    Baring all means baring their soul(s) to a gullible audience of men who will tune in just in the hope of getting a glimpse of BP's funbags.

    What time did you say it was on?

    mmmm, Billie Piper

    But why did you ask the BBC when ITV are going to be showing a new series of Secret Diary of a Call Girl? :-)

    Mine is the dirty mac with the packet of Kleenex in the pocket.

    Missing ITV plot

    ITV would no longer know a worthwhile programme concept if it came in a box labelled "worthwhile programme concept" along with a quick start guide, a lavishly illustrated operators manual in hand-tooled leather, a 40 minute instructional DVD with a voiceover by John Cleese and an itemised invoice from the supplier, "Worthwhile Programme Concepts r us PLC".

    Fun After Doctor Who in Canada

    After watching series 2 of Doctor Who with my son, my son and I went looking for other stuff that Billie Piper had done: Need less to say he is watching Sarah Jane.... Daddy got something new on his Christmas wish list....

    Great, that's just what we need

    Glamorize the oldest profession. Now all our empty headed teenage girls can achieve fame through being "call girls" and getting paid at the same time. Wonderful.

      "Now all our empty headed teenage girls can achieve fame through being "call girls" and getting paid at the same time."

      Why not, after all it worked for Paris, TPT et al. And if nothing else the prog might give the poor viewers a break from the constant dribble of celeb reality shows that seems to be de rigeur for BBC and ITV these days.

      Empty headed eh? Like the protagonist? I think your prejudice is showing.

      Yes

      In the same way that we have that epidemic of teenage boys donning anoraks and jumping into phone boxes thinking they'll go on magical adventures through time, only to be arrested by plod and locked up for minimum five years for carrying a screwdriver.

      Because kids believe absolutely everything they see, are incapable of not taking fantasy literally, and for their protection must be banned from watching TV and instead locked in dark rooms and only allowed to listen to government-approved factual broadcasts. ("why cannabis is more dangerous than alcohol", "how having sex will cause you to die of AIDS instantly", "mummy and daddy's Volvo is killing polar bears (as read by Al Gore from his private jet)", etc. etc.)

    Documentary

    Of course prostitution is a serious subject, not to be trivialised by the inclusion of minor celebrity voicing their vacuous 'opinions', but of course ITV, that bastion of serious television for the new age, is already fully aware of this and isn't planning something akin to "An Audience With... Dr. Prozzie"!

    Except for viewers in Scotland

    Naturally you expect classy material like this to come from the BBC but I assume it is on ITV as you said. In Scotland, however, STV will be showing its own documentat!ry, "Bluebell de Jour". Which is nice too.

    Actress and call girl to 'bare all'

    OK, we know that Brooke Magnanti is (or was) a call girl but there's certainly no actress in this story. Oh no, you can't mean....
