Kathy Lette's novel (no, it's not an instruction manual) How to Kill Your Husband (and Other Handy Household Hints), has been optioned by Andy Harries, producer of The Queen. Apparently it's going to be a series for ITV.

"I am driving around town with a casting couch strapped to my roof rack," Kathy Lette told The Guardian's Browser column, "Would you like a lie-down part?"

I've only read one of Kathy Lette's books (and I didn't love it), but she's certainly an entertaining character.
