Synopsis:

ITV2's sexually-charged drama, SECRET DIARY OF A CALL GIRL, follows the double life of a beautiful young prostitute working the streets of London. By day, Hannah (Billie Piper, DR WHO) is a respectable legal secretary who works long hours to make ends meet. By night she's Belle, a ruthless, money-hungry hooker who will do anything to satisfy her clients' basest fantasies. A professional in every sense of the word, Belle slips with seeming ease from the role of girl-next-door to high-heeled dominatrix, taking care never to become emotionally involved with her clients. But the constant pressures of keeping her two lives separate begins to take its toll, and in an unguarded moment with a handsome stranger, Belle lets slip her true identity. From then on, he only wants to be with Hannah... Presented here are the first three series in their entirety.

Season 1

To her parents she's Hannah, the legal secretary. Hannah has a responsible job that involves working lots of unsocial hours in the evening. Hannah has her own set of clothes and her own friends. Even her closest pal has no idea about her working life. To her clients Belle is whatever they want her to be. She can be the quiet girl-next-door. Or she can be the high-heeled dominatrix who whips them into submission. Her mission is to make money by satisfying male fantasies. As she tells us in the first episode: "Work out what the client wants as fast as you can and give it to him." Belle also has strict rules. The most important being that she never becomes emotionally involved. That's before she meets a handsome young single man. On their first meeting Belle looks stunning but it is a complete disaster. He tells her madam (Cherie Lunghi) that next time he'd like a girl just au naturel. Belle was too overpowering. But crafty Belle's professional pride is hurt. She elbows out another call girl and ensures they have a second date. This time everything goes wonderfully and in an unguarded moment she lets slip her real name. Hannah. And the client wants Hannah. Not Belle. And the most important lesson she's learnt: to do this job and keep sane, she has to keep Belle and Hannah separate. Follow Belle's further adventures in the eight-part series.

Season 2

To her parents she's Hannah, the legal secretary. Hannah has a responsible job that involves working lots of unsocial hours in the evening. Hannah has her own set of clothes and her own friends. To her clients Belle is whatever they want her to be. She can be the quiet girl-next-door. Or she can be the high-heeled dominatrix who whips them into submission. Her mission is to make money by satisfying male fantasies.

Season 3

A professional in every sense of the word, Belle slips with seeming ease from the role of girl-next-door to high-heeled dominatrix, taking care never to become emotionally involved with her clients. But the constant pressures of keeping her two lives separate begins to take its toll, and in an unguarded moment with a handsome stranger, Belle lets slip her true identity. From then on, he only wants to be with Hannah... Based on the internet blogs of London call girl Belle de Jour, this provocative third series presents a very human angle on the sex trade.

Based on the popular diary of the anonymous sex worker known only as Belle de Jour.
