OFCOM say :

The inclusion of nudity, sexual behaviour, sexual imagery and references to sex should be editorially justified and defensible by the context in which they appear.

Before The Watershed

Nudity in a sexual context is unlikely to be acceptable before the watershed unless strictly limited, whereas nudity in the context of an item about health or education e.g. a beauty treatment or medical examination, is less likely to exceed viewers' expectations, for obvious reasons, although a flagging should be considered.

Full frontal nudity (both male and female), even in a non-sexual context, is unlikely to be acceptable before the watershed, unless there is a serious educational reason for showing it.

Since I've seen neither of the programs you mention, I can't say whether they stick to the guidelines .....

Not that bothered what the official Ofcom stance is, but given that those programs still get aired I'd presume they don't consider it a problem, just pointing out a strange inconsistency in their guidelines

I see no inconsistency - nudity is not the same as swearing - nudity can be educational or artistic - swearing can be neither

The raving idiots at Ofcom have generated a broadcasting code that broadcasters have to second guess if or when they are braking it......Ofcom have the intelligence of a rotting rat.

A water shed should be just that clear and defined. It should be the resposibility of parents to ensure a transition time for their children.......But no Ofcom in their usual stupid wisdom creat a set of ifs and buts and what evers for broadcaster to trip over and some moaning half wit that complains to ofcom give the stupid gits the chance to play at being stupid gits......

Ofcom half wits have not yet caught on to the fact of life that young children behind their parents back and some times in front of them swear like bloody troopers.......

The Ofcom silly dick heads are protecting no one from anything........The corruption of the young is already truly embedded in our crazy drug taking knife weilding society.....To late to shut the stable door the horse bolted decades ago.......

First real case of some sense I've seen in this thread.

Nudity is worse for TV as it offers nothing.

Well sometimes it can be funny if used in the right context imo,but no overall I dont think it adds much either but it certainly adds more to a show and in real life than nudity does,like I wouldnt be seeing strangers naked in real life would I.
