There are lots of things I love about The Ark in Space. The many scenes that are just the Doctor and Harry wandering around chatting among themselves are right up there at the top of that list. These are scenes that simply would not happen in NuWho, there wouldn’t be room for them, yet they are so important in terms of both establishing the characters (new Doctor and new companion) and exploring the situation they find themselves in, as well as being enormously fun to watch. The two of them have such a cute dynamic! I love watching them together as the Doctor strides around assessing the situation and putting all the clues together, while Harry struggles desperately to keep up, completely pole-axed by culture shock. He doesn’t do too badly, all things considered!Also, all those people who think Classic Who did not allow characters to develop want to compare Harry’s utter bewilderment here to his cool competency in Genesis of the Daleks, his confidence in Revenge of the Cybermen and his cross-examination of his alien captors in Terror of the Zygons despite being concussed. It isn’t the same kind of character development you might expect in a modern show, but it’s there nonetheless! The Harry who leaves the Tardis at the end of his run is a lot more open-minded and adaptable than the Harry we first meet in Robot and Ark in Space - that potential was always in him, but it took his experiences with the Doctor to bring it out. -- source link
