The first Colin Baker episode was just aired on our Chicago PBS station. Did anyone else notice several occasions where the new American Dr. Who partner, Perrie, was provocatively posed? Also in a scene very near the end of the episode, there were some tight shots of her cleavage as she bent over. I am not criticizing or applauding this, but was wondering if anyone else has heard about the apparent change in BBC philosophy regarding the series and such camera shots with the new Dr. and partner. P.S. Does anyone else think the new Dr. looks like a sleezy lounge singer?

I don't know about looking like a sleazy lounge singer, but Colin Baker looks like he's going to be a much more sarcastic Doctor. Example: As Peri is kneeling over him, he regenerated, and sat up. Peri stammers, "I, I, I..." The Doctor says something to the effect of, "You must have a very big ego to say 'I' so often!" Bob Schleicher ihuxk!rs55611

We here in the San Francsico Bay Area haven't seen Caves of Androzani yet (we'll see it on the 26th), so we haven't seen the shot that started this all. Yet I can't help wondering why people haven't written about Romana II in The Creature from the Pit, or Nyssa in Terminus. Both of those stories had cleavage and certain shots in Terminus were, uh, unlike those normally seen in Doctor Who. Jeff Okamoto okamoto%ucbvax@Berkeley.ARPA ..!ucbvax!okamoto

["Doctor!" "You were expecting someone else?"] > Did anyone else notice several occasions where the new American Dr. Who > partner, Perrie, was provocatively posed? 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. :-) -- "Is there liver in reality?"

In episode 2 of Spearhead from Space Jon Pertwee is seen topless and presumeably (sp?) bottomless in the shower of the hospital. Katy Manning posed for nude pictures with a Dalek for an Australian mens magazine. (why a Dalek is what I want to know!) Concerning Peri (the CORRECT spelling) watching the Doctor disrobe and select a new costume, it appears that all (or at least most) of the jnt episodes feature the Doctors wearing the white shirt with red question marks on the collar. As seen in the Castrovalva episodes the shirt reaches to the floor. Assuming that Colin Baker is wearing the same shirt Peri would not have seen anything. Having just seen the last episode of DOCTOR WHO AND THE SILURIANS I was 'shocked' to see the Doctor in shirt sleeves and I could have sworn that I saw a tatoo, but my friends advise me to get a new tv. Has there been another episode where the Doctor is also wearing a short sleeve shirt and was I seeing things in that episode. Mike Davis and Bob Buchanan ni

Yes, that *was* a tattoo you saw in Dr Who and the Silurians, which
also appears in the first Pertwee episode (with the famous shower
scene!). Apparently, Jon Pertwee got the tattoo when he was in the
Royal Navy during WWII, as a "birthday present".

Your television is working fine; a tattoo is indeed visible in "Doctor Who and the Silurians". I haven't seen short sleeves in any other Pertwee episodes, but the tattoo can be seen in the shower scene (talk about exposure!) in "Spearhead from Space". I recall being told that the tattoo is genuine, but I don't have the source available at the moment. N. L. Tinkham duke!nlt
