| Summary |
*Adult Themes, Nudity, Sexual References*With the number of strip clubs having doubled over the past 10 years, more and more young British women are turning to lap dancing to make a living. Filmed over the course of 5 months in Scotland's three largest cities - Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen - Strippers is a new 3-part series that meets dancers, club owners and punters hell bent on having a good time. We discover how they cope with the stigma attached to their profession and the impact it has on their friends, family and relationships.In this opening episode we are in the Glasgow strip-club Diamond Dolls. It sprawls over three floors and employs over 40 dancers. It's run by house-mother Shelley, who has worked in the business for 20 years, first as a dancer and later looking after the girls. The program watches the dancers as they learn to juggle love, life and lap dancing. We meet former gymnast Kim, who gave up her gold medals to lap dance, and Laefena, who has come to the UK to earn enough to pay off the debts from her nursing degree.PRODUCTION DETAILS:A Firecracker Film for Channel 4 |
