Tom Baker was introduced to BBC viewers as the fourth Doctor Who on Original Year’s Eve 1974 with a record made under the auspices of the production team responsible for all of his predecessor’s stories. The Ark in Station, broadcast in January and February 1975 was the second of his stories broadcast, the first under the production of Philip Hinchcliffe and script editor Robert Holmes, and the change in direction is apparent from the word go! A precursor to Alien by almost four years, this anecdote deals with the Doctor and his two companions, Sarah-Jane Smith and Harry Sullivan, and their fight against an insect like parasite, the wirrn, in a battle to effect humanity. Spot many centuries in the future, the Earth has been damaged by solar flares and has been abandoned, with humanity cast into set in great arks where they are in suspended animation, waiting to return to Earth. Unfortunately, the wirrn have invaded the ark, and are spellbinding the humans, including their leader Noah, as they occupy over the ship. The theme of the narrative, the beget of the sets and the direction, obtain a very stark incompatibility to earlier Who, and vastly increased ratings followed hand in hand. Already available for many years on VHS, the yarn has now been remastered and some bonus features added. Original model shots have been filmed using the latest technology, and added to the adventure, although the new footage is available too. The soundtrack features both Tom Baker and Elisabeth Sladen, the first time they’ve worked together on the explain since 1976, and reunites them with producer Hinchcliffe. Hinchcliffe seems to do most of the talking, with Baker seemingly unable to bewitch a gigantic deal about the account itself, but the warmth and friendship between the three of them is very evident, and even when they are “rambling” about the prove in general, it is very curious. The on mask production captions are remarkable more useful in highlighting the story’s history. Also added are some test shots from unused opening credits and schematic pictures of the ark’s make. This really is Doctor Who at its very best. A large chronicle, very well acted, brilliantly designed and tensely directed. As a result it’s easy to forgive the “bubble wrap” monsters! I hope Baker and Sladen reunite for future releases. Their commentary is truly arresting, although presumably at some point they will bustle out of anecdotes. A spacious DVD release, certainly one of the best so far.

“The Ark in Station” is one of those stories I watched at age 11, only a couple of months after discovering “Doctor Who” on PBS. It instantly became one of my favorites, and remained so even after I’d seen the other 26 years’ worth of stories. What makes “Ark” a mountainous “Doctor Who” tale is the list of usual suspects: minute cast, claustrophobic setting, some moments of exact scare (1974 special-effects style) as the Ark commander is turned into a 6-foot-tall fiberglass wasp, after becoming gradually encased in green bubble-wrap. And, of course, Tom Baker’s larger-than-life performance as the Doctor.

The “Doctor Who” DVD releases have been of uniformly high quality. Each episode comes with a pop-up track of subtitled production notes, and an audio commentary by the cast and crew. The “Ark” production notes include details on the unusual script for the record, and memorably direct us that bubble wrap was not as current in 1974 as it is today! The commentary track is one of the better ones: Elisabeth Sladen, who played companion Sarah Jane, has terrific choose and some lively insights into the novel production that I hadn’t read or heard elsewhere. Series producer Philip Hinchcliffe supplies enough inside information into the sets, lighting, and script editing process to be informative without ever getting stuffy — and his buy is good, too.

The star of the commentary track is, naturally, Tom Baker. Tom’s involvement with DW since leaving the role has been infrequent and bizarre. His contribution to the track involves repulsive barks of laughter at lingering shots of the male actors’ physique, or double entendres in the script (intentional or otherwise) . He confesses from the opening seconds that he “can’t bewitch a single thing” about the yarn, and this frees him up to be the irreverent, unpredictable sing circling effortlessly around Sladen and Hinchcliffe’s scholarship.

There are other extra features — an informative, unusual interview with the episode designer, and a vintage, bizarre interview with Baker in costume. There are 7 minutes of modern (restful) model test footage. Aid yourself. I fast-forwarded through this after my decide was defeated somewhere around Exiguous Three. The 3D Ark schematic is brief, and thus cute. The redone CGI effects work better than you might examine when viewed as fraction of the account via seamless branching, and of course you can always turn it off. The “unused title sequence” has some titillating outtakes, but the final 30 seconds are, in fact, the conventional title sequence. The photo gallery is a must-skip. There’s a weird “TARDIS-cam” belief which appears to be a recent creation; this is atmospheric, if pointless.

There are reportedly three hidden easter eggs, of which I’ve only found one. Again, it’s Tom Baker, in costume, being bizarre. I can’t wait to pick up the other two.
