I kid you not, I have had 5 people contact me recently regarding taking part in TV documentaries about, well you know what. Watch out for a flood of such programmes in the Autumn folks.
So my answer as always is no, no, no and no. I had one today ask me if my clients would like to be interviewed. ‘Are you totally insane??!!’ I think and then I think again ‘Hang on, this is some 21 year old chick straight out of uni, first research job and all that and I cut her some slack. She did phrase things a tad crassly though and I had to put her straight on that…
She used the word ‘use’ several times as in I am/we are used, us ladies – by men. I took it upon myself to explain that we dont take kindly to that word, just as she wouldnt take kindly to me saying she was ‘used’ as an employee or in any context. Im not into all this PC stuff, but some things, well they just dont sound right.
It has to change you know, this nonsense, this perception that people have. You will say ‘Well you should be part of the documentary then’ But no, these people arent after the truth, my side, they are after salaciousness. Thats business, thats what sells newspapers and what makes people watch TV programmes and therefore gets advertising revenue. I understand that, we all do. I am just not going to be part of it thats all.

I have always loved the Secret Diaries of a Callgirl, the TV series. I have also read the blog and the books. I remember a couple of years ago, great debate in some forums. ‘She’ is a man!’ they cried or worse, ‘She is a journalist! :) I always maintained that in my humble opinion that she definitely was a working gal. I kind of knew she was. Not to say I am always right but it seemed right, what she was saying, writing about, you know?
But now we know dont we? Belle de Jour, the escort/call girl/whatever - behind the diary that inspired the series, well she has outed herself. I think I read because she had to, which is a shame, but whatever. I am sure (really hope) she will make the best of any prejudice she faces in her profession as a scientist because of it.
Belle de Jour is Dr Brooke Magnanti.
I have kind of shied away from reading about it all, writing about it even. I felt it was her personal stuff, you know? For the same reason, I never read anyone else’s reviews, never. I never do. Thats just me though, a bit peculiar that way.
I had my first dinner date last night, here in my place, I cooked it, we enjoyed it and my lovely boy said that he enjoyed the following interview and he suggested that you may like it too. (There are a few tedious adverts initially but persevere dear heart, persevere…)
So if you want to, have a look, its good. CLICK HERE.

PS Its back on ITV2, The Diaries, on Thursdays x
