Brilliant Space Adventure

This is the perfect recommendation for new viewers for the Fourth Doctor I reckon, as this has everything a 70's serial needs. The amazing sets, memorable side characters, and fun villains, being the Wirrn. Four's 'Homo Sapiens' speech is so good, and this is probably Harry's best story as well. Sarah could have done more, but she is still pretty good as well. The first episode is easily the highlight, as the TARDIS team wandering around the empty Ark is so cool and peaceful, but the traps along the way, and the eventual mystery of the Wirrn keeps the audience engaged. The bubble wrap hasn't aged well, but it is worth it for Noah's performance. Overall, a highlight of the Classic Show, and there is barely any faults here.
