Obvioulsy they wouldn't of been able to show her naked back then, but they get as good as. From the very first episode she has to strip down to her underwear when she is trapped in a flat she is searching only to hear the man's girlfriend approaching (crucial to the plot too, I'll have you know). In another scene she is completely naked with nothing to cover her modesty but a sun lamp, while in the most revealing scene yet in one episode she is in the bath when sidekick Fabiani visits her and when she gets out the bath you can see her through the glass door, where if you look close enough (or freeze frame it) you actually see her bum! Fabiani even quips that she's putting on a bit of weight, where Rosemary replies that she'll have the glass in the door changed tomorrow. If that had been done today I'm sure she'd of had him on a writ for his 'suggestion', but in 1960's Britain she just bats off his comment with humour

I did my own caps off the Department S bluray back in 2022. I'm posting them here as a supplement to Bounci's version as there are scenes he didn't add. Though I think I went a bit overboard on the frame advances. I probably wouldn't do so many these days.
