesn’t seem likely to me

She also represented UK in the eurvision song contest (love enough for two....a bit like her daughter 's character in rivals)

And was in crossroads playing adam chance's love interest (played by brighton based actor tony adams)

And write the original theme song to surprise surprise (sung by cilla black who her cousin paul McCartney allegedly detested)

Loved it, Mrs H and I binged watched over 2 nights earlier this week.

Nicely set up for Season 2.

Don't ever get all dewey eyed about Disney old boy, a long but very enjoyable drinking session one afternoon at the bar in the Beverley Hills Hilton and our drinking partner, a former studio executive told us "The only difference between Walt Disney and Al Capone was Al had a scar!" :lolol:

If that's the only difference is this confirmation that old Walt had syphilis?

In case it helps anyone, the software you are using to access NSC can also be used to access a wide range of adult material.

So a friend tells me.

Kate had a number two single with 'More Than In Love' and was one of the lead vocalists on Spitting Image's No 1 'The Chicken Song'. I own both singles.

Ted was also 'The Guvnor' in a BBC Children's TV show called 'The Slammer' that my kids used to like. It was the first place they saw McFly and Betty Curse and I bought them records by both of them.

The brother and sister are first cousins once removed of Mike McGear from 'The Scaffold' who had a number one with 'Lily the Pink' and I own that single too.

McGear has a brother who has also worked in music.
