FULL MONTY recycling depot workers who stripped naked for a controversial calendar have bared their all again.
The cheeky chappies from Sita have gone down to their birthday suits for a 2005 version of the charity calendar.
And their story is being featured in a Channel Four documentary about the naked calendar phenomenon sparked by the original Calendar Girls from Rylstone WI.
A film crew has been following Jenny Purcell and Dianne Hodkinson - the two Barnoldswick women behind both calendars - as they took the shots that will feature in the Recycling Boys Calendar 2005, which is rumoured to be even more saucy than the last one.
The latest calendar was printed yesterday and will be officially launched this weekend.
Last year's calendar, which included workers from Sita depots in Barnoldswick, Burnley, Padiham and Great Harwood, caused a stir when Lancashire County Council tried to pull the plug on the charity venture.
Council bosses, branded prudes by the two fund-raisers, refused to sponsor it and put pressure on its waste contractor Sita to pull out.
Jenny and Dianne fought to get it out on sale and raised £2,700 for the Frank Street Centre for pensioners in Barnoldswick.
But the pair were left with a bad taste in their mouths after the Centre's committee members refused to publicly accept the cheque after a falling out.
For five days in July, and with the camera crew hot on their heels, they tramped across the countryside with their 12 brave models - five calendar veterans and seven new boys - to take the pictures, which are being kept under wraps until the launch.
This year the money they raise is being donated to Barnoldswick and Earby Bosom Friends, a cancer support group, with £1,000 for West Craven Warriors rugby club. There will be a limited run of just 2,500 copies, priced at £4 each.
Organiser Jennifer Purcell said: "Everything has gone well with the print run and we are hoping to raise as much as we can for charity."
The calendar will be launched at the civic hall in Barnoldswick tomorrow.
