Body Quote by Russell T Davies
![“You’re far more likely to see a naked woman than a naked man. It’s only [seen as] rude because the rest of television is rather tame – it doesn’t actually talk about sex and our bodies and how we feel about them. I’m not out to shock.” quote by Russell T Davies](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/42c/russell-t-davies-13415_body_you-re-far-more-likely-to-see-a-naked-wo_2447019.jpg)
