It’s official – Rivals season two is underway and the all-star cast has been spotted out and about filming in Wiltshire. The crew were recently seen filming at Neston Park and a private house in Atworth, and now Corsham has once again taken centre stage.

As huge fans of the Jilly Cooper adaptation, we went starry eyed when Aidan Turner [Declan O&#8217;Hara], Alex Hassell [Rupert Campbell-Black] and Nafessa Williams [Cameron Cook] were seen hard at work on the high street.

Poldark&#8217;s Aidan Turner even took the time to chat to fans &#8211; as he was driven away in a black Mercedes, he rolled down his window to say hi to a couple of intrigued kids who had stopped to watch.

Corsham’s high street returned to the 1980&#8217;s for the day, with vintage cars including a Triumph Stag and Austin Metro rolled in for the event. The art department worked their magic too: Coppins Jeweller became Cotchester Jewellers, while one veterinary practice was transformed into Woodhill Vets and Hale Vet became Rutshire Dental.

Oil &amp; Ink gallery became Huntley&#8217;s Antiques, Oxfam was transformed into Kitson Collectors Centre, and The Royal Oak pub became a swanky-looking Bar Sinister.

Rutshire may be fictional, but it’s based on the Cotswolds, with Wiltshire locations already featuring heavily in Rivals season one. Nearby Neston Park is used as The Falconry, Lord Baddingham’s lavish home.

We may have a little longer to wait for the new series of Rivals to air on Disney+, but brace yourself. It&#8217;s guaranteed to be a classic Jilly Cooper cocktail of lust, lies and a little light bed-hopping. Can&#8217;t wait!
