There was a bit of an issue with vanity and with being embarrassed - I think there is when you are naked - but for me it was part of my job.
I read the book before I went in to see the director, and he said to me very gently that there was a certain amount of nudity which I would have to do. Hall, who has appeared in other ITV programmes such as A&E, Playing the Field and Fat Friends, said: "I think that I was prepared for what was going to happen, so I wasn't too horrified when we were shooting. "We didn't want to be coy in any way, and so we aimed to film the scenes fully nude without inhibitions, and whatever came out on film, came out."
We came clean to them about the adaptation, and how much sex we were planning on putting in, and they said, 'Yes fine, go ahead.' The level of sex was not a surprise to ITV. "It was always thought of as a post-watershed programme. He said ITV always knew about the amount of sex. We decided that the way to tackle the adaptation of the book was to follow them into the bedroom." "It was there in the book but in a more coded way. The drama is about Paul discovering sex, and so of course there is a lot of sex in the drama. Full frontal nudity in British television drama is extremely rare.įormer Coronation Street star, Sarah Lancashire, also appears in the adaptation.Ĭharlie Pattinson, the executive producer, said: "DH Lawrence is all about sex so really there's no other way of tackling it. Rupert Evans, who plays Paul Morel, is also seen twice fully naked from the front. The second, which focuses on the sexual awakening of her son Paul, is likely to set pulses racing faster.Įsther Hall, who plays Paul's married lover Clara Dawes, is in several scenes which show full-frontal nudity. The first two-hour episode, focusing on Gertrude Morel's marriage to Walter, and the adolescence of her sons, has a mere six sex scenes. In the £5m drama, there are nine explicit sex scenes in one hour alone, including several images of full-frontal female nudity.
