With Miriam Margolyes voicing #BeepTheMeep in the upcoming #DoctorWho specials, reminded me of a blog post by #BBC Cameraman Roger Bunce about recording in 1975 "The Girls of Slender Means", which "was notable for the number of naked ladies involved."
An actress had “complained, “‘I’m expected to take all my clothes off in front of an all-male camera crew – when I haven’t even been introduced to them!’”

Mary Tamm, who went on to play Romana in #DoctorWho, suggested the crew take a photograph with their names.
“Miriam Margolyes agreed. Not only should it have all our names on but, under the circumstances, we should also have no clothes on!”
Margolyes was joking, but the crew got to thinking and went ahead and took the suggested photo.
Later, Margolyes, Tamm, Patricia Hodge and Jane Cussons responded with a similar photo in kind for Valentine’s Day!
