Oh Jilly Cooper, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways… I remember my older sister giving me a copy of Polo when I was a teenager and then sitting, engrossed, in an armchair for most of the Christmas holidays as I gobbled it up. I then moved straight onto Riders, Rivals and the rest of the Rutshire Chronicles. As an author, Dame Jilly is a sharp-eyed, humorous observer of class, sex and wealth, and in person she is all of these things and more. Rivals has now been adapted for TV and is being rightly hailed as one of the best things you’ve ever seen on screen. Here, Dame Jilly spills the beans on what she really thinks of the actors, as well as her failure to throw anything away, to understand technology and her inability to have babies naturally - which led to her greatest gift: adopting her beloved son and daughter. Oh, and we discuss dick pics. Obvs.
