Wow, okay, points to you, sir. From page 7:

Zoe, however, was far more enthusiastic. As a highly intelligent young scientist from the twenty-first century she was fascinated by anything and everything; space and time travel was an endless adventure in an alien environment, and it appealed to her scientific mind. The Doctor found her quick, analytic intelligence very useful on occasion – with her permanent expression of wide-eyed curiosity, she had about her the air of an Alice in Wonderland, dressed in a seamless, one-piece jump-suit of glittering silver, but she was a brilliant mathematician, capable of dealing with any abstract formulae faster than the most advanced computer.

She was catsuit all the way in the serial. But there are the words "Alice in Wonderland, dressed" all neatly in a row. You could well have had a latent childhood memory of that — but you crucially omitted the comma. See why we have T:COMMA, people? Makes all the difference in the world.
