Review of A Harlot's Progress (2006) by Patric C — 26 Sep 2008

I stayed up until nearly 2am watching this last night on more 4! it was superb: a stellar cast, and showed how awful life was for fallen women in 18th century london. it was occasionally interspersed with news bulletin voiceovers from the 21st century which were pertinent to the unfolding drama, and brilliantly demonstrated that the squalor, alcoholism, drug addiction, degradation, exploitation, poverty, disease, starvation, death and everything else associated with the sex trade are still with us.
