I have been painting and drawing now for 9 years and have enjoyed the first three progammes and benefited from the artists comments especially Maggie Hamlin I have drawn along with them and fell that the amount of time allowed for this is excellent. Will the artists drawings and the nude models themselves be shown. While 12.30 is a good time for me most of us cook at 6pm or commute. I am retired and totally unphased by the body but after a career in the health service was very used to naked form

Hmmmmm, I caught about 20 seconds of this programme whilst on a lunch break today (approx 12.45) complete with full front nudity of a male, I immediately turned it over in disgust and shock that this was able to be transmitted.
Completely unnecessary airing – should of been pixelated.
Shocking stuff for that time of day.

It is worth remembering that censorious attitudes towards the body result in harm and that most of that harm is to children and young people. It is not coincidence that the countries with the worst hang ups about the body have ten times the teenage pregnancy and teenage abortion rates of the most open. Every time a programme such as this is censored in encourages the attitudes that result in the UK having such absolutely appalling record compared to other European countries. Children don’t have any problem with nudity so are we really going to continue hiding adult hang ups behind a smokescreen of mistaken concern for children?
