Jilly Cooper's mix of tongue in cheek romance, sex and horses among toffs of Britain is totally implausible and ridiculously OTT but is just ironic enough to work.
This TV mini-series of the book loses almost all the irony and doesnt manage to convey the horror that was the marriage of Rupert Campbell Black (oh lord what a name!) and Helen.
The horses were stunningly gorgeous and all the riding was very well filmed. The actors themselves werent that bad, they did the job. Their main problem was that they just werent good looking enough to live up to their descriptions in the book. Rupert acted the part, but just wasnt convincing as the man no woman could resist, and Jake Lovell was the poshest gypsy I've ever seen! Helen needed to be far thinner and far more beautiful. So now, in a moment of self indulgence I have concocted my dream cast for "Riders":
Rupert Campbell Black - Jude Law perhaps? Jake Lovell - Colin Farrell (at least he'd be Irish!) Helen Campbell Black - Debra Messing (from Will and Grace)
All in all the book was a lot more entertaining but this mini-series isnt nearly as bad as people say, it just tries to emulate the book.
