Tom Baker is and always will be the greatest incarnation of the Doctor. The man is a national treasure.
Baker was the Doctor, no doubt. My top 3 favorite Baker episodes of all time - 3. The Brain of Morbius 2. The Deadly Assassin 1. The Talons of Weng Chiang. What do those episodes have in common? All the villains were time travelers.
Jon P was awesome as well. Great Dr…
Deff
I agree. He was my favorite . “Would you like a jelly belly?”
He is my hero!
One thing I love about older film/tv is that it isn’t drowned in background music. Really let’s you enjoy it.
This made a huge impression on me, aged 6 in early 1975. The new TARDIS team were a joy to watch, their interaction combined with a strong story and eerie incidental music created a vivid experience which I still remember fondly to this day. Mid 70's Doctor Who at its very best.
I used to meet Tom Baker in the pub at lenham every other Saturday after my football match and each drink made him louder lovely man
Me too.
This was the show was entertaining its 'appointment TV phase', much like it did with Tennant and Tate.
Too young to realise but it was everywhere.
The Wheetabix promotions, Trump Cards, Action Figures (slightly later with Leela), playing at being Daleks with friends....
Fantastic memories
I totally agree with you son 👏
@@jimweightman7232 u lucky
@@jimweightman7232 that's really cool
Tom Baker was definitely the most eccentric of all the Doctors incarnations and it took great talent to pull of an excellent role !
He could deliver a throw-away line like nobody else...
He said all he did was play himself.
@@minicle426 wish i couldve met him and when hes called to that great Panopticon in the sky i will be saddened
in my youth i emulated this doctor to help me be more outgoing in mixed company
Considering they had no money, the sets and costumes in this show were amazing.
Well, very little money.
Yes each week they put out four or five episodes sometimes on locations at the many old mansions and castles and the henges giving the show the ability to change from a victorian horror like Fang Rock, space opera like the Ark or the old quarries they loved to use that looked like an odd alien world. They were able to work wonders with the little they had, occasionally taking a trip to the sea or across the channel to Spain so many choices. The great theatre world allowed them to borrow so many period costumes or mix and match to make alien clothes gave the show a wonderful feel like nothing else before or since
Incredible
Yup,multimeter walkiie Talkies
@@r.g.o3879 it was the golden years of television
"I have no memory of the Earth"
Such a chilling line to me
...but leave the sleepers to usssssss
I also love it when he puts his hat up in the air as a decoy.
John Pertwee and Tom Baker are the best, good simple story lines to follow.
Of course it seems simple because it....isn't.
Add Troughton.
Absolutely awesome episode so much nostalgia as well as enjoyment rewatching.
This was genuinely the first time I witnessed both the joy and the terror of bubble-wrap! 😱🐙🇬🇧
hahaHaHAHAHAHAHahaha
My only quip with this episode is that it deviates from the original briefing in early 1963 when the programme was devised with the directive from Sydney Newman to avoid the inclusion of bug eyed monsters and ray guns. Coincidentally the Monoids from the season three episode The Ark also fall short in this department and for that reason it is my least favourite William Hartnell episode.
@@RangaTurk what’s wrong with Bug eyed monsters and Ray guns?
@@tepidtooth8539 Nothing really it was as good as it could get with regards to special effects at that time. After all it is public service produced sci-fi not Hollywood. The plot, the cast, the set and the length of The Ark In Space at four episodes is great.
I hope I never encounter a larval Wirrn. I'd get myself killed because I wouldn't be able to resist the urge to pop its bubble-wrap skin.
I would love if you guys could upload more full episodes of the show
Steven Moffat's favourite story, and one of Capaldi's favourites too
I love the wirrn, such an underused monster. They seem to always come back in expanded media but never in the tv series.
Bubble wrap is not good for the environment, credibility or the all important aaggghhh factor!
@@stephenpriest2766 I would also love the rutans to come back
@@stephenpriest2766 bulbous zygons LOOL
Tom Baker will always be the definitive Doctor for me. That isn't to say some of the others haven't been good, even great, just that Tom Baker was the best for me. Long live Dr. Who! We never know when we'll need him to defend us from a bubble-wrap monster!
So, bias then? :P
This Is a Fantastic Highlights for The Ark In Space, One of my All time Favorite Doctor Who story.
Mine too!
This is fascinating
Such great childhood memories. This was my first Dr Who episode. I used to watch it on PBS here in the states. Continued success Mr Baker. May the good Lord look after you and those you love thru these dark times were all living.
the good "lord" is as much fiction as is dr who ...
@@jyvben1520 lets see if your so brave on your death bed...cuz when your at the moment of death there are no atheists.
@@TypicalBricks174 but not a lie, Evolution is True, religion is fake
@@TypicalBricks174 correct, religion is horrible ...
