There seems to be somewhat of a trend toward more "exposure" of the companions. I think, though, that this is also dependent on the specific character involved. Given the character of Peri, I am less surprised to see her in a revealing swimsuit than say, Liz, during the 7th season. However, recall that in early times there was "exposure" too; e.g. the Doctor himself is down to a bare T-shirt in the episode "Dr Who and the Silurians" (second show of the 7th season). Again this is because the Pertwee doctor was more of the fix it type who worked on Bessy (sp?), his car, and other mechanical implements in coveralls or T-shirts just as often as his regular outfit (the black cape, etc.).
