After getting a bad review on a website, hooker-out-of-passion Belle's
(Billie Piper) business starts to decline, so much so that she eventually
has to receive a client (Kevin Doyle) in the middle of the night, a client
who's such a creepy guy she has to throw him out pretty much right away. Ben
(Iddo Goldberg), Belle's best mate who's still trying to come to terms
with the fact that she's a prostitute, suggests to her that she takes a
break from her profession, and she takes him up on his advice ... but gets
so bored on even the first day that she just picks up a stranger (Matt
Smith) to have (unpaid) sex with him. Thing is, after sex she won't leave,
so she has to call Ben to play her fiancé to throw him out. Belle
confesses to her that she just doesn't want to take a break from her job,
so, good friend that he is, he writes a raving review about her on the
website without her knowledge, and from now on, her phone almost doesn't
stop ringing.
Amusing episode that's on the other hand a little
too far-fetched to really work though.
