Episodes
Belle attends her book launch disguised as a waitress but leaves early to meet American client Jesse, whilst Ben is mistaken for the author by a lady named Camilla,who beds him before realising her mistake. Belle's publisher Duncan is so taken by sales that he asks her to prepare a follow-up though Stephanie, Belle's agent,is less impressed by her depiction in the book.
Belle's sister Jackie comes to stay, having left her husband, and Belle feels unable to tell her about her line of work. However, whilst Belle is out, Jackie is turned on by reading her book and gets very drunk, having sex with Ben who has come to call. Belle is not amused though, nor is Stephanie, who has now worked out that Belle is the author of the tell-all expose. Nor is Bambi, because black girls get paid less than white. However Bambi does hit it off with new client Byron, a mystery man whom she first encounters being chased down the street.
Belle's handsome publisher Duncan criticizes her writing style, feeling more stress should be given to what really turns her clients on. In the case of nervous young actuary Simon, it's farmyard noises, which Belle feels unable to divulge and she finds her writing is better when she imagines Duncan is her fantasy sex partner. Ben is now a frequent visitor to her flat, to sleep with sister Jackie, much to Belle's annoyance, and Bambi finds Byron is becoming more to her than just a paying punter.
Belle entertains Des, a young man who loves to be covered in messy foodstuffs, not the most erotic subject for her next chapter, so she turns to Duncan for the real thing. Bambi tries in vain to reject an ardent Byron, who buys her a bicycle and proposes to her whilst Ben breaks things off with Jackie.
Duncan tells Belle he is falling for her and comes on to her again but, visualizing regular client Al giving her advice, she puts him off, saying that escorts should not carry emotional baggage. So both she and Ben are amazed when Bambi and Byron announce their forthcoming marriage. Duncan persists in claiming that he can handle Belle's work if they become an item, so she finally gives in, even telling him her real name.
Based on the popular diary of the anonymous sex worker known only as Belle de Jour.
