Rivals By Jilly Cooper

Written by award-winning author Jilly Cooper, dive into the deliciously decadent world of 1980s British television with Rivals, where power, passion and scandal collide in the cutthroat race for the Corinium TV franchise.

Set during the decade of excess, this 720-page bonkbuster follows the affluent elite as they scheme, seduce and backstab their way to the top. Lord Baddingham is desperate to retain his franchise and hires Irish talk show mega-star Declan O'Hara, a man of integrity with a feckless wife and two ravishing teenage daughters. He also recruits the gorgeous but domineering Cameron Cook to produce Declan's programme.

But the pair detest each other, provoking storms of controversy. Enter everyone's favourite rakish bad-boy, Rupert Campbell-Black, the divorced and dissolute Tory Minister for Sport who plunges into the chaos with his usual abandon.
