Therein probably lies the problem.  I've not watched that but I recall 
that in
some of Lucy's programmes there's an element of fanciful re-creation (ie 
actors
pretending to be historical characters)...   At the same time, her 
programmes
are the sort of thing that brings history alive and perhaps therefore 
the sort
of things parents might want their kids to see.  I think they'd have 
needed to
gloss over precisely what harlots were.
