There is an episode of the New Outer Limits where some guy creates nanites to
repair the human body which is very similar to Peel's description in The

assistant: To all Time Lords and Time Ladys on Gallifrey,
I am writing to inform you that Davros has escaped his
confinment on the planet Radicus V.
The man that wants to be known as "The Doctor" has assured us
that he can do no harm for the moment, for in his last encounter
with the Daleks he sent their Emporer into a time loop, but
warned us that Davros should not be taken lightly and will
soon again be a menace to our society.
I tell you this for your safetly, do not leave Gallifrey until
we have recaptured him, if he gets hold of a
Time And Relitive Dimetion In Space unit <TARDIS>, he would no
doubt change history to his favor, and even the great
White Gaurdian could not save us from his rule !
You have been warned,

   (I have almost all the eps taped off my local pbs stations)
   So what Im really missing is things like the invasion tape with
   Nick Courtney and the Years Tapes
   What I want to know is peoples opinion on what to get and what I can

        During the first season, not only were the episodes aired
        out-of-sequence, but there were teasers (such as the father)
        which weren't continued.  In the second season the majority of
        episodes ended with unfulfulled teasers (such as nudeworld).
        Now that the 3rd season is in full swing, the trend seems to be
        toward ending the episode at the final slide... with no teaser.
