5.0 out of 5 stars The Ark In Space "Doctor Who At It's Best!", 4 Aug 2000
By Sybil Rosenthal (United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This serial was one of the first Tom Baker serials I saw and believe me I was on the edge of my seat! The Wirrn were visualized well and they really worked well.Again you have to hand it to Stuart Fell and the gang for a great job on making this unique race very realistic...As for Tom Baker one word can sum his performance up and that's simply "Classic"Of course Elisabeth Sladen and the late Ian Marter were excellent.The story and the actors make this a great serial..Also the PAL Format here in the UK has the unedited & uncut version which is not available in the USA. You will enjoy The Ark In Space.....

5.0 out of 5 stars Dr Who optima forma !, 27 Jun 2000
By Ww Leenen (Amsterdam) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A good blend of bodysnatching, claustrophobia, mystery, horrible super-insects, slimy trailed monsters and a spaceship with a mission to save mankind. No wonder that as a child, this was my most favorite (and scariest!) episode. The dialogs have a touch of humor with Harry and Sarah targetted by the arrogant Dr Who. "You're improving, Harry. But don't give yourself too much credit. It's just no wonder when you hang around with people like me."

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best Who stories ever made., 5 April 2000
By A Customer
Humans lie in kryogenic suspension on a remote ark, the only survivors of the solar flares which have devastated the Earth. However, Nerva Space Station has been infiltrated by a deadly race of space creatures, the Wirrn, who are intent to wipe out the last remaining shreds of humanity.... The Ark In Space is simply wonderful. The terror of being physically converted and turned into something else is ever present, and some of the scenes are horrific, especially when the viewer finds out that this conversion is possible via the infected hand of one of the recovered humans being revealed in one of Whos all time classic episode endings in part two. Admitedly, the bubble wrap monsters are a little too obvious, but they do not take too much away from the eerieness of this story, which is taken to a new level by the superb incidental music. Tom Baker and the regulars, especially Liz Sladen as Sarah, are excellent in the Ark's claustrophobic surroundings. A fantastic story, this is Doctor Who pushed to it's creepy best.
