Sapphire & Steel encounter The Doctor
It's a *huge* reach to have them in the same universe, mind you, but if they somehow were (maybe the Doctor has slippoed into their universe) I can't see things going well.

Steel: I thought you were dead, Jack.
Captain Jack: Not really. Funny thing about that...
Sapphire: You've met him before.
Steel (unconvincingly): No.

Imagine people circa 1999 dusting off the old Project Tick-Tock gear and commenting, "This thing never worked right..."

Oops, just checked the wiki and it *wasn't* set in the future (not enough to matter). But I was right about the base. "The base for Project Tic-Toc is a huge, hidden underground complex in Arizona, 800 floors deep and employing over 36,000 people."

If you can track them down somewhere, they are worth a watch. For who is playing them, if nothing else. :-)
I first went looking for them after encountering Cecilia Eng's filk about them.
