The 80s are back with a bang – and then some – in the sexy, starry and very silly adaptation of Jilly Cooper’s bonkfest, plus Jason Segel’s underrated comedy with Harrison Ford returns

As this starry Jilly Cooper adaptation begins (the cast includes David Tennant, Katherine Parkinson, Danny Dyer, Emily Atack and Aidan Turner), Concorde is blasting across the Atlantic. A couple are joining the mile-high club, climaxing when the plane goes supersonic and a champagne bottle spurts. It’s the 80s, the least subtle decade in modern history and well represented by Rivals. The plot – swaggering rake Rupert Campbell-Black and Irish firebrand Declan O’Hara join forces to undermine Lord Tony Baddingham’s TV empire – is beside the point. The real action is in the affairs, flings, love triangles and bonking. It is the silliest show of the autumn and an absolute tonic.
