The Only Hooker in the Village

August 18th, 2008 by Dan Hill

Imagine how a tabloid newspaper would’ve handled this story: primary schoolteacher turns sex-worker in small town in regional Australia.

Yet despite the title, this ABC documentary is deftly handled (cough), occasionally moving, sometimes funny, and full of the easy complexity of real life. It’s followed by another programme on related matters: Sydney’s notorious Kings Cross/Darlinghurst scene of the 1950s, and this show has a little more sauce. As you might expect, there are a few sexual references here.
