Set mainly in the Cotswolds, they are racy and raunchy page-turners exposing the scandalous - and often hilarious - goings on among the British upper classes.
Born in 1937 in Essex, she was brought up...2018-03-1600 minDesert Island Discs RecommendedJilly CooperRoy Plomley's castaway is writer and journalist Jilly Cooper.

The High LowDing Dong The Hef Is Dead - The Legacy of Playboy; And The Death Of The Celebrity InterviewIn the wake of pyjama-clad Hugh Hefner’s demise, we discuss the legacy of Playboy and its nuances - and why viewing an empire created 64 years ago solely through the lense of modern feminism can be problematic. A must-read, incidentally, is Gloria Steinem’s The Bunny’s Tale.
Also in today’s episode, we discuss the demise of the celebrity interview. Are authentic journalistic profiles destined to become mere relics, in place of publicist-approved puff pieces? We can but wonder.
