Fleabag meets Succession as rival TV execs bid for the local franchise in this exuberant romp filled with drama, steam, and comedy.

Into the cut-throat world of Corinium television comes Declan O'Hara, a mega-star of great glamour and integrity with a radiant feckless wife, a handsome son and two ravishing teenage daughters. Living rather too closely across the valley is Rupert Campbell-Black, divorced and as dissolute as ever, and now the Tory Minister for Sport.

Declan needs only a few days at Corinium to realise that the Managing Director, Lord Baddingham, is a crook who has recruited him merely to help retain the franchise for Corinium. Baddingham has also enticed Cameron Cook, a gorgeous but domineering woman executive, to produce Declan's programme. Declan and Cameron detest each other, provoking a storm of controversy into which Rupert plunges with his usual abandon.

As a rival group emerges to pitch for the franchise, reputations ripen and decline, true love blossoms and burns, marriages are made and shattered, and sex raises its (delicious) head at almost every throw as, in bed and boardroom, the race is on to capture the Cotswold Crown.

When it started, I wasn’t so sure because there were so many characters I didn’t care about but having seen it I was able to follow along until it got interesting. Now I’m invested in Rupert and Tagi and Freddie and Lizzie as ever. I’m bummed to see that the next book doesn’t just pick up where this left off as far as all they are concerned.

Enjoyed coming from the tv series

I, like many, listened to this thanks to the series and the fact that Georgia was the reader. I wasn’t sure how much I’d like this, but I was instantly hooked.

The story itself is marvelous, and Georgia’s voice work makes it all the better. Now please excuse me while I binge the rest of this series.

I’m now hooked on this series
