"Art can never exist without naked beauty displayed," said William Blake. But the moral guardians of daytime TV take a different view. The Channel 4 programme Life Class caused conniptions last week by showing a woman sitting very still with no clothes on.
The point of the programme is to replicate a real life class, with the viewers at home encouraged to pick up a pencil. The camera stays fixed on the model from one angle, only occasionally cutting away to take a peek at what the "tutor" – one of a series of distinguished artists – has drawn.
It is filmed in a determinedly untitillating way, more Open University than Nuts magazine, and in fact the first three episodes went out last week without any kerfuffle. It was only on Thursday – when Kirsten Varley, a fashion model of uncommon loveliness, dropped her silky dressing gown and stepped on to the dais – that the forces of puritanism pricked up their ears.

LOL. Which parts of SJ are NOT the good parts?
This is an absolute horror!
Letting people look for free, at a nude art pose, when they could be paying a hard working panderer for real porn!
What is the world coming to?!?
You PAY for porn?
I suspect they are more likely to pick up a phallus.
England has Puritans? I thought they fled Europe for America hundreds of years ago.
JERRY: (seeing Elaine enter Monk’s) Oh, great. Elaine. What is wrong with my body?
ELAINE: Chicken wing shoulder blades.
JERRY: That’s it?
ELAINE: No, but that’s one problem. Why?
JERRY: Well, I was walking around naked in front of Melissa the other day—
ELAINE: Whoa! Walking around naked? Ahh... that is not a good look for a man.
GEORGE: Why not? It’s a good look for a woman.
ELAINE: Well, the female body is a... work of art. The male body is utilitarian, it’s for gettin’ around, like a jeep.
JERRY: So you don’t think it’s attractive?
ELAINE: It’s hideous. The hair, the... the lumpiness. It’s simian.
GEORGE: Well, some women like it.
ELAINE: Hmm. Sickies.

Maybe, but it's going to make CCW a whole new experience.
Will there ever be a life scenario in which one can’t quote Seinfeld?
TOTUS taking a fall?
Lol.
