THE ARK

The Monoid Olympics, where you can step up to gold by eliminating
the opposition. 
Season: 3
Episodes: 4
Broadcast Dates: 5-26 March 1966
Producer: John Wiles
Script Editor: Gerry Davis
Writer: Paul Erickson, Leslie Scott
Director: Michael Imison
Regular Cast: William Hartnell (Dr. Who), Peter Purves (Steven), Jackie Lane (Dodo)

The Plot: The TARDIS arrive on the Ark, a generational spaceship taking the remnants of the human race to planet Refusis II ('cause our Earth is about to blow up). Trouble abounds when Dodo's cold infects the crew.
We Like: The goofy Monoids and the fact that the serial is essentially two stories using the same sets and costumes.
We Dislike: Speaking of costumes, check out what humans will be wearing in a couple of millenias. The notion of Fashion Faux Pas seems to have vanished in the haze.
Rating: 3
