There is plenty of nudity. The trouble is it was all shot at night so it's nearly invisible in parts.

Yes, I see what you mean. Interesting that much of the film's nudity follows the TV version, just better lighting. At least, though, they did a proper adaptation of a DH Lawrence novel. Did you see the recent version of Lady Chatterley (2015) with Holly Grainger compared to Ken Russell's 1993 TV version? Pitiful.
Anyway, here is another video from an old TV drama, this time from Lynda La Plante's Comics (1993), starring Michelle Fairley before she became famous, and a long way off from Game of Thrones. Indeed, although she started out acting in 1987, this was her first ever nude scene. It involves her in bed with her boyfriend (played by Tim Guinee), who is in hiding in Scotland after witnessing a murder. As Guinee dresses, he begins to have a psychotic episode as he thinks back to a childhood tragedy where his mother drowned herself with his sister, and he asks her repeatedly why she would abandon him like that. Michelle bares her breasts a number of times in the scene, then when Guinee leaves the room, she then turns and bares her bum as she gets back into bed and calls up her former boyfriend. It's a long scene, and she certainly earns her acting credentials here!
