Radio Times: Review by:; David Crawford

In these straitened times, journalist Storm Theunissen wonders if there is a way to make a quick buck from selling her body. She decides against flogging her kidney in a back alley or becoming a prostitute. She does, however, find a fetish website where she can sell clippings and fluid. From there the titillating tone becomes more sober as she confronts the bleak reality of working as a lap dancer, and explores the reality of selling eggs for IVF. It’s a salutary lesson in treasuring your body.
