Billie Piper

I've been watching Billie Piper from Doctor Who in her new TV series: "Secret Diary of a Call Girl."

It's based on the blog "Belle de Jour: diary of a London call girl " and is set after Rose's adventures in the Tardis. It has an excellent story line and great characterisation. Also it has Billie Piper wearing lingerie! This is a plot twist not explored by Russel T Davis when making Doctor Who, at least not in the TV series. Maybe it is explored in the book adaptations. I'm pretty sure I've seen some fan-fic on the Internet that covers it.

Jen said "Secret Diary of a Call Girl" was dross and has no redeeming features and that I only watch it because it has Billie Piper in her underwear. I don't follow her reasoning. I think she's completely missing the point. For example, I'd watch it even if she wasn't wearing her underwear. I just don't see what's not to like.

I think Jen was just grumpy because she'd been arguing with Moonchild that night. It sounds like Moonchild is going to take over from Diane at the coven, but now she's pressuring Jen to help too. Moonchild says the coven is down to 10 witches and so they need another 3. Jen got really angry with Moonchild and said it was the same every Samhain, and that the answer was still "no" and will always be "no" and that she wouldn't ever want to rejoin the coven. She said that if Moonchild was going to try emotional blackmail next about her parents, like Diane always did, then she could leave. Moonchild was really calm, but I could tell she was actually very angry, or I thought at one point, maybe scared. She said that she wasn't exactly thrilled to be taking over, but that it was the right thing to do and that people like her and Jen had a responsibility. She said if there were the full 13 witches then it would be safer for everyone.

They talked about lots of other things too, about the coven, Daniel, Diane and somebody called Aleister I think, but I didn't hear most of it because I was trying to watch Billie Piper. What they said probably wasn't important though and didn't sound directly JDL related. OK, maybe it was, but I can't be on JDL duty the whole time. I bet even Leonardo da Vinci stopped fighting aliens when Mona Lisa got her kit off. Next time Jen and Moonchild have a secret argument I hope they have the decency to have it in another room like they usually do so I will know to listen at the door. Also if they could have it when Billie Piper isn't on that would be a great help.
