History Series / PoliceWoman

** Though Pepper always wears a bra in her official role as a police sergeant, she often goes braless when on undercover missions and when off duty.
** At the start of "The Melting Point of Ice", Pepper is [[DirtyHarriet impersonating a street walker]], wearing a skintight jumpsuit with open sides that makes it quite obvious that she's not wearing any undergarments. When called to investigate a murder scene, she has no time to change, but wears the same clothes while interviewing an elderly robbery victim whose colleague was killed by the robbers. He doesn’t even seem to notice what she’s wearing.

* SweaterGirl: Pepper fairly often wears this look with tight sweaters, sometimes with and sometimes without a bra underneath.

* ShamefulStrip: In the episode "Warning All Wives", a serial killer forces housewives to strip to music, and then rapes and murders them.

* LingerieScene: In the episode "Requiem for a Bored Wife" we see Pepper coming home from work, taking off her skirt and then her sweater while going upstairs, and walking around for a while in just a rather skimpy full slip. She then goes off-screen and returns in a bathrobe.

** Though Pepper always wears a bra in her official role as a police sergeant, she goes braless in her spare time and on undercover missions.

** Often the wire is in her handbag (due to clunky 1970's technology that won't fit under her tight and skimpy clothes). This sometimes leads to trouble when she has to open her purse and the bad guys catch a glimpse of the transmitter.

* LingerieScene: The episode "Requiem for a Bored Wife" starts with a gratuitous example: we see Pepper coming home from work, taking off her skirt and then her sweater while going upstairs, and walking around for a while in just a rather skimpy full slip. She then goes off-screen and returns in a bathrobe.

* ClothingDamage: In the episode "Operation Sidewinder", a suspect becomes suspicious of Pepper (who is impersonating a call girl to extract information from him). Pepper's attempts to get away from him results in a struggle which culminates in her blouse getting ripped completely open, exposing the microphone taped to her chest, as well as her lacy bra.

* MsFanservice: Pepper. Angie Dickinson was in her forties when the show was shot, but still a major sex symbol, and the show constantly emphasizes her good looks as well as her body. While she dresses in a professionally modest way when doing official police work, the producers frequently put her in situations (such as undercover missions, or just enjoying the sun in her spare time) where she wears more revealing clothes (see the FanService entry for examples). This is expecially true for the first part of the first season; later on, the fanservice is somewhat toned down in that Pepper wears less revealing clothing.

** Though Pepper always wears a bra in her official role as a police sergeant, she quite often goes visibly braless in her spare time and on undercover missions.

** Before Series/CharliesAngels, Pepper Anderson was fighting dangerous criminals with a gun in her hand, or going on even more dangerous undercover missions.
