Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.

Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

JCJ Smeets Belle (Billie Piper)is leading a double life. One emotional and one professional life. It's hard keeping these two apart, especially when the professional life contains the service to concede to needs of men and make dreams come true. As a professional escort-girl she's is in between of everything. How does she manage to be a classy call girl and not be mixed emotion in the two worlds she's living in. In these 3 seasons you have the opportunity to follow her and join her on her secret missions. You go on a journey with her and get to know the excitement covered with champagne and glamour. But also the reality about it. And if you had any prejudice about this profession at least it will soften by the charming character Bille Piper plays: Belle.

kayaker-6 Where the first season had a self confident Belle giving us an insight into the world of a call girl, the second and third season seems to be more like a bad soap opera, about love and uncertainty with a bumbling Belle making all kinds of mistakes.After having seen only a few season two episodes, I was starting to get really disappointed. The "based on the book" part seems to be only true for the main character, and only at the surface. The witty, powerful and strong Belle had crumbled to become a superficial character. The interview between Billie Piper and the real Belle also showed how far the character has strayed from the real life Belle in the second series.The third season doesn't fare much better than the second.I'd say that's an opportunity lost by the writers of this series, which unfortunately is more and more often the case with TV series nowadays.

BadWolf2006 Cheeky, sassy and sexy-three words that sum up ITV 2's secret diary of a call girl. The music, the sets and the dialogue are raunchy, fast and jaw dropping-and thats just the first episode! Billie Piper was the perfect choice to play Belle, a high class prostitute living in London. Belle is more than happy to share her view on prostitution with us, explaining the highs and the lows, the different areas and how she copes. We also see Belle tackling several situations, including a client who likes her for who she is, not for the work she does, an awkward 42 year old client, and of course her keeping her double life secret from those she loves.She pretends shes a legal secretary for a night firm-"its so boring, no-one ever asks me about it,"-just one of the many memorable quotes. Her best friend and ex boyfriend Ben is a series regular, but will she finally tell all about her double life? Secret Diary was the best thing on TV in 2007, and Billie Piper plays sassy, streetwise Belle with an edge-this is a perfect role for her and it is evident she enjoys playing it. All eight episodes are worth a look.Yes it's racey, yes its cheeky, yes it's sexy, but it's deeper than that-watch it!

the_mad-scientist Ms Piper is quality, her timing and playing to camera are excellent, a female Alfie?What lets the program down is the 30 minute time slot, and this restricts the progression of the narrative. I would have liked to see more of the meeting between her agent and the girls. The lingering exterior shots are reminiscent of US series, and perhaps that is a future target for this show, however they just seemed like fillers.The amount of information that the book and blogs provide, should easily fill the time, and a decent (or indecent) series.Made me laugh, and the bit with the saddle, brave people. I hope they did not have too many takes, looks exhausting.By and large a good attempt at a difficult subject, I wonder what Channel 4 would have done with the same book?As for the aforementioned Ms Piper, sultry and naughty, very good. Watch it and laugh at how ridiculous we can all appear during sex.
