After leaving the National Theatre, Ivor had another small part in ‘Personal Services’ a film directed by Terry Jones, of Monty Python fame. Julie Walters stars as suburban brothel Madame, Christine Painter, with some highly unusual clients. Inspired by the real experiences of the legendary Cynthia Payne, the film is a revealing, hilarious and uproarious account of Christine's adventures as she climbs the ladder to fame and notoriety blending those elements with a genuine warmth, and taking a hysterical look at sexual diversity and English reserve. Other leading parts were played by Alec McCowen & Shirley Stelfox.
