The Vice is an ITV police drama about the Metropolitan Police Vice Unit. Spanning five short series from 1999 and 2003, it follows the London Metropolitan police force's vice squad, where prostitution, underage sex, and such organised crime are regular occurrences. Most episodes end where the main villain is caught but often not in a 'naturally' concluded way expected from other TV dramas, and often ending with more unanswered questions than answered. Leader DI Pat Chappel struggles to manage the balance between his private and professional lives — as do the rest of the team. Working in the seedy underworld leads to a continual dilemma — the tension between the Vice Squad and vice-related crimes runs throughout the series and gives the show a rich viewing experience. The line of the team staying on the right side of the law is often blurred, as almost every member at different points submits briefly or permanently to the dubious temptations, sometimes with drastic consequences.

Dizimiz, Belle de Jour adlı bir telekızın blogundan ve kitaplarından esinlenilerek ortaya çıkartıldı. İlk başlarda bu gizemli Belle’in kim olduğu bilinmese de dizi popüler olduktan sonra -2009 senesinde - Brooke Magnanti, The Sunday Times‘a kimliğini açıkladı. Magnanti, 2003-2004 yılları arasında doktorasını yaparken, bir yandan da telekızlık yaptığını belirtti. Öncelikle, baş karakterimizin sıradan bir telekız olmadığını belirtmekte fayda var. Kendisi, gayet üst sınıf olarak tanımlanıyor. Belli bir ajansa bağlı olarak çalışıyor ve yaptığı işten gayet memnun. Ailesi ve arkadaş çevresi ne kadar durumun farkında olmasa da bu alemde Belle olarak tanıdığımız karakterimiz bir nevi paraya para demiyor. Londra’da yaşayan “Belle”in, yaptığı iş dolayısıyla biz seyirciler de bir sürü ilginç müşteriyle tanışıyoruz. Kimisinin komik ve absürd istekleri olurken, kimisinin de duygusallığı dikkatimizi çekiyor.
