FILTH! The Escort Agency, Channel 4, 10.50pm

The Escort AgencyWe'd be the absolute last people to say that LOWCULTURE is all about filth - we happen to be clean-living folks and wholesome folks, unless you count all of those decidedly X-rated thoughts we've had about Dean Winchester while watching Supernatural, but let's be honest here - how many people don't get secretly excited when they find there's a documentary on tonight's telly that explores the inner workings of an escort agency? Oh, not excited like THAT, you foul, foul children.

You may wish to write a letter to your MP and complain that this entry is entirely systematic of the declining standards of LOWCULTURE, and won't somebody think of the children, and if Uncaring Elsie were still here watching over us all, she wouldn't say anything because she couldn't be bothered, but she'd be pursing her lips disapprovingly all the same. However, we're not really that bothered, because we like watching programmes about the seedy underbelly of "adult" "entertainment" (and we're not talking about More 4, either).

We've got no idea how much is going to get revealed during this (again, not in that sense you sickos), but we're quite intrigued to see how far this documentary goes (and we're going to stop pointing out the double entendres here lest this entry go on forever). Quick brief: it's set at Christony Companions, the largest escort agency in the North East, and covers three months, following staff and customers alike. Intrigued? Yes, us too. But don't worry, we'll still respect you in the morning.

About Us

According to Marxist theory, cultural forms such as opera, classical music and the literary works of Shakespeare all fall under the heading of high culture. Low culture refers to a wide variety of cultural themes that are characterised by their consumption by the masses. We might not be Marxists, but we do know we loved Footballers Wives. If you do too, you'll know what this is all about.
