The Ark in Space

A quick trip to the moon goes awry and the Doctor and his companions soon find themselves on a space station orbiting Earth in the distant future. At first, the station appears to be abandoned but it's not long before the time traveling trio discover that the station actually houses hundreds of people in suspended animation. The station also seems to have been sabotaged by some unknown force. As the Doctor begins to revive the station's crew and put the pieces of the mystery together, the dangerous presence lurking in the station's shadows begins to make itself known. The Ark in Space has a great tone, balancing the suspense and horror elements of the story nicely. It also makes for a great departure from Robot and the Third Doctor story style.
