Nikki And Helen Bad Girls

Bad Girls was a lesbian TV series in the UK which was such an amazing breath of fresh air. Before L word there was bad girls. Surprising because of it's bold lesbian content and the possibility that the girl could get the girl

Bad girls is a prison drama [hang on, I can almost here your heavy sighs], this one was really good, at least the first three seasons were
Basically Nikki Wade is an out lesbian and previously successful business women who is in prison for murdering a police officer. From the start you see Nikki is angry and has a problem with the authorities. We eventually find out why, but initially her angst which she lavishes on her prison warden Helen Stewart is a little confusing. Helen Stewart, a senior prison warden with an ever so sexy Scottish accent, is just one of those nice, well meaning women who wants to get the best out of her prisoners. She believes firmly in rehabilitation and a second chance and all that.
Eventually Helen and Nikki's constant friction develops into a mutual curiosity and the bases of an award winning and totally compulsive TV show

Similar to The L word, Bad Girls was a show that appealed not only to lesbians but to straight women and men as well

Thought it deserved to be our first clip of 2010
