______________________________


Welcome to the 80s, the decade of decadence…


The glamorous, cutthroat world of 1980s British television is all about power, a time when the affluent elite exist in a bubble of immense wealth and influence, and will use any means to get what they want. Lord Baddingham is desperate to retain his Corinium TV franchise, and to do so he’s hired Declan O’Hara, an Irish talk show mega-star. Baddingham has also enticed on board Cameron Cook, a gorgeous and brash executive, to produce Declan’s program. But Declan and Cameron detest each other, soon provoking a storm of controversy.


Enter into the fray everyone’s favourite hate-to-love-him bad-boy, Rupert Campbell-Black. 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 everyone is competing – in bed and in the boardroom – to come out on top.

Masterful scene writing and characters. And oh so many characters there were. Getting introduced to them all meant it took a while for the story to get going. But the wonderful narration kept me hooked and it wasn’t long before I got quite attached.

Perfect narrator

Georgia is amazing. Can’t wait until she does others! Voices are great, expressions so very fun. Enjoy!

I love her writing. Hilarious and in 2024 a little political incorrectness is cheeky and fun.

I genuinely don’t know how a book about television franchises, politics and upper-class scandals had me THIS invested, but I was obsessed. The huge cast, ridiculous drama and messy relationships were so entertaining, but Rupert’s redemption and painfully slow burn with Taggie completely stole the show for me. The audiobook was perfect for this story. With such a massive cast of characters, the narration helped bring everyone to life and made the chaos of Rutshire even more entertaining. I genuinely didn’t want it to end.

completely obsessed with Rutshire
