Synopsis


Many thousands of years in the future, Earth becomes uninhabitable. Aboard space station Nerva, the remaining survivors of the human race drift amongst the stars in suspended animation.

The Doctor, Sarah and Harry arrive to find vital systems have been sabotaged. As mankind begins to awake from its enforced deep sleep, the Doctor discovers that they are not alone ...

The Wirm are an insect race that inhabit the cold depths of space. Nut they too have found the Ark and its sleeping occupants. Can the Doctor prevent the last of the human race from becoming the Wirm's new source of food ... ?

Background


After five years of mainly Earth-bound stories featuring Jon Pertwee's Time Lord, the new producer of Doctor Who, Philip Hincliffe, decided it was time for the series to travel further afield once more. The Ark in Space launches the Fourth Doctor into space and time for a clautrophjic. tautly-paced adventure that had children scurrying behind the sofa, and Mary Whitehouse reaching for the phone! Tightly scripted by Robert Holmes and boasting a faultless central performance by Tom Baker, this story also features first-class support from the rest of the cast and has long been regarded as a true Doctor Who classic.
