It\\\'s weird: we used to take the piss out of American TV for being ridiculously prudish about female nudity and especially nipples, but they\\\'re opening up a bit now and at least getting into the 20th century concerning TV nudity: it\\\'s British TV that\\\'s buttoning up and getting prudish/nannyish/feminist about this. We\\\'ve imported the L-shaped sheets American Tv doesn\\\'t seem to need any more.

I suspect a lot of the change Roger Ebert refers to in the page quote is that in the 1970\'s and 80\'s, practically every writer, director, producer, TV exec, was male. So of course the actresses would be required to go tits-out at every opportunity. Scroll forward to 2010s and onward - especially in broadcast drama in the BBC/ITV, the other applies - lots of women in exec positions. So either no nudity, the return of the L-shaped sheet, and actors required to go balls-out while the women get to remain covered up, or their nudity is either implied or done in vague long-shot or out of focus.
