It seems like Christmas gets earlier every year, but amidst all the flashing lights and stupid TV adverts, there is one saving grace it means that it's one less day until we get our hands on the gorgeous, lovely and incredibly sexy Page 3 calendar!

We'll be unveiling the brilliant 2009 version very soon, but in order to whet your appetite, we thought we'd take a look back at the previous years efforts and find our favourite images.

Our first round-up features some of our favourite Seventies stunners including Vanya, Vee Brooks, Joanne Latham and Nina Carter.

So what are you waiting for, take a peek now!
