Over 900 Ofcom complaints have been filed against Channel 4’s current series Naked Education.
The show, led by Anna Richardson, Dr. Alex George, and Yinka Bokinni, tries to untangle teens’ connections with their bodies by showing them naked people and having some rather candid conversations.
Some viewers were ‘uncomfortable’ with the premise, which promotes body positivity.
The programme was chastised in the first episode for displaying teenagers nude bodies of strangers.
One person seethed: ‘Channel 4 Naked Education is NOT it. Showing children under 16 MINORS, people, strangers I should say, standing fully naked in front of them. WHY? Absolutely not. They do NOT need to see strangers fully naked to be educated on the body.’
‘Not being funny but how is it allowed that old grown men are able to stand in front of 14 and 15-year-old kids fully naked I don’t even care its an experiment,’ another added.
So far, the television watchdog has received 930 complaints.
Speaking about the show earlier this week Anna, 52, said: ‘Naked Education is sort of one step further than Naked Attraction, as it says: “Let’s normalise bodies, let’s have the conversation about what we go through and let’s actually educate the nation.”
Anna remembered an especially memorable episode in which Finn, a transgender man, addressed having his penis surgically made and even displayed the results on video.
