Surely, you don't really want to know before the episode is screened over
there....it's like opening your Christmas presents before Christmas!

Wrong!

Aw,  come  on  now.  Nyssa  is  for  us  daddy's  out  here...very  sexy AND
intelligent. Never more so than in the story (i forget it's title) at the
end of which she elects to stay behind and leave the Dr. (the one where
lepers are sent to some planet or other to be `cured' but in reality are
killed.)  In  every  episode  of  that  story  she lost more and more of her
clothing. But all `in the best possible taste'.

Teegan, I admit, was a pain (to me) as was Adrick but someone must have
liked them...
