** ''The Rainbow'' pushed the trope to its natural limit by having him frolick naked through the woods.
** ''Film/WithnailAndI'' could easily just have been called "Paul [=McGann=] Is Almost Naked A Lot".
** He spends his first ten minutes as the Eighth Doctor wearing nothing but a sheet.
** Lampshaded a bit in a BigFinish episode where, despite it being a sound-only medium, he ''still'' manages to lose his shirt. Twice.
** ''Series/HoratioHornblower'': He's not the only one Mr Fanservice is this series, but his Mr Bush tends to get wet a lot and has some glorious {{Shirtless Scene}}s.
