The Ark in Space

Premise: The TARDIS materialises in the future aboard the Ark, a space station orbiting Earth. The travellers find the ‘last remaining members of mankind’ here, in suspended animation...

Notes: The script was written by Robert Holmes from a story by John Lucarotti which was then considered unusable and rewritten. It then became a four-part serial to lead into the next one, The Sontaran Experiment. Despite the original idea being his, Lucarotti never received an on screen credit for his contribution.

Verdict: A brilliant production with great sets and scary moments. Tom Baker really owns the role at this point, he has quickly become his own Doctor and has settled into the role very well in only his second story. Not even the green bubble wrap can ruin this masterpiece 10/10
