Actually it was a censored full frontal shot- The Sunday Sport did promise more the following week but they never appeared.

One shot shows her topless with hands covering breasts, another shows a nipple and lower half of breast but not her face although the background and her tattoo provide continuity.  (Sunday People 22/04/2001) (unrelated to the above picture from The Sun which was a photograph)
J Kelly Brook (Presenter/Actress) - laying naked on her front topless in a side view and wearing a sailor's cap. Picture was taken when she was 16 and may or may not have been seen before (I've not seen it though). It was originally to be used in an advert for flooring with the slogan "The only way to get laid" but was banned. (Sunday People 22/04/2001)

L Sarah Odell (Model/UK Survivor contestant) - nude but covered laying on her side in the sea - a posed-for picture from a modelling session.  (NOTW 20/05/2001).

J Davinia Taylor - lying on the floor beside a bed with one breast out of her top.
I don't get Sky so coverage of this programme isn't necessarily comprehensive

Tales From Pleasure Beach (BBC2)     3 one-off dramas from BBC Wales with different characters but in the same location
1) Laid (02/08/2001)
L Joanna Griffiths (Kelly) - topless sitting on the edge of a bed with her hands covering her breasts while making a porn video - and a sex scene with a man - but no nipple nudity.
2) Lush (09/08/2001)
J Eve Myles (Ange) - topless lying in bed with one breast showing in a lovemaking scene with a man.
The other girl, Siwan Morris (Karen), was not in any revealing scenes but, by coincidence, was topless later the same evening in a short film called "Suckerfish" (see further below)
3) Faithless (16/08/2001)
L Michelle McTernan (Tracey) - topless standing with her breasts against a man's chest with a small edge of one nipple showing.

Take Me (ITV - ep1:05/08/2001, ep2:06/08/2001, ep3:13/08/2001)
J (ep1)Delma Walsh (Janet Taylor) - standing topless in front of Robson Green after letting her dress fall to the ground.
J (ep2)Jane Dixon (Jenny) - topless side view as she sits astride RG and leans down to flatten herself against his chest - her face is not seen at the time but it is when she rolls off him in a continuous shot - no nipple nudity but her pendulous breasts are seen fully hanging.
J (ep3)Gillian Davison (Connie Heston) - topless letting her dress fall to the ground while a man watches.  Although named in the dialogue after her appearance she was shown only as "Blonde Woman" in the credits - a process of elimination established that this must have been her.
• also in Ep3 a naked dead body was seen topless with a plastic bag over its head - we are supposed to think it is Connie yet it turns out to be Janet - however it was probably neither actress and simply a body double.
Nothing to mention from the remaining episodes

Suckerfish (BBC2 - 09/08/2001)  a 15-minute short from BBC Wales
J Joanne McQuinn (Caitlin) - full frontal getting out of bed, and more full frontal dancing around the room.  And briefly seen with her top lifted up in a toilet cubicle with her boyfriend.
J Siwan Morris (Prostitute) - topless wearing an open shirt sitting astride Caitlin (she was a birthday treat from Caitlin's boyfriend)  She had no speaking role and was listed in the credits as "prostitute".
The copyright date was 2000 so it may have been on before but it didn't say (R) it my newspaper.

MOVIES

A difficult category this because the timing of a movie is difficult to pin down. Is it its release date in the US, the first time screenshots appear, its UK release, its first terrestrial TV showing, etc. Consequently this category is not very comprehensive.

The Gift (2000)
J Katie Holmes (Dawson's Creek - Joey Potter)- topless (although poor screen images did turn up late last year)
