BBC Four - Rich Man, Poor Man, Ben Dover Straightens

Documentary about porn star Ben Dover's attempts to become a serious actor.

Documentary about porn star and producer Ben Dover's attempts to be taken seriously as a straight actor, as he searches for personal fulfilment in his life.

For years, Ben Dover has been one of Britain's top porn performers and producers. This fictional character, a middle-aged man who women can't resist, is the alter-ego of one Lindsay Honey. 

Porn has made him rich but dissatisfied, and he has always yearned to be taken seriously as a straight actor. Now, when money is not an issue but personal fulfilment is, he sets out to achieve his dream of performing, with lines and a costume. 

Can he make it or will his previous success make him unemployable?

Knowledge, arts, music and culture from the UK and the world.

BBC Four reflects arts, music and culture with an ambitious range of intellectually and culturally enriching programmes, taking an expert and in-depth approach to its subjects.
