Summary

John O’Farrell and Angela Barnes take a not-so-serious look at the most captivating and bizarre moments in history. This time things get very silly as John sneaks a peek at nakedness and how our attitudes to it has changed throughout history. He insists that this is a serious sociological and historical study and not at all an excuse to giggle at bare bottoms.
