I saw an interview in a TV mag and it mentioned that for this, the director asked her to do her first ever nude scene! I didn't expect much from a young soap star, a side boob or bum in a bad light was what I anticipated. No, Anna did more than that and in full lighting too.
Full on FF and sitting on a Dick with another fully nude actor stroking her. No wonder she went on to bigger and better scenes. One of the all time classic BBC TV nude scenes, IMHO. Warning, male FF nudity in this clip too.

Actually, if I recall rightly it may of been somewhat different. I remember reading a interview Anna did for The Sun newspaper after she left Brookside in 1995. She had done a photo shoot that involved her wearing a bowler hat and suspenders (like cabaret), but in it I recall her saying how she had received a number of scripts sent her that all involved nudity in it, but she turned them down, as she didn't want to do nudity after leaving Brookside to advance her career. However, after saying this, I only recall her appearing in Cadfael and didn't work on screen again for the next 2 years! It was only when she relented on her stance on nudity that she got work again, and her first role she got was in The Tribe. Hope this helps.
