British shows have a different ratings systems, with the bar at a different level, particularly with ITV which is more permissive (similar to American cable networks whereas the BBC is more like the broadcast networks).
I did however notice that the bar seems to have gone up this season; previously they had only used one or two
s
and maybe one passing breast while this year they even used
f
a couple of times.
Actually, American networks are really pushing it these days as well; several shows on NBC have been showingpresumablynude people albeit pixelated, and last night on
Betrayal
, ABC blurred the womans breast because it was slightly visible since the producers were obviously trying to show as much of her as they could get away with.

is this stuff allowed in the UK?
Yes, very much so. I (an American) was a student in London in 1984, and I was astonished to see people on the tube reading tabloids with a big portrait of a topless women on page 3. (A new one every day.)
What the tabloids were doing was gross and a sexist objectification of women. That said, the UK is far more adult and relaxed with regard to nudity and swearing. Geez, virtually every industrialized nation is, compared with the prudish US. (How many times does a US TV show show, at the end of a hetero sex scene, a bare-chested man and a woman with a bra or teddy? Like they really had sex that way!)
If partial nudity is integral to the plot, it should be there. In the orig "House of Cards," c. 1990, there was a post-sex shot of an adulterous middle-aged couple with the blanket at waist level, and quite naturally both were naked to the waist. The US which is happy to exploit every part of a woman's body save a few cc of nipple or pubic hair, and then goes nutty when women breast-feed in public! the US needs to grow up.
