That was the singularly most uninformative and ill-informed piece of crap I've seen in a long time. Who wants to know what the presenter's female friends, boyfriend and mother, as ill-informed as they were, think about prostitution? The prostitutes interviewed were quite evidently extremely different to one another in terms of both their personalities and the sectors of the industry that they worked in. Yet this didn't stop the presenter trying to draw out some generalisations from her meetings with them, generalisations based as much on her assumptions than upon the empirical evidence with which we were presented.
Then of course they had to drop in the old chestnut in about Soho being the sordid basement of the WG range of experiences, a total red herring if you are going to bang on about the potential for punter violence as being the key factor in determining the degree of stress experienced in this work given that Soho is comparatively safe with maids, local police presence, CCTV on the stairs, occasional scrutiny of working conditions in the courts and elsewhere following the odd bout of raids, etc. I don't why Soho is always mentioned in this kind of programmes insofar as only 70 or 80 girls at any one time work in conditions that are quite unique and completely unlike those anywhere else, compared to tens of thousands at least who work in other ways.
To add insult to injury the programme didn't even offer the viewer any gratuitous titillation!
