I didn't notice her poses, I was too busy watching her figure. *grin*
However, I do remember the scene with her and the Doctor in the wardrobe
room.  Peri sits down while the Doctor selects his outfit.  Then they
cut to another scene.  When they return, the Doctor is in his new outfit,
and Peri is still sitting in the room.  It kind of gives the impression
that she was in the room all that time. (It might also give the impression
that American girls are more liberal than British girls.  Perhaps JNT is
using the element of sex appeal to keep the lads from outgrowing the show,
and (maybe) to attract voyeuristic dads to the show.)  As Louise Jameson said,
"if you wear a leather leotard, and you're on after the football results,
they'll be sure to notice."

A few other "cheesecake" scenes come to mind:
  -- There was a glimpse of Tegan's bra-strap (over the shoulder) in
"Warriors of the Deep".
  -- Turlough wears shorts in "Planet Of Fire". (A gesture to the
teenaged female fans.)
  -- Nyssa's role in "Terminus" and Peri's "bikini entrance" in "Planet
Of Fire".  (Two obligatory scenes.)

If trends continue, there might be a "topless Doctor" by 25th season.
Nah.  Well, maybe.  Only time will tell.

With all this talk on sexy scenes, I wonder if Jo Grant had ever been
"exploited" by the camera.  Her legs are almost impossible to miss,
especially with those miniskirts. :-)