Great shows on pbs 70 - 90s
Don’t under estimate the usefulness of green tinted bubble wrap.
One of my favorites. Love Tom..Harry & Sarah Jane. May they Rest in Heaven.
Tom's not shuffled off this mortal coil yet!
@@perrythomas4115 I know that and Thank God. 😊
You can almost picture Ridley Scott in 1975, taking notes.
'We cant call the first guy to start all this off Noah, it will be too obvious...'
'Ok well how about Kane? That's biblical too and all about death?'
'Perfect!'
Another later episode had egg things that hatch tendril like things that crawl up a person almost like a hand and then transform them too, both episodes have been drawn from heavily by Scott. I particularly like the parallels with the escape pod and also the moment the Dr Hides inside a human shaped cryo chamber, just like Ripley does in a rack of space suits.
"Second rate David Maloney!"
True, but Scott took as much of the idea for Alien, if not more so from HP Lovecraft
@@satan3959 ...and Planet of the Vampires.
@Cookieface Ridley Scott's films are all rubbish though .
I remember when Tom Baker took over from Jon Pertwee thinking it was the end of the series luckily I was wrong and I still believe that Tom Baker was probably the best Dr Who ever.
Agreed. Though I still say that the Black & Whites have the best cinematic feel, sound & atmosphere. The effects here are FAR too over-exposed as is the lighting. Tom was great with a stupendous team. Phillip Hinchcliff & Bob Holmes.. I mean.. how can you mess that up?
Hartnell, Troughton and Pertwee were just as good.
Troughton especially had the most difficult job to do in making the regeneration aspect work.
@@calderarecords the series has declined so much in recent years from what ive heard the stench of our present-day and its goopy polititical correctness has crept in i stopped watching after peter davison
The best Doctor is the one from when you were 14.
I still remember watching this episode on the the who on horror segments on horror channel, what a blast
This was my first Dr Who episode. Still my favorite. Thanks for posting this.
Harry and Sarah Jane the best companions for Tom Baker and the stories always great. Romana was another.
Jamie,the dirk carrying scot.
Leela forced to wear uncomfortable Victorian dress(Talons of Weing Chang)armed with a janus thorn.
The(albeit annoying)Ace beating up a dalek with a baseball bat.
K9(I and II)
I am sorry but those two are very poor assistants.Sarah Jane only becomes a useful character after she is dumped,even couldnt take proper care of her K9.
@@boogieknee3781 Agreed. The writers admitted they straight up wasted Harry.
Tom Baker was my first Doctor. I adore him still. When Doctor Who returned to television, I exitedly sat down my daughters and explained who he was. It made my heart leap when they pointed at the tv screen and squealed, "Hey! It's bigger on the inside!!!" Golden memory!
Love how old and battered the Tardis looks! Much more credible than a shiny new 1 that now accompanies the doctor's regeneration- and the
control room looks better too
Any control room looks better than the one we got now
I disagree. I think each Tardis looks good
@@sodorflubbs5000 To each their own I just hate the quartz looking crystals
Yes, Tom Baker and whomever was writing the scripts at this time for the Time Doctor were a wonderful team. Formative for my childhood. Thank you Tom Baker and the intelligent and interesting people in the background.
Philip Hinchcliff producer, Robert Holmes script editor and writer of this episode.
@@sabrinatirabassi3529 Thanks!
I’ve seen every Doctor Who episode 2x. I feel very strongly that there was no greater run in the show’s history than The Ark in Space thru Talons of Weng-Chiang.
So from the run you've mentioned, the ones I definitely know are this one, Genesis of the Daleks, Terror of the Zygons, Pyramids of Mars, The Brain of Morbius, The Robots of Death and Talons of Wend-Chiang. Are there others you especially recommend? I may have seen a couple of the other ones without recalling them by name.
@@jimnewcombe7584 IMHO, would rank them:
1) Talons of Weng-Chiang
2) Genesis of Daleks
3) Pyramids of Mars
4) Robots of Death
5) The Ark in Space
6) Revenge of the Cyberman
7) The Deadly Assassin
8) The Hand of Fear
9) The Brain of Morbius
10) The Sontaran Experiment
@@jimnewcombe7584 I'd seen countless repeats of the show on Australian TV before a 1989 repeat of all the complete adventures. I always knew Tom Baker's first few series were my fave episodes but I had forgotten Planet of Evil and when I saw it again found it really well done. Probably the weakest for me was The Android Invasion which seemed like a repeat of Zygons but it did have some cool atmospheric moments and the cliff-hanger with the android Sarah-Jane was fab.
