Lucy Griffiths arse in True Blood episode 1, Sophie Rundle topless in Episodes episode 6

Lucy Griffiths showed her arse but kept her bra on in a sex scene in the first episode of True Blood.  Sophie Rundle had a spectacular and long topless scene in episode 6 of Episodes.  Clips are online of both of them.

Thanks to various commentors for updates, Michael D says that In Deadtime, Emily Welch, Alex Marieka Hanly and Elle Wood are topless.  I listed Tanner Hall as a prospect last time, no nudity in that from any British actresses.  BBC Watcher said that there was a semi-nude scene in a recent episode (the second) of Live At The Electric, this was an unidentified actress walking around with her arse out.

There's been no nudity in Bedlam series 2 so far and I don't expect any.  There was nothing in episode 1 of True Love.

Recent BBFC clearances

Some recent BBFC clearances:

The Hour series 2 episode 1 contains images of sexualised nudity. Romola Garai, Anna Chancellor and Oona Chaplin are the lead actresses.

Deadtime is a film which opened in the middle of May, the ECI lists "a prolonged sequence in which the killer terrorises a bare breasted woman before stabbing her. The sequence is further sexualised by its juxtaposition with a consensual sex scene. Cuts were required to this sequence to remove some of the more sexualised shots of violence, including a knife being traced between a woman's breasts and a knife being thrust into the woman's crotch. In another scene, a man has his throat slit immediately after shots of him having sex with a bare breasted woman." Lead actresses are Elisabeth Shahlavi, Alex Marieka Hanly, Elle Wood and Emily Welch.

Tanner Hall is a film coming out on DVD, moderate sex and brief nudity are listed and the cast includes Georgia King.

Rosamunde Pilcher's Shades Of Love is a TV show that contains moderate sex and nudity. If any British actresses have nude scenes in it, it's likely to be the reliably naked Rebecca Night.

True Blood, True Love and other prospects

The new series of True Blood starts in the USA on Sunday night, Lucy Griffiths is the British hope for nudity, she was asked in an interview how naked she got and replied "half".

The BBC's True Love (originally called Love Life) starts on Sunday June 17th at 10:25pm and there's an episode a day with the last 2 episodes on Wednesday night. It's post watershed so nudity is possible. We know that there aren't any sex scenes in the Billie Piper/Kaya Scodelario episode (3). The most likely actresses for nudity are Vicky McClure in the first episode and Jaime Winstone in the second.

ITV are developing a second series of Marchlands, the first series had nudity from Alex Kingston and Sophie Stone.

The Hollywood Reporter reports that Evanna Lynch is making a new film called Monster Butler.  The report suggests a possible sex scene "Lynch will play Fiona Carrick-Smith, who is intrigued by her upper-class family’s new and seemingly all-knowing butler. Seeing him as an older, wiser confidant, she confesses her misgivings for her upcoming marriage and her longing for dangerous excitement. She soon acts on her desires with the butler -- acts of reckless behavior that lead to betrayal and tragedy."

According to Nudography.com, Decoding Annie Parker is a film that should contain sex. Alice Eve and Samantha Morton are among the lead actresses.

The BBC have changed the name of The Ladies Paradise to The Paradise and announced the cast. I have a feeling that despite the potential in the format, it'll be a pre-watershed series. The lead actresses, who don't have a good record for nudity, are Sarah Lancashire, Elaine Cassidy and Joanna Vanderham.

Esme Bianco topless scene in Game Of Thrones episode 10

I've been on holiday so watch out for a few posts catching up on things that have happened while I was away.

The only notable British nudity was an Esme Bianco topless scene in the last episode of Game Of Thrones. Clips in the usual places. The BBFC had listed strong sex for episode 3 of Silk, this was between Indira Varma and Rupert Penry-Jones but the only nudity was Penry-Jones' arse. Varma has done plenty of nudity so I guess they're not willing to include female nudity.
