Synopsis by Hal Erickson

In the third episode of the four-part story "The Ark in Space," the Doctor (Tom Baker) and his companions are still adrift in the derelict space station Nerva Beacon, where they have successfully revived the last surviving residents of Planet Earth, who have long been held in suspended animation. Danger rears its ugly head when the Wirrrn, a race of gigantic insects, step up their efforts to "brain-drain" the hapless humans. Adding to the crisis is the discovery that Noah (Kenton Moore), the leader of the humans, is not all he seems to be. Written by Robert Holmes, "The Ark in Space, Episode 3" originally aired on February 8, 1975.
