Prostitute Belle's (Billie Piper) accountant (Simon Kunz) likes to be
paid in sexual favours for his services, which Belle has absolutely no
problem with. Then though he confesses to her he's actually into S/M, and
he wants her to be his domme - which puts her onto the spot a bit, since
she hasn't got the first idea about things like that. Thank God though for
Sirona (Sally Dexter), a professional domme, who introduces her to the
basics (and disappoints her a bit because there is no actual sex
involved). At the meeting with her accountant, Belle gives him the full
treatment and even lets him clean her bathroom when she's running out of
ideas, but then her best mate Ben (Iddo Goldberg) calls herand tells her
he has proposed to his girlfriend 2 months ago - which totally enrages
Belle because he should have told her sooner - and she bets her poor
accountant half way to a pulp as a consequence ... Later, Belle and Ben
talk the whole thing over, and he accuses her of keeping secrets from him
as well (like being a prostitute), which gets her thinking ... and
eventually, she sends him the link to her agency's website to let him know
what she's been hiding all along ...
Partly, this is just a little comedy about S/M, with Billie Piper
rather amusing in the role of the slightly clumsy domme, partly though
this borders soap opera, with Belle tryint to come clean with Ben - and
I'm not too sure that's a good thing, actually. It depends though as to
how this storyline is to further develop ...
