Disney+ Series ‘Rivals’ Scoops Royal Television Society Awards; ‘Industry’ Named Best Drama


'Rivals,' the Disney+ series, was one of the big winners at the Royal Television Society Progamme Awards.

If Strictly were a movie, she would be the heartwarming character that everyone roots for – not the one who trips over the dance floor, but the one who makes you believe that, yes, even I could pull off a perfect foxtrot with just the right amount of determination and maybe a bit of help from the wardrobe department.
