Enterprise- T’pol spends more time in the decontamination shower than anyone else and is the the only crew member who wears a skin tight outfit

Outpost on Syfy. Not much left to the imagination of any female characters outfit

There’s lots more I could mention. Do TV companies really think that they can only attract male viewers in this way?

The enterprise one I remember at the time and it was absolutely gratuitous. The actor had an automatic response to cold water being poured over her. However what should not be forgotten is that the actor who was with her equally had an automatic response to her automatic response. I will leave it at that other than to say it was probably just a single take of that particular scene.

Well, everyone knows that sci-fi is mainly watched by teenage boys and the minds of teenage boys are mostly focused on one thing.

Will forward that to my DH - he has grounded DD aged 11 now until she is 35! The full on Burka will probably be arriving soon for her to wear on leaving the house!

Loved this. I’ve threatened to play Rodney Atkins ‘Cleaning this gun’ when she brings a boy home

Still searching for the L-shaped sheets they have on all the beds on TV.

Mens side only seems to come up to the waist whereas the woman's side up to the armpit.

Can’t be having with all that gratuitous sexual malarkey..
I am far too busy watching the video of Toyah singing ‘enter the sandman’ whist on a step machine, with her husband , Robert Fripp accompanying on guitar for the 500th time. (Worth finding).
Pure musical brilliance.. a talented pair.

I've just seen this reported on the news app. The report seemed to be saying lots of people were watching and praising her on how much she could move around for someone in her 60s. Based on the photos they included, I don't think that's the main reason people were watching these videos. I can think of two other reasons.
