Flair

1990 mini-series, vhs quality

Johnny's comments:

Uncut/unedited copy of the elusive Australian mini-series Flair. Not only is this copy of Flair complete, it's also better quality than the previous version I found, so that was a nice little bonus.

Looking at both copies of the mini-series I have, it looks like that in the 'cut' version, the Imogen Annesley nude scene isn't so much cut as edited to fit into a certain time slot. The uncut copy looks like that it's from the original showing as it features the outdated AO rating, which was replaced in 1993, while the 'cut' version has the current M rating. If I am to hazard a guess, I think the 'cut' version was shown in the midday movie time slot, which has a habit of having random cuts for time more than for its content. I base this on a scrolling news message which appears at various times which only happens during the day. Also, it turns out that over 6 minutes was excised from part 1 of Flair but the scenes cut are just large chunks from earlier in the episode and seem unrelated to the content as sexy scenes featuring Heather Thomas (and her double) are untouched. It just so happens that Imogen's nude scene happens about 10 minutes in and as it was part of a 2 1/2 minute scene taken from the episode, the cut unfortunately included that scene.

I've also included videos of American actress Heather Thomas, who is the actual lead of the mini-series. There are a few scenes where Heather's character is naked but all of the nudity is done by a double. A double is listed in the credits, only as Colette (no, not the Collette of Ring My Bell fame).
