Nudity On The Telly

[ATS]

Following on from your first celebrity crush - what is the first tv show
you remember watching that had lots of nakedness

The first one I recall was Casanova with Frank Finlay - lots of nude girls
in that series. A definite Mary Whitehouse favourite at the time

A Boy Meeets Girl play from 1967 possibly Isobel Black.

[Dickie Davies]

The first Moll Flanders with Julia Foster - I can still picture her boobs (I've just googled it - 1975!)

i seem to remember a series from the 70's about a university lecturer who screwed around, quite a bit of nudity in it. just can't remember the title.

Possibly Malcolm Bradbury's 'The History Man' (1981), with Anthony Sher and Geraldine James.

As a lad in the 60's and 70's I seem to remember tits, arses, fannies (proper ones as well) even cocks in the many of the adult dramas and films of the time. This was 'the age of Aquarius? a post hippy period when lettin' it all hang out in the name of art was the order of the day. But that was before poncy middleclass fuckers brought politics into sex by way of the 'wimmin's' lib movement that had become fashionable on American uni campuses during the 70?s. Back in the 60?s and 70?s sex was fun, sex was life. Nowadays, you hardly see any nudity on terrestrial TV and in some ways we are much more repressed than back then. Now, broadcasting corporations like the Beeb are ?manned? (oops ? sexist word there. I must report to room 101) by those poncy privileged twats who thought it would be cool to embrace wimmin?s lib, and as a result TV is far more snotty, uptight and PC. By the end of the 70?s the middle classes deemed sex, and overt displays of female sexuality, to be demeaning to ?wimmin? and they went to work expunging any programming and light entertainment acts that displayed such leanings from the schedules ? like Benny Hill, for instance. Today it is a no-no amongst PC fuckers to portray women as glamorous and sexual. So what you get served up on telly now are loads of unattractive, ?feisty? (i.e., lairy) ball busting women in improbable positions of power, kicking men?s asses and wearing the trousers in more ways than one. I say it?s all fucking bollocks ? what about you?

That would have been the hell that was Channel 4's 'The Word' with a dire cast of presenters who had the collective intelligence of a biscuit.

Mark Lamarr done well to turn his career round from that travesty.

In the 70s Australia had 2 of the most explicit & ground breaking Soap operas

Number 96 & The Box

Fast Forward to 1991 and a show called Chances which spings to life sounding like the new version of the old gems but soon runs aground because of all the restrictions...nudity is either in full context or its nothing

Promoted to be a sophisticated, stunning shift in the direction of Australian programming, it soon began to smell like a forgotten cooked chicken in the boot (trunk) of the family car. The show caused a lot of controversy when first aired simply because of the fact that it contained a lot of tits and bum.
If that nudity had have been in full context it wouldn't have died as the laughing stock that it became

Film seems to be able to get away with a lot more than TV
