Rivals is just days away from returning to our screens, and on Wednesday, the stars descended upon London to mark the show's premiere.

The likes of Emily Atack, Danny Dyer, David Tennant and Aidan Turner were seen arriving at the BFI IMAX Waterloo to celebrate the show's return.

Set in the high-stakes world of 1980s British television, the second outing sees "power struggles escalate and rivalries deepen" whilst "ambition drives every move" and loyalties are pushed to the edge.

The story is based on the second book in Cooper's The Rutshire Chronicles series and will be told over 12 episodes, which is four up from the 8-part first season.
