Doctor Who - The Ark In Space Reviews
The Ark In Space
The Ark in Space is one of the finest episodes of Doctor Who and Tom Baker was the BEST Doctor Who.
A forerunner to Alien
The Ark in Space begins with the TARDIS materializing aboard Nerva, a space station built during the 30th century. The Doctor (Tom Baker), along with his companions Sarah Jane Smith and Harry Sullivan (Ian Marter) find the last survivors of the human race resting in suspended animation. The earth has been devastated by solar flares, and the surviving humans have gone into stasis until the planet is safe and habitable once again. The story becomes a predecessor to Alien, as the Wirrn emerge. The Wirrn are an insect-like collective, threatening to devour and destroy the human survivors. The Ark in Space is classic Doctor Who, and very good science fiction to boot, written by the late Robert Holmes who was the most prolific and, perhaps, the greatest writer in DW history. This DVD has some great bonus features, including an interesting commentary track with Tom Baker, Elisabeth Sladen and Philip Hinchcliffe, who was the show's producer during Baker's first three seasons as the Doctor. Another great feature allows the viewer to watch the program with the original effects with models dangling on strings against a space backdrop, or with new CGI effects. The Ark in Space is one of my favorite stories from my favorite era of the Doctor Who classic series.
