It's the '80s-set series that's coming to our screens at long last this week and quite frankly, Rivals is set to be a veritable hoot of a drama.

With a cast starring the likes of David Tennant, Alex Hassell (The Boys) and Aidan Turner (Poldark), the series is based on the Jilly Cooper novel of the same name and follows the fight for independent television in Rutshire.

The plight for power is certainly one major aspect of the series, as well as the raunchy debacles that unfold amongst the townspeople but pretty quickly, you'll also realise that Rivals is home to quite the stellar soundtrack.

From the unforgettable introductory scene underpinned by Robert Palmer's Addicted to Love to hit tunes by The Clash, Blondie and The Pointer Sisters, it's safe to say that the music of Rivals will have you toe-tapping away.

But what are the songs included in each episode of the series? Thankfully, we've rounded them up for you so read on to find out
