Secret Diary Of A Call Girl is, of course, based on the huge best-selling book of the same name, and it follows a woman with a dual life. Her profession? A London prostitute. To anyone who asks? Shes a secretary. And while much of Secret Diary Of A Call Girl is given over to Pipers explicit professional duties, theres also the core of a drama as she struggles to deal with the conflicting sides of her life.
Yet this is never, ahem, fleshed out particularly well, with the programme makers too often distracted themselves by the titillation over the substance. And the problem is that once the sexually-charged scenes are over, theres not always enough in the tank for an episode to justify its running time.
Piper, to her credit, puts in sterling work here, and the Secret Diary Of A Call Girl will do her continually rising star no harm at all. Its also an easy, unambitious drama that does manage to entertain. As a result, this complete set of all the episodes from the first series still has merit, and is still worth checking out, its just there was an opportunity here to do something a little bit more. --Jon Foster
