Ark In Space: Part Three.

In the wake of the unprecedented pop culture phenomenon that was STAR WARS, everybody wanted to jump onto the Sci-Fi bandwagon. Even American PBS television stations. So they reached across the pond to import the British Broadcasting Company's iconic series, DOCTOR WHO. It was weird, low-budget, sometimes brilliant, different from anything else in the genre, and the perfect show for Americans who found STAR TREK insufficiently nerdy!

Most of us were introduced to the Doctor with "Robot", the first serial featuring the fourth incarnation of the eccentric, time-traveling alien. But "Ark In Space", his second serial, really established Tom Baker's portrayal as THE Doctor. Here we see a major infusion of horror into the show, and a widening of setting, finally leaving behind the Third Doctor's mostly Earth-bound era for good.

So return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear, when Doctor Who was fun and smart. Before the BBC was overrun by feminists and cucks who cut the balls off the great character and replaced him with Space Hillary.
