David Tennant and Danny Dyer spotted filming new Disney+ drama Rivals

David Tennant has been spotted filming his brand new Disney+ series alongside Danny Dyer.

The Doctor Who star, 51, and the former EastEnders actor, 45, are teaming up for the on-screen adaptation of the second book in author Jilly Cooper's Rutshire Chronicles. The series will bring a “2020s lens to the 1980s” as the story follows the affluent elite in 1980s Britain.

Tennant is reportedly playing TV chief Tony Baddingham in the drama, while Dyer takes on the role of Freddie Jones in the eight-part project. The pair were spotted on set this week in Gloucestershire, with the soap-star seen sporting a moustache and much longer hair.
