I'm not British, nor familiar with British law, but what comes to mind for me, immediately is the 
British film, Kes, made in 1969, and starring David Bradley (not the same David Bradley who 
appears in the Harry Potter films as Filch) as Billy Casper. It's one of my favourite films.

It's noted for its very gritty, realistic style. At the time it was made David Bradley was only 
about 14 years old and there's quite an extensive scene in the film in which he is quite 
graphically nude.

The film is available on DVD with that scene intact - it doesn't seem to cause any significant 
problems in the UK.
