Secret Diary of a Call Girl - Season 1 (2-DVD)

She's classy. She's posh. She's savvy. And she's just as much "working girl" as she is "hooker with a heart of gold." Meet Belle, (DOCTOR WHO's Billie Piper), an expensive London call girl who's willing to take viewers on an intimate tour through her daily life. There's the personal on one side, the professional on the other, and never the twain shall meet, right' Well, for now at least. On the whole, Belle is a consummate professional, and her unusual lifestyle requires her to be coy with those who don't know how she truly earns her living. But when facing such dilemmas as whether to ditch an underwhelming john for the rare opportunity of making a sex fantasy come true, or discovering a soft spot for a sweet and wonderful client, it tends to become increasingly difficult to separate business from pleasure and pleasure from heartache. Not unlike the title character of ALFIE, Belle playfully breaks the fourth wall to constantly engage the viewer in a stylistic device that echoes the series' inspiration, a real-life blog written by a high-class prostitute named Belle de Jour. SECRET DIARY OF A CALL GIRL was already a smash-hit in England before it surfaced on the airwaves of Canada's Showcase and America's Showtime, but now this intoxicating, sometimes funny, always sexy drama can be enjoyed internationally. Included here are all eight episodes of the series' first season.
