[Bounci]

I didn't expect to come across another British comedy with nudity in, especially so far back as 1969. But I did by chance after watching a documentary of the Ronnie Barker sitcom Porridge. In it it showcased Barker's early career, including a clip from a TV series he did called Hark at Barker from 1969 to 1970. And in episode 2 of the first series (titled Rustless and Women) there is a clip of him as an artist who lets in a female model, who promptly drops her coat to reveal she is naked. For 1969 this is quite a surprise, and although the scene is brief it doesn't stint on the nudity. I'm afraid I don't know the name of the actress, but the only two listed in the credits who are a possibility are Dave Allen's regular hoppo Jacqueline Clarke and the late Jo Kendall, who worked with the Monty Python team before this and later became famous for her role as Peggy Skilbeck in the TV soap Emmerdale Farm. And frankly the woman in this video doesn't really look like either of them! The only other unfortunate thing is that Barker's sculptor looks rather similar to another now disgraced Aussie artist, whose name just escapes me...
