STORY:

The Doctor visits the Tranquil Repose on Necros, suspicious at the death of a friend. The Tranquil Repose was set up so that dying millionaires could have their body kept in suspended animation until such time as a medical cure could be found.

But there is more going on than it seems. The worst cases are turned by Davros, who is posing as the Great Healer, into a new breed of Daleks. Others are turned into protein by a factory, also set-up by Davros but run by Kara, to be sold on neighbouring planets.

Kara hires a bounty hunter, Orcini, to kill Davros. He fails, and turns on Kara when she betrays him. When one of the embalmers call the real Daleks, they arrive and take Davros away from trial on Skaro. With the factory left in ruins the Doctor shows the locals how to extract proteins from the native plant life.

BLOOPERS:

Episode 2: In the very first scene - who is that guy walking past in the background?

Episode 2: When the DJ fires his ultrasonic gun the first time (to show Peri), he shatters the doors to his studio. Later, when the Daleks advance into the studio, the miraculously repaired doors open as they approach.

Episodep 2: When those two chaps show a Dalek their security passes, you can see the head of the Dalek operator through the "neck grille".
