    I'll give it a bash when I get a chance, I'd be fairly confident to assume its good. Chap is excellent at what he does.

    Was it not originally broadcast earlier last year and was criticised for the typical stereotype portrayal of sex workers and clients.

    I believe it was going to be broadcast earlier but there was an investigation into the way the women were treated. The younger one was autistic and they cut all the parts out with her girlfriend/carer and anything with any context to her condition and she was not happy with it. I am a little bit gutted as I have always liked him but apparently, his documentary on Autism was not well received either x

    I watched this and was disappointed. I'll be interested to hear what others think. It is available on BBC catchup.

    My criticism is that he took too small a sample, and thus gave a skewed and largely rather sad view of things.

    He met three escorts and two clients. Two of the three escorts had been abused as kids, and he was strongly implying that this was what had "driven them" to it. Both became a bit emotional under questioning. One of them had Asbergers, and had only just started escorting, while the other was trying to leave the work. The third was a rather eccentric mature woman who did it for pleasure, not for the money. There was no representative of the experienced professional who was content with their situation, or of what I would consider the "high end".

    One of the two clients was wheelchair-bound, and the other was not very bright.

    It would not have been hard to find an intelligent and beautiful lady who was confident and happy with her choices, to balance things a bit. I have met many.
