It's on! Look! It's on!
1:06:12
... has been speaking to the instigator
1:06:14
of the world's first
nude WI calendar, Chris Harper.

1:06:19
(reporter) So, Chris,
tell us how it all came about,

1:06:21
cos you wouldn't normally associate
the Women's Institute with nudity.

1:06:25
No, the usual image of the WI calendar
is of plums and jam and country views.

1:06:31
We thought if glamour photographers
can do it on a beach in Bangkok,

1:06:35
we can do it in a church hall near Skipton.
1:06:44
Fantastic.
1:06:49
I was trying to get in there.
1:06:53
Middle age didn't put them off stripping off,
1:06:55
and now these women are hogging
the headlines across the north.

1:06:59
Chris Harper's behind it. Rather than fall
back on the usual twee landscape scenes,

1:07:04
she talked her friends into posing nude
for the local Women's Institute calendar.

1:07:08
Not quite the jam and "Jerusalem"
the ladies are usually known for.

1:07:12
Chris says their husbands will never
look at their wives in the same way again.

1:07:16
Neither will the other members
of this quiet little Dales community.
