Jilly Cooper’s Rivals
Discussion
We watched 4 last night and finished it this evening. Jolly excellent storytelling. Fair play to Jilly C, I hadn’t realised just what an accomplished story teller she was.
I’ve never read any of her stuff, so I don’t know if the books are similar, but I thought the production managing to make it a very “bloke” show was spot on. Every bloke in his 40s was brought up with Jilly Cooper stuff being chick lit mummy porn, daddy read Dick Francis instead, but this was superb in its handling.

binged it the other day, never read the book, not sure how accurate it is to it, but it's brilliant tbh. Great cast, funny and a great throwback to anyone who grew up around that time and lived in the country.
On rest of entertainment podcast they said a lot of the quality is down to the team they got to adapt it as JC books are quite hard to adapt apparently.

Not really a fan of drama/fiction, However, having recently watched ‘Bad Monkey’, I was on the lookout for something else, watched ‘Ludwig’ Just OK; then noticed this on here.
Fantastic, I’m really enjoying this, who ever was in charge of casting has more than nailed it; how easy would it have been to just cast very beautiful people and try and make it period correct, they’ve not done that, they’ve chosen people are almost period correct, handsome buggers and the kind of ladies, who would front those kind of people.
The sets, everything is just so ‘bob on’ clearly a lot of work, went into the production of this, one of the best things on television this year!
