'Rivals' Cast Share Their Memories Of Jilly Cooper

About this episode

The episode features a discussion with the cast of 'Rivals' reflecting on the late author Jilly Cooper and her legacy.

She was the iconic author of the 'bonk busters' we all know and love and when the late, great Jilly Cooper passed, it is only right that she be celebrated in style. Kathryn caught up with Victoria Smurfit, Lisa McGillis and the executive producer of 'Rivals' Dominic Treadwell Collins to chat about series 2 and how they marked her passing with lots of bubbles. Clare Dunne told us about the brilliant new movie '500 Miles' and we pay homage to Kathryn's favourite human Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
