Billie Piper stars as Belle de Jour, a call girl from London. This show is based on the blog of Belle de Jour. She has written two books about her life and had been a contributing writer of the Telegraph until 2006. ITV has ordered a total of 8 episodes of this show.
I’ve seen a total of four episodes. I was intrigued to learn that they had turned the blog into a show. The format is a half hour show on ITV 2. In the UK, Billie Piper is probably best known as a pop singer and the companion of Doctor Who. I found it funny how she dumped her “date” at the adult party. She cited “personal reasons” and excused herself. The show still remains intriguing but not particularly great.
Warning: Spoilers ahead.
