The Sun and Mail Online have been accused of being reductive and irresponsible after publishing nude photographs of Jodie Whittaker in articles covering the announcement that she is the new star of Doctor Who.
Reporting the BBCs announcement on Sunday that Whittaker would be the first female Doctor, both publications ran articles about Whittaker appearing naked or topless in previous acting work, illustrating the stories with stills.

The Sun published the photographs under the headline Dalektable a reference to the Daleks, an enemy of the Doctor. The article covered pages four and five of the newspaper and described Whittakers saucy screen past. Mail Onlines article was headlined Doctor Nude! and also featured naked and topless photos of previous male Doctors, including Christopher Eccleston, David Tennant and Matt Smith.

We are seeing more and more male full-frontal nudity.
One day - nudity will be boring.
Except - you know - on the internet.
