Actually, no it wasn't, but it was almost as daft as the sex scenes in Lady Chatterley's Lover which might have been rude at the time of publication and now would make a horse blush, but for all the wrong reasons. This was about as rude as Lady Chatterley's Lover. Said farmer was very keen on his horses so we had a bit of more-silly-than-filthy talk about doing it in the stables. Which didn't quite make sense when you saw the lengths she went to to make a farmer client happy. To remind us, I suppose, that it is a show about hookers because everybody knows that only hookers wear bright red stilettos.īelle is a hooker because she's fundamentally lazy, apparently. So quite why we had to see an image of a bright red stiletto is beyond me. The whore is the one in the designer suit and being fabulous but forgettable.Īnd a nice string of pearls adds a nice touch of class to your high-class hooker. She's too squeaky clean for that sort of dirty, dangerous capering.īelle wears nice designer suits and has nice designer knickers. Except maybe the fourth episode of West Wing. I've never been addicted to anything, said Belle/Hannah in last night's first episode. You really couldn't have imagined the former tweeny popster in a role which required her to be hooking on alleyways to earn a bit of cash for her P habit. So the casting isn't as odd as it might have appeared. She's a nice sort of hooker, of the very select sort. In Secret Diary of a Call Girl, she plays Belle, by night, when she is a hooker for a living and Hannah by day where she is a legal secretary.Īll I could think was: goodness, where does the girl get the energy? I liked her Hero in the BBC's modern day interpretation of Much Ado About Nothing and I like her as Rose in the odd bit of the odd episode I've seen of Dr Who. If you have come this far, you will too.Billie Piper as a hooker? That might count as casting against type if the perky Miss Piper didn't play Belle, the call girl, with her usual, yes, perkiness. What it really has which those don't, is the acting ability.

Be warned that there is male rear view nudity in one scene, some of you are really gonna freak out All in all, plays like a fairly cautious soft- core movie, but one with charm, attitude, real smarts, and a very likable heroine. It's all implied, there is considerable camera angle work that obscures nudity. By the way, to the prudes, there is no visible female nudity in this, nothing beyond shoulders, feet, legs, etc. I would advise anybody to watch/rent/buy whatever. Film nerdy comment: The part of the pimp madam is s-o-o obviously inspired by Jacqueline Bisset as James in NIP/TUCK. The film stock is just not comparable to prime- time US TV, it should have had the bright sharpness of MELROSE PLACE and CALIFORNICATION. I'm sure even if I paid a wagon-load, I'd not get this kind of beauty. One thing for sure, I don't think ladies for hire look like this, not even at the highest end. To American audiences, I'd simply say, 'think a hotter version of Denise Richards, add to it that she can make you laugh'. That is what RavenGlamDVDCollector calls 'a very pretty girl'. What utter tripe! Look at the picture here on this page for episode 1. To anybody following the discussions on the main IMDb site, that bit about Billie Piper being ugly. Finally got around to watching Season 1 in weekly installments starting today. Acting, yeah, likable, hell, yes! When I first heard about this, October last year, I downloaded two snippets on VuClip, and I posted a request on the board posts for more information, and was assured that I would find it classy. If you want porn, don't bother with this.
