Prithee, my lord, loosen our corsets and unbutton our breeches. This week has seen a new wave of period drama steam, from Natalie Dormer's BBC film The Scandalous Lady W to the furore about the 'pornographic' new adaptation of Lady Chatterley's Lover.
But they're hardly the first shows to bare historical breasts and bottoms. Here's our 9 favourite saucy costume dramas...
Pride and Prejudice
Ooh, Mr Darcy. We'll ease you in gently with the BBC's iconic 1995 Pride and Prejudice miniseries, fondly remembered for the scene in which Colin Firth's dashing hero takes a dip in the Pemberley lake and emerges to greet his unexpected guests, dripping like a dolphin in a wet T-shirt contest.

Natalie Dormer plays a feminist icon in BBC Two's new drama The Scandalous Lady W - but she thinks the point of feminism is "misconstrued by so many people".
The Scandalous Lady W casts the Game of Thrones actress as Seymour, Lady Worsley - a noblewoman who became notorious following her 'scandalous' separation from husband Sir Richard Worsley (Shaun Evans).

"It upsets me that it has to be seen in such rudimentary 'We're better than you,...
