Based on the best-selling book, Belle de Jour: The Intimate Adventures of a London Call Girl. Starring Billie Piper, ex-pop British sensation and star of Dr. Who
Sexy, saucy and a little bit naughty Secret Diary of a Call Girl provides a sexually and emotionally candid snapshot of life in the upper echelons of the sex industry.
Taken from the real life diaries of an upmarket escort, this is an eye opening insight into the life of a London call-girl. In her most daring role to date Billie Piper (Dr Who) indulges in the ultimate life of fantasy: to her friends and family she is Hannah, a legal secretary working odd hours as the job requires; to her clients she is Belle, whether a docile girl-next-door or a whip brandishing dominatrix, she is the object of their desire. Guiding the viewer through the ins and outs of her duplicitous world with the help of her straight-talking Madame Cherie Lunghi, we learn how she started, why she continues and how she does it! Belle exposes an industry of first-timers, kinky customers, and even ménage à trois. It's a profession which is sometimes passionate, at times isolating, but always well-paid.
Nominated for Best Drama at the esteemed Golden Rose TV Awards the series aired to a weekly audience of over one million in the UK and it will be screened locally on Channel 9 in 2008.
