I don,t see the point of them but I find my self still watching.

1. Cheap Tv for the companies that make them and sell them to the mainline Tv channels - lots of profit
2. Sex sells - good audience figures for selling adverts during the breaks

Bottom line it is all about the money, but what did "Granny" get out of it? 15 minutes of fame?

Sat watching Quirke, so not watched it yet.

I actually sort of enjoyed that... wasn't as bad as I thought it would be as most of the talking was done by the women themselves, who all seemed like fun, liberated individuals :) I thought it would be patronising and judgemental, but I'm glad it gave them a voice to say "I love what I do" :)

I watched the entire show with a regular (he happended to be here) and I have to say I was expecting a bit more, but what they showed wasnt so bad. Except for the condoms in a glass who are a bit grosse..

I watched the show on catch up this morning and was pleasantly surprised.   I think the women came across really well and it showed a more realistic version of what life is like for independent escorts.

I've got to admit to finding the programme the most cringeworthy of all the ones I've seen.  Almost made me ashamed of being old, never mind being a prossy.

Sorry to sound so patronising but if I sounded like those women on the phone I would want to shoot myself as for the really old golden oldie, I'm saying nothing.  If she was trying to be convincing she failed badly, poor old soul. :(

But...... Live and let live .... So ladies if I ever sound like any of them ask me for my address to send the gun to so that I can shoot myself.
Beauty is nothing to do with having a pretty face.
It is about having a pretty mind, a pretty heart,
And most importantly a beautiful soul.

Channel 4 seems to be infatuated with prostitution at the minute, wasn't it channel 4 which featured the Rupert Everett one too? I enjoyed this one, not necessarily the narration because at points like expected the guy sounded a bit patronizing, but the program itself was pretty good  ;D

I think if i were going to do something like that i'd choose a mask a bit more concealing than the one that the second lady chose and wouldn't have shown a picture of myself in my younger years, i can't help but think she kinda outed herself there to people that could recognize her which would be OK if of course she wasn't trying to hide her identity.

I thought so too, it did absolutely nothing to hide what she looked like at all O_O

I had a look on [another forum] discussing her and have linked to her AW profile where she shows her face, minus the wig etc. I don't suppose a civvie would find themselves on that kind of site unless they were looking for it themselves, but i think she gave enough away on the program to make  suspicious minds ponder and if somebody were to go snooping then i don't think it'd take them too long to connect the dots. Oh dear  :(

I agree, I was surprised, although I think the very elderly lady should maybe retire I thought she came across as a very intelligent, charming, young at heart lady and very very beautiful in her younger days bless her.

I have found myself worrying about the older lady's physical and emotional health, she seems so frail.
Heaven knows how much her family must worry about her.
If it wasn't for that I would say good on her!!

I felt concerns about the 85 year old as well...she just seemed a very frail lady and I could not help but think there are some evil buggers out there who take advantage of that vulnerability.

I thought it was really sad and wonder what the ladies got out of doing it?

Yeah the pandering to obvious phonewankers was cringey...must have been done for the camera to show how 'game' they were....in reality most of us would have said ' I will let you have a look at my profile pics and let you decide if my tits are suitable, godd day sir! ;D

Yeah I agree though I do think the guy doing the programme in the end was a bit concerned too.  To me it sounded like he thought she was going to keel over.

The poor old soul sounded as though she just craved the company of people and perhaps the money too and nothing else, it was all far too overwhelming for her.
