Britain's Happy Hookers
Synopsis
Is there a real life Belle de Jour?
Journalist Alex Bedford meets a variety of twenty-something women at the forefront of an emerging shift in the sex industry: young, trendy women in London who are turning to high-end escorting to finance their expensive taste for lavish goods.
Although media outlets and policy makers tend to paint female sex workers with a broad brush - either as drug-addicted young women or as trafficked migrants who have no control over their lives - recent news stories have shown that there are more apparently 'middle-class' girls entering the profession and Alex wants to know why.
