DVD 076: The Ark in Space (Special Edition)

The Doctor and his companions Sarah (Elisabeth Sladen) and Harry (Ian Marter) arrive on a seemingly deserted space station many years in the future. Station Nerva is not as empty as it appears, though; onboard are the cryogenically preserved survivors of Earth's destruction, as well as an insectlike alien race, the Wirrn, which are determined to use the humans--and the Doctor--as hosts to grow their monstrous larvae.
