This video comes from Another Bouquet (1977), the sequel to the TV classic Bouquet of Barbed Wire, which gained notice among the critics for it's "adult content", despite little nudity (certainly compared to today's standard) in it. The sequel added a bit more flesh, mainly from Elizabeth Romilly, who popped up to comfort James Aubrey's character in the series. She appears topless in the series and this, along with the ghost story The Ice House (1978) gained her some notice in her career. However, success was brief and by 1982 she had appeared in her last screen role, in the anthology series Storybook International (Morwen of the Woodlands).

Renata Dancewicz in "Devilish Education“ has been mentioned in some older posts, but I didn't see it excerpted at OCC, despite its having apparently been a short film shown on Polish TV in 1994 or 1995; as the title here suggests, the yt version where I found this was Russian, so I apologize for the overlapping audio in both languages

Okay, one more (for one hopes the last) time before I conclude the posting of videos just won't cooperate for me here today: what was the first one I uploaded before it crapped out, then posted this one (the chronologically in the film and in my original post first of two clips), only to have it disappear, then get substituted for the one I had just put into the next post, resulting in the apparent double-posting directly preceding this one:

One lady who is no stranger to baring all is the lovely and raspy voiced Tara Fitzgerald. She has already appeared on OCC in both The Camomile Lawn (1993) (on here) and Sirens (1994) (elsewhere, I think), but I don't think her scenes from the TV series Anglo Saxon Attitudes (1992) have been shown on here before. So here she is, in what was a period drama, getting out of those old fashioned clothes before you could say Jack Robinson. She appears topless in all three episodes (mainly in flashback) and here are those scenes added together in one video for you all to enjoy.

Today's video is from the TV series Lost Empires (1986), a period drama and sees a pre-Pride & Prejudice Colin Firth giving Carmen Du Sautoy a present for Xmas (steady now), only for her to feel bad about not having one for him and decides to give him a special offer of her own (it's all right, it IS what you're thinking now!). Yes, our Colin stomps up those stairs to go in her bedroom to find her stood stark naked in her bedroom by her mirror before Colin comes and claims his prize. It's brief enough, so I have enlarged the nude clip to make it easier for those with "eye strain", but it has never been posted on here before (and yes, I have gone through all the videos on here to make sure).

As for Carmen, she came to fame as Saida, the belly dancing temptress in the James Bond film The Man with the Golden Gun in 1974 and went on to be a familiar face in many TV dramas, such as The Citadel (1983), The Orchid House (1991) and A Dance to the Music of Time (1997). Lost Empires wasn't the only time she stripped off, I may add - her first ever nude scene was a topless scene in the TV series Chessgame in 1983.

... and not forgetting "Blakes Seven".

Ah yes, very true. Here's another actress from that period (if not the series), one Isla Blair, who gained notice in this somewhat risque for the time series The History Man from 1981. The series would be even more controversial now, due to the subject matter of a university teacher (Anthony Sher) bedding his way through the students and staff on his campus. Isla plays one of his work colleagues and it was in this that she did her first ever nude scenes, appearing topless in a number of scenes with Sher. It wasn't the last time she would strip off either, as she went on to go topless in the anthology series Love Story in 1982 (episode: Alexa), Off Peak (1985) and The Final Cut (1995), which was the final part of the original House of Cards trilogy.

One video I'm surprised hasn't been on here is Dennis Potter's notorious 1989 drama Blackeyes, starring a young Gina Bellman (later of TV series Coupling) as a model who tries to make it into the industry and finds herself expolited and objectified by every man going in the business. For Gina this was her big break and she features topless in a number of scenes through 4 episodes (which can be found on Dailymotion). Those scenes include having to strip to a bkini in front of a judging panel before having to pull down her top to expose her breasts, having to take off her top for a modelling shoot, having sex with a executive, then being spied upon taking off her top before she finally strips off her clothes, fed up of men.

She clearly enjoyed working with Potter by the way she talks about him, and the nudity doesn't seem to of bothered her either, as she has later bared all in Everything I Like (1992), Little Napoleans (1994, TV), and Married /Unmarried (2001). She hasn't changed much in her looks either, and to be honest neither has the industry her character works for in Blackeyes. Anyway, enjoy her career making role in these clips of her in Blackeyes.

Some scenes from Fantastic Friends. She is shown wearing a tight one piece swimsuit.

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!
