[Bounci]

The strange and rarely repeated Mr Pye (1986) saw Derek Jacobi's missionary turn up on the Isle of Skye to convert the somewhat heathen islanders to religion, and one of the islanders in his sight was the somewhat randy and free spirited Tanty (Robin McCaffrey). In episode 2 he encounters her coming back from a naked swim, and after first hiding away in the bushes Tanty decides to brasen it out and walks completely naked up to him. For Mr Pye, instead of being offended he sees it as totally innocent, natural and spiritual - a sentiment that should be explained to all women in an effort to "discover their spiritual side" (so to speak). Mind you, it gets weird when she notices two marks on his back and he later discovers he is growing wings. So, in a bid to remove them he decides to do bad things and at the end of this episode he ends up ripping off her dress and spanking her with a birch. Very kinky! That scene however is not in this video as I presumed you would only want to see the nude scene.

For Robin McCaffrey this was her first ever role, so she obviously knew that if she wanted to break into the business she had to grin and bare it for her art and her career. And boy, it certainly spares her no blushes here! Yet remarkably she didn't get another role for 3 years! Maybe she was doing theatre, but Robin did eventually get her career going in the early 1990's, with roles in Boon (1991), Poirot (she was the Yellow Iris victim in said titled episode) (1993) and Dr Finlay (1996), though her most notbale role was in the film Four Weddings & a Funeral (1994) as Serena in the first wedding. After Darkness Falls (1999) she then went 20 years without a role before turning up in 2019 in the comic relief special for...Four Weddings & a Funeral (aka One Red Nose Day and a Wedding)! Swings and roundabouts, as they say, but her bravery in Mr Pye deserved a far better career than she got. Girl, we salute you!