It's an excellent point you make. That 1975-'77 era was incredibly strong and includes my all-time favourite Who story, The Pyramids of Mars. So many all-time classics in those couple of years and the fact your list excludes Terror of the Zygons and The Masque of Mandragora, both excellent stories, shows just how good this Tom Baker period was. I actually have a huge soft spot for The Android Invasion from '75 but it gets totally overshadowed by the widely-acclaimed stories during that season. One suggestion - I'd include Horror of Fang Rock at the end of your timeline, even though it was the first story in the much weaker season 15 (1977-78) as (for me anyway) it's the same high quality as what came before it.
@@jimnewcombe7584 seen em ad infinitum🤪
Great quality on the remaster, here! Very clear and sharp!
This was the Dr. I first discovered, and will always be my favorite to play him.
Yes , me too
My first was Pertwee, then Troughton.
Those two are my favourites.
this was and still is my favorite Dr Who and DR Who Series.
I like how the actor who plays Harry, very purposely, but slyly ensures her skirt is covering her properly as they place her down on the bed.
I saw that too! Very thoughtful actor.
This was the episode that got Doctor Who banned from my house after it gave me nightmares! It lasted about a month before my pleadings wore my mom down and I was allowed to watch it again.
I still have a vague unease around green bubble wrap
@@NeoGee The good acting makes even green bubble wrap seem to be real a threat.
This and the spiders were watched from behind the couch trembling
Sarah squeezing through that tight crawlspace gave me nightmares, too.
@@unfundedopportunities7278 I seem to recall that she often found herself in a tight crawlspace or other claustrophobic space.
IF ONLY we had tv repeats of these great shows
Had a few Dr Who stories on forces TV recently. They showed Tom Baker, Sarah and Harry in 'Genesis of the Daleks'.
RIP Forces TV.
Budget for this episode? Three shillings and sixpence and you’d be glad to take it in them days.
The prop team did really well with a lot of this!
It reallly doesnt look like something made in 1974. TH-cam kind of eats up the video quality but those old tube cameras still look fantastic.
This episode was my introduction to Doctor Who, over forty years ago. Fell in love with the show. Been watching it ever since.
The Doctor's monologue at 7:06 is, in my view, one of the best I've heard and inspiring to say the least. In fact, it is also true - human culture has steadily overcome incredible obstacles that would decimate or regress any other species on the planet. Our intelligence coupled with our wisdom (which should not be discounted) has indeed pushed us to where we are now. It is sometimes hard to see it, and perhaps you need a writer to imagine they are a traveller from a different time and place, but we are living in the best time ever in history. Now, we must keep going - we must keep improving our culture, systems, and wisdom. If we stop we shall surely all perish here. The Doctor was right, Homo Sapiens are truly special.
u mean White Western Human culture
@@goyim6866no lol xxxx
@@goyim6866 No, not at all. I mean the aggregate of all human culture. You imply disparity where none exists - all cultures collaborate and often merge together, especially today, and it is always better to to cooperate than to divide. If you were an alien looking at Earth from space, you would conclude actually that there weren't different cultures at all, just one big mix of 'human' culture.
Harry's a smart fella he's improving
He is enjoying helping the doctor
The Wirrn was always so awesome looking in my opinion!! Love this episode!!!
The doctor mentions the "ready made food supply" which is fascinating. Also, the script and sets are fantastic!!! Very much will outlast all of the Saxons.
20:47 You gotta hate that deadly green bubble wrap!
I remember seeing these episodes in 1980s, as a 6 or 7 year old. I can remember those green slime monsters sending me hiding behind the lounge - I was frightened out of my wits. Awesome lifelong trauma right there.
Love Classic DR WHO
I really wish they kept Harry Sullivan on for the rest of the season!! He was really good with the Doctor and Sarah Jane!!!
They kept brandy in the Tardiis!
Awesome!!!
The first Doctor had kept some for medicinal purposes, or so it's made out from subsequent incarnations.
@@gorillaau 👍
Lol. Then TARDIS is Time And Relative Distillers In Space. Distill their own.
brandy on hand-so Victorian! the 2020s blow and im stuck here BOOOO
Ain’t nuthin’ but a party in the tardis.
Way ahead of its time...showing the way for The Fly and Alien
My favourite 4th Doctor story
I really miss this old series .
Low budget effects and equipment .
Barely got it on the old KQED channel out of San Francisco area down to San Luis Obispo county back in the 70's ( BC ) before cable .
Famous line of Tom's ........
" Care for a Jelly Baby ? ? ? "
Whenever I had some loose change I'd stop by the local candy store and get a bag of the Famous Jelly Belly's .
I literally just watched this adventure last week on Pluto TV!
How come Pluto has TV when its not even a planet? You should tell the astronomers that Pluto is a planet and supports intelligent life.
@@jonathanfraser321 lol maybe Sailor pluto is sponsoring it.
