We found it in a cupboard.

The commander, Noah is recusitated, but has an unwanted encounter with the invader on board Nerva Beacon.

Glorious sci fi horror, Ark in Space is an episode of real quality. Vira is a terrific character, I loved the misunderstandings about language, the performance of Wendy Williams is absolutely wonderful, one of the best I can remember. The monster is a good one, I love how green it is, a great colour for a monster. I know it's bubble wrap, but it looks ok, the creature in the solar stack looked excellent.

Harry's line 'we found it in a cupboard,' is one of the best episodes in the show's history, hilarious, but delivered in magical style by Matter.

Excellent.
