The channel is showing five life drawing classes through the week as part of its education show Life Class: Today's Nude.

Each half-hour broadcast has a different model and tutor to tell viewers about art and drawing techniques, guiding them through drawing their own picture as if they are in a real life class.

But dozens of viewers complained to the channel claiming they saw too much of fashion model Kirsten Varley at 12.30pm yesterday.

One viewer, Punteha Yazdanian, 23, said: "It was adult viewing, not for screening in the middle of the day."

The model posed for 30 minutes in a variety of poses as artist Gary Hume discussed the techniques in life drawing.

Alan Kane, the artist behind the programme, said earlier this week: "Because it is educational and non-sexualised nudity, Channel 4 didn't have any concerns with it at all."

A spokesman for Ofcom said: "We have received a small number of complaints which are being assessed against the broadcasting code."

He added that they were not looking to investigate the complaints at this time.

Section 1.18 of Ofcom's Broadcasting Code says: "Nudity before the watershed must be justified by the context."

What a sad reflection on our society, some of the comments are very enlightening in the second link. I do wonder what these people think of nudity in paintings, do they allow their children to see them? If so then is it not hypicritical to then complain about viewing the picture being drawn?

Anyone see any of these? I wouldn't be particularly interested in watching them (I can't draw to save my life) but I know plenty of people who would have loved to have seen this, both who have gone to life drawing classes themselves and who would like to.
 
I love the fact that complaints were only made of the one programme with the decent young female model. :p
 
Bunch of retards, I can't see anyone complaining here when sexcetera is on @ 11pm showing all kinds of off fetishes, or all the sex phone numbers... I wish people got off their high horses in the UK and US, imo some of you are completely out of your mind censoring and moaning about everything, not just nudity but also stuff like swearing, I mean I heard they beep/blank out the f word in the song ''Lily Allen - **** You'', come on... Same thing with south park, I once had a guy who found it stupid south park was on @ 6pm here saying kids shouldn't see it...

Who do (some of) you guys think nudity and swearing is like the the devil ( or well, more than here anyways) and think children will be brainwashed on hearing a swearie, playing a violent game, or seeing some nudity or even porn?

Pics or it didn't happen. ;)

No the fact that some nudity (that was not graphic or of a sexual nature) has caused an uproar.

People can play the whole "Think of the children card" but lets be honest, the vast majority of children SHOULD be at school when this was broadcast, and the ones that would have seen, can easily see more on the internet.

Why are people so offended.
 
I often walk around the house nude, too lazy to get dressed, and i think i seen Huddy standing naked at the end of his drive :D ... its like a donkey!

. The point is that Channel 4 knows perfectly well that (1) many parents do not want their children to see adult nudity on TV and (2) that many of these same adults trust the TV stations not to show it before the watershed. Channel 4 has betrayed that trus
