DVD Reviews of Doctor Who: The Ark In Space (Story 76)
DVD Review: Love Doctor Who - Tom Baker
Summary: 5 Stars
As always - I love this campy show. And Tom Baker is my favorite doctor. I am so glad they are available on DVD now, I have some ratty old videotapes that I have been watching for (I don't want to say how many) years, and they barely play anymore.DVD Review: One of the best Tom Baker stories!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had this one since I was a little boy when my dad recorded it off TV for me. It was on TV in a movie-format form, so I don't really get any cliffhangers. But I have seen it on television since then in its original four-part format, and I can tell you that all of the cliffhangers were great. This one was a scary one, but then again I loved being scared when I was a kid. Now years later, it's still kind of creepy to me. This one is kind of like an earlier and less scary version of "Alien".
The Doctor and his companions land on a seemingly deserted space station far in the future, and later learn that it is an ark in space carrying the last survivors of the human race after fleeing Earth when it was ravaged by solar flares. But something is seriously wrong. The station has been sabotaged, and some kind of alien life form is aboard, breeding fast, preparing to harvest the humans and conquer the newly rejuvenated Earth. Interested yet? And the great Tom Baker is his usual self when he asks if anyone would like a jelly baby when they're all in grave danger. It's just great. Highly recommended!
DVD Review: great!
Summary: 5 Stars
Hilarious- dopey monsters, crazy story line, all delivered in
in true deadpan serious Dr. Who style. Tom at his goggle-eyed best.
DVD Review: Must Have for Tom Baker Dr Who fans
Summary: 5 Stars
Dr Who in all of his glory. Tom Baker was the best and these videos capture it in all of its granduer.DVD Review: Essential Doctor Who
Summary: 5 Stars
This was the first Doctor Who series I watched as a young boy, and I love it now as much as I loved it then. The DVD contains some great extras including a directors/actors comment track and some updated graphics. Look out for the evil bubble wrap!
Description of Doctor Who: The Ark In Space (Story 76)
The Doctor, Harry and Sarah accidentally land on a space wheel where survivors from Earth lie in cryogenic suspension waiting to begin a new life.DVD Features:
Audio Commentary:by actors Tom Baker and Elisabeth Sladen and producer Philip Hinchcliffe
Biographies
Interviews:with designer Robert Murray-Leach. Archival interview with Tom Baker
Other:New CGI model footage and 3D Ark schematic
Production Notes:Optional caption stream
Tom Baker's second outing as the renegade Time Lord is a solid entry in the venerable British science fiction series' history, and its overall quality is well-matched by the wealth of supplemental material on the DVD. Fan favorite Robert Holmes penned "The Ark in Space," which places the Doctor and his companions Sarah (Elisabeth Sladen) and Harry (Ian Marter) on a seemingly deserted space station many years in the future. Station Nerva is not as empty as it appears, though; onboard are the cryogenically preserved survivors of Earth's destruction, as well as an insectlike alien race, the Wirrin, which are determined to use the humans--and the Doctor--as hosts to grow their monstrous larvae. Holmes's well-paced script (which, like Alien, bears a resemblance to the A.E. van Vogt story "Black Destroyer") allows Baker to flesh out his well-loved take on the Doctor, as well as considerable suspense. --Paul Gaita
