Horizon. What's the problem with nudity? Series 45, Episode 13
Description
Ten volunteers undress inside a peep-show booth. They're being watched, and they know it. Behind a bank of two-way mirrors a row of anonymous eyes look on. But who's more uncomfortable, the watchers or the watched? There are lots of theories about why we lost our fur. Charles Darwin guessed our ancestors simply found smooth skin more attractive, and over millions of years of selection, hairy humans lost out. But while the struggle to attract a mate explains why humans are still hairless, it doesn't explain why we lost our fur in the first place. And how has losing our fur changed our perception of physical contact? In this thought-provoking programme, Horizon explores the evolutionary origins of a uniquely human condition.
