** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS14E3TheDeadlyAssassin "The Deadly Assasin"]] is the one Classic story with no companion for this job and the rest of the cast are either old men or a hissing walking corpse, so an excuse is found to dress the Doctor in an unfastened see-through pirate shirt and tight skinny leggings, and [[SexySoakedShirt get him wet]], complete with him tossing back his wet hair and striking a pose. Even official programme guides comment about how dashing and sexy Creator/TomBaker looks in this one. If you prefer a more conventionally handsome look for your men, the serial also delivers Bernard Horsfall in silver lipstick and eyeshadow.

* In Australia, there was a show called ''What's Up Doc'', which basically showed a few ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' cartoons. It was hosted by Sophie Lee, who introduced the cartoons and tended to wear whatever she wanted due to the dress codes for television (It's not hard to see where that went). The catch was, however, that she wasn't wearing anything that was prohibited by any of the dress codes that existed or anything that was explicitly sexy. She was just extremely hot looking which caught a lot of parent's ire. She wasn't the only attractive woman to host that show. Current ''Getaway'' host Catriona Rowntree (who even went on to become the show's writer/producer) and former model Kate Fischer were also previous hosts of the show. The background set was loosely based on the idea that it's a ''Looney Tunes'' set, complete with a WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck shaped hole in the wall, but who cares?