@@neptune04 Probably be scrambling for money, after doing that terrible Crystal/Eternal cashgrab. :P
5:32 *apply cold water to the burned area*
Yes we used basically bubble wrap and green spray paint. Good call. 👍
This is very much a classic episode. I am willing to bet that this particular doctor was the most pioneering of them all.
"Your first Doctor is your favorite" seems to be the mantra of the show. Mine was Tom Baker on PBS in the '70s. I still keep a small white paper bag of jelly babies at all times... ;-P
Just offer them some Jelly Babies, Doktor!
🤣👍
My favorite story. The survival horror elements made it more intriguing.
"Oh doctor! Is all you can say for yourself? You stupid foolish girl. We shouldn't have relied on you" ..great line 😂😂😂😂
one of my favorite serials. i've always been obsessed with humans becoming monsters.
I'd forgotten how much this episode affected me as a 10yo.
I love this story. I've recently watched the blu ray a few days ago.
It's also extremely well-paced
@@squishmallowfan025 Its too bad that pacing is lost in this highlights video. The pacing really makes it a better story.
one of my favourites
It is definitely a top episode.
Isnt this the Douglas Adams episode? The SFX were bubble wrap and its still better than any modern episode.
Modern Doctor Who fundamentally suffers from weak plots and uninteresting villains.
It is not really science fiction.
The scifi ideas are not interesting.
It is more of an overacted melodrama.
@@jamesline5103 100%
Yes I love him too. He was the best Dr Who
I remember finding this when it used to be on Netflix and absolutely LOVING it
*"Nobody Loves Tom Baker As The Doctor More Than Me!"*
I beg to differ.
Hold my sonic screwdriver!
“Well that’s very sweet of you, Dan; but you see, I don’t want to be loved... I want to be ADORED!”
(Tom Baker)
accept me,friend
Tom Baker was the best incarnation of the Doctor.
I like how the Wirrn use green-tinted bubblewrap
So much thought inducing dialogue.
A great episode. Thought I'd browsed this area long ago. Subscribed now and ordering more Blueray collections soon.
Harry the gentleman.
I love the green bubble wrap
As well , it's pure excellence
💪😎💙
Thank you!
On the one side I think these should be remade with the special effects budget and sets they deserve. On the other hand they were acted so well by so many they should remain classics.
contemporary remakes would be corrupted by our modern age bs - inclusion and representing and overcompensating dribble
leave dr who pristine
This was the very first episode of Doctor Who I saw!
harry's sideburns were magnificent!!!!!!
Amazing that this came out 4 years before Alien
Watching these episodes as a child I'd miss the end of the series because of bed time 😭 If it was the last day of the run and the episode didn't fall on a Friday I'd miss the ending so I'm overjoyed to see these posts Thank you
Just watched this story this morning
Hiding behind the couch, terrified out of my mind, yet, refusing to stop watching...😂😂
Excellent times and what happy memories. Thank you Tom Baker, the greatest ever Dr Who❤
Good old fashioned green bubble wrap!
They should remake The Ark In Space; we've come a long way since 1975!
“Yeah and Disney should totally remake their classic animations” said no one ever
They did. It was called Alien. :P
Imagine a world where microfilms were considered high tech
this is my favorite episode ever
Superb my all time favourite episode
My favorite Doctor, thanks for posting, would love to see all of Toms episodes especially "Genesis of the Daleks" please!
Completely awesome
This was the one serial which cemented The Fourth Doctor over my mind.
Dr. Who proper! I love it, miss it very much!
outstanding tv show! He is the one and only Dr. Who to me. Unforgettable!
Awesome shows mate keep up the good work 👍😃
Love the green bubble wrap.
The Doctor corrects Harry's claim that it's a mortuary and Harry continues to think the humans are dead.
Ah, the days before CGI and Blue Screen that make things look too good.
I recon they would of had Blue/Green screen effects back then but you're right the over use of CGI now days has just gone over the top.
State-of-the art digital effects date much quicker. There's a theatricality to the style here where yes we KNOW they're all terrified of bubble wrap but good actors can sell anything.
Tom Baker, charismatic, slightly unhinged, awesome.
my role model
The Blu-Ray upscale gives this a feeling that is neither cinema or TV, totally unique. This looks far more expensive than it did in 1975. Must watch the Blu-Ray versions of Blake's 7.
Love this story
Love Dr. Who
And here I thought futurama invented the suicide booth.
Dr. Who for the win.
Indomitable good word
Tom baker is my absolute favorite Doctor. (Then David, Matt, Peter, Christopher, Peter Davis, John, Sylvester, Jodie) Thank you posting this.
My family and I were captured / enthralled with Tom Baker when we lived in Texas in the late 1980's..Tom was the Doctor then and we thought the world of his adventures--wishing to go with him..
