Bawdy but brilliant

Rebecca Night plays the title role in this 2007 Andrew Davies adaptation of the scandalous 1748 John Cleland novel, which was originally banned for obscenity. An innocent young country girl comes to London, works as a prostitute, doesn’t absolutely hate it and finds true love. It’s a bawdy romp rather than a meditation on the grim realities of 18th Century brothels. Acorn TV, from Monday
