[Bounci]

Following on the Scottish theme, this clip comes from a Scottish period drama called Sunset Song (1971) and it not only became a surprise TV hit, but it made a star of it's then unknown leading lady Vivien Heilbron. It is also notable for being the first Scottish drama to feature nudity on TV, though originally there wasn't any until Vivien - who was a huge fan of the novel this was based on by Lewis Grassic Gibbon - pointed out that the scene where her character discovers her sexuality and explores her body wasn't in the script. Mind you, she regretted mentioning it afterwards, as it meant she then had to appear nude on TV for the first and only time in her career. The nudity is tame by today's standards, but I thought I'd upload it as it hasn't featured on here before. It's an important nude landmark in Scottish television, and considering that they hadn't repeated it for 50 years, this might be the only chance you'll get to see it! Vivien bares her bottom, as well as her breasts briefly (you can clearly see her nipples at the bottom of the screen. After this she went on to star in Kidnapped (1971), The Moonstone (1972) and probably most famously as Kay Grant in Take the High Road in 1980.
