      [Yelena answers Kate's mobile phone. It's Kate's new boyfriend Stuart, who doesn't know Kate's a prostitute, but thinks she's just a student]

      Yelena: This is not Kate, this is Yelena. Kate is busy.

      Stuart: Oh, right, is she in lecture?

      Yelena: No. She is sucking cock.

      Stuart: What?

      Yelena: She is sucking cock. She is cocksucker. She is giving man big cocksucking.

      Stuart: I'm sorry, who is this?

      Yelena: It's Yelena. I work with Kate. I am whore. She is whore. We both whores. We work in whorehouse. We suck cock.

      Stuart: Kate is not a prostitute!

      Yelena: Yes she is. She is sucking cock right now. She tell you herself but she can not - mouth full of cock.

      Stuart: What? I don't believe this!

      Yelena: Me neither, fat bitch, but, our opinion count for nothing. Men give her money, she suck cock.

      Stuart: Is this Kate Williams' phone?

      Yelena: Yeah.

      Stuart: I'm sorry, this is sick, this is some kind of sick joke!

      Yelena: So, no message? Hmh.

    The Office in a brothel
    This show was introduced to me as "The Office... set in a brothel!", and while it's a somewhat accurate description, it is actually an entirely different animal underneath.

    What we have here is simply a very tender love story between Michael, the disaffected and lonely middle-aged married man, whose marriage is staler than a six week old kebab in a student's flat, and Hayley, the coquettish prostitute with whom he maintains a "talking" relationship.

    What could have been a smutty exercise in "phwoar, phwoar!" puns and unpleasant set-pieces, actually turns out to have enormous heart and warmth in a beautifully understated manner, without the saccharine fairy-tale moments of something like "Pretty Woman."

    "Respectable" deserves full respect for being witty, charming and incredibly down-to-earth... with a happy ending.
