<p>Amorous action on Concorde, a naked tennis match between Alex Hassell and Emily Atack, and backstabbing, bottoms and big hair galore. Yes, the Disney+ adaptation of Dame Jilly Cooper’s 1980s bonkbuster&nbsp;<em>Rivals</em>,&nbsp;is <a href="https://muddystilettos.co.uk/things-to-do/film-tv/back-stabbing-big-hair-and-bottoms-galore-disneys-rivals-has-landed/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">a total hedonistic hoot</a>. Naturally, we’re desperate to join the party in Rutshire – Cooper’s fictionalised take on the Cotswolds. So, check out these Rivals-esque properties we’ve found for sale in the ‘hood, punch some numbers into your brick mobile to get the estate agent on the case, and say hello to these grand estates and manor houses within chopper distance of Rupert Campbell-Black’s Penscombe Court. Even if you don’t have the bank balance of Lord Tony Baddingham required to make an&nbsp;<em>actual</em>&nbsp;offer, you can still channel the&nbsp;<em>Rivals&nbsp;</em>vibe with a spot of property porn. Dame Jilly would approve.</p>
