A massage parlour run by a mother and daughter in the North of England will be the subject of a new documentary on Channel 4.

Announced at Channel 4's Upfront presentation for their best content coming up in 2015, The Massage Parlour promises to "reveal the workings of a rarely seen world".

Produced by Transparent TV, the one-hour special will explore the "ups and downs" of the family business.

The press release about the series adds:

"Run by a mother and daughter team, it's in many ways a typical warm and friendly family run enterprise - except for the personal services it offers.

"The establishment is one of the UK's only female-owned massage parlours. The Massage Parlour will explore the everyday life of the staff and the regular customers frequenting the establishment, challenging preconceptions and revealing the workings of a rarely seen world."
