Page "Personal Services" Paragraph 1

Christine Painter ( Julie Walters ) is a sexually naive waitress and single-mother who pays for her teenage son's tuition by renting flats to local tarts.

She later becomes a call girl herself-joining her friend Shirley ( Shirley Stelfox ) and their " maid " Dolly ( Danny Schiller )-and specializes in fetish / kink roleplay with older gentlemen.

With her new family of friends and admirers, she becomes a huge sensation leading to wealth and infamy in the tabloids.

The brothel business also brings out Christine's self-confidence, and leads to repairing a previously strained relationship with her father.
