You can see a rubbery sheen on it, and it noticeably contrasts with her actual skin around her neck. I frankly don't quite understand what the point of doing that is. If you're going to do a sketch where it appears that you're that realistically topless, then why not just go topless?

Enjoy

Thanks on both counts Mr F, you're a hero . I did have that same version of the Nude Practice sketch but thought it would fall foul of the forum's 'no watermarks' rule- there's a clear P@r@mount logo.

On the Tracy Ullman, fantastic, thanks- but all kind of things convince me that Haywood's nudity was real. First, Ullman's prosthetics are blatantly false, with no skin variegation and simplistic moulding, matt shadowing etc. Haywood's 'chest' colouration is much more subtle, with a healthy sheen. Second, Haywood's flash is just a second or so, compared with Ullman's 30 secs or so. Also, Ms Haywood was in her 50s, which explains the skin tonal difference between her usually exposed neck and her less exposed chest.

I don't know, these arguments were well had when it first aired, opinions are opinions. But your excellent high res video has just convinced me further after all this time!

She’s stated in several interviews that it was all prosthetics.

That rule only applies to website URLs and copyright symbols. TV network logos have always been OK.

Well of course she would.! It was just a cheeky flash, after all.

There's no comparison to me between Ullman's crude chestplate and Haywood's realistic one. I'm pretty unshakeable in my belief here, but like I say I'm not trying to convert anybody. Make up your own minds...

These are a couple of sketches that appear on The Dick Emery Comedy Hour from 1979 that I thought some on here might like. Both are pretty funny and although I don't know the name of the actress in the first sketch, the girl facing the firing squad in the 2nd is Debbie Linden, who died tragically young. Once a Page 3 girl, Debbie appeared in a number of film and TV stuff, including for Benny Hill, and her nude film appearances were Home Before Midnight (1979), The Ghost Sonata (1980,TV), The Wildcats of St Trinians (1980) and The Odd Job Man (1984). Sadly, Debbie also had a heroin addiction that lasted until an overdose in 1997 killed her. She was just 36.

I wonder about the little jump in editing at 1:27 . Did it broadcast that way originally?

I think there was a goodies sketch on the beach with some toplessness.. vague memory

There's a Benny Hill parody at the end of the episode called "Chubby Chumps". The plot has the boys being chased in fast motion by some girls in fat suits. After a few minutes of being chased around, they notice that the girls have lost all their extra weight and their long dresses are hanging loose on them. The Goodies stop running and and blow hard, causing the girls' dresses to blow off. Then the tables turn and they chase after the girls - it's hard to tell if they're wearing bikinis under the dresses or brightly colored 1970s underwear.
