Secret Diary of a Body Double


This show needs a tongue-in-cheek spin-off about the secret life of a body double who stands in for actresses like Billie Piper who don't fit the required look when naked. A kind of behind-the-scenes look where we frequently see the camera pan from body to head in one shot, or from a crew member's perspective etc. There's plenty of capable actresses who would do it. In fact, many big name actresses are showing their full kit anyway, unfortunately others like Piper aren't as anatomically blessed. That's where our protagonist comes in. Think of Joanna Page in that cute scene from Love Actually and then expand on their daily life. The romances, the friendships, the awkward moments on set. It could be a drama/comedy.

I thought she was pregnant for like, half the show.

Billie's body looks darned good to me in lingerie.

I'd imagine the "no nudity" clause is for moral reasons. What's the big deal, do you feel entitled to see her goodies? Is that the only reason you watch TV?

Uhm... have you guys actually watched the show?

Billie Piper appears naked at least twice in the first season -- no body double there. She most definitely fits the "required look when naked", as you can plainly see -- at least she did then.

What happened was that she got pregnant, and from the second season and onwards she either used a double or they simply filmed it without actual nudity. Perhaps she never quite "recovered" from the birth physically, or she chose not to do any more nudity for some ridiculous reason or other (probably something to do with her new situation as a mother, I have no idea).

I think the series definitely suffered from that, because it's so very, very distractingly obvious. After all, the series is largely about the sex-life of this chick, professional and private.

Otherwise, John Dee 007: Good idea for a show.

Here's proof, by the way -- Ms. Piper in all her glory; no body double in sight:

Yup, definitely her. Only a body double in one season when she was pregnant.
