It was directed by Robert Knights and executive produced by Sarah Lawson, under her company Lawson Productions, and Neil Zeiger for Blue Heaven Productions. The producer was Irving Teitelbaum. [1] Sexually, Jilly Cooper's world is an idyll. No one is frigid, no one has difficulties in bed. Mutuality of orgasm is a given. There are no venereal diseases, and rarely any talk of contraception. Pregnancies, which seldom happen, are always OK when they do, if only because that introduces a potential new orgiaste into the scenario in 16 years' time.

It goes something like this: driven by desire, The Archetypal Shit (who has 'manganese-blue eyes') couples with The Beautiful Young Thing (who has 'eyes like huge green traffic lights'). Mad with jealousy, The Trustafarian (who has 'huge hazel eyes, like amber traffic lights') impales herself on The Superstud (who has 'Cambridge-blue eyes'). Keen to make her way in the world, the Tempting Temp (who has 'eyes the colour of love-in-a-mist') pleasures the Slightly Overweight Millionaire (who has 'bright blue eyes'). Et cetera, et cetera. The Man Who Made Husbands Jealous (1993) is a novel written by Jilly Cooper as part of the Rutshire Chronicles, about a womanizer who gets embroiled in a scheme to punish wayward husbands. For the television movie, see The Man Who Made Husbands Jealous (film). First edition (publ. Bantam Books) All across the USA, people are showing up dead. The deaths don't appear to be connected in any way until one particular death occurs and gets the Secretary of Defense's attention. He arranges for a task force to investigate. Did I enjoy it? Yes. Is it a good book? - I'd have to say no but it's very typical of Jilly Cooper and you know what you are going to get.

In 1997, a TV miniseries version was produced for ITV by Anglia Television, starring Stephen Billington as Lysander Hawkley, Hugh Bonneville as Ferdinand Fitzgerald , and Rhona Mitra as Flora Seymour. Other cast members included Gilly Coman as the Marigold, Kim Criswell as Georgie, and Kate Byers as Kitty Rannaldini. Jilly Cooper is a journalist, author and media superstar. The author of many number one bestselling books, she lives in Gloucestershire. Sex, money, power: it sounds a simple enough recipe. It is. And it's one which Cooper has deployed with almost no variation over the course of seven bestselling, bonkbusting novels. Fair enough - if it ain't broke, don't fix it. About the only thing that has changed between books, indeed, is the milieu. For each new novel, Cooper has selected a differently glamorous world in which her stories can unfurl. Thus Riders was set in showjumping, Rivals in TV, Appassionata and Score! in classical music, and so on.
