You may be looking for the First Doctor TV story of the same name or the TV version of this story with a slightly altered title.

The Ark was part of the seventh series of The Lost Stories, produced by Big Finish Productions. Although it was numbered as the first story in the series, it came out after Daleks! Genesis of Terror, which was numbered as the second story.

It was adapted by Jonathan Morris, from the original script of The Ark in Space by John Lucarotti, and featured Tom Baker as the Fourth Doctor, Sadie Miller as Sarah Jane Smith and Christopher Naylor as Harry Sullivan.

Publisher's summary[[edit] | [edit source]]

A space station orbiting Earth has lain dormant for 8,476 years. Its systems are clogged with dust, so the human crew kept frozen in cryogenic storage have never woken up.

When the Doctor, Sarah and Harry arrive to resuscitate the sleepers, they discover something else on board. A small, golf-ball like object gives Harry an electric shock, and has a more sinister impact on the awakening crew. Soon, the Doctor and his friends are battling to save the space station - and Earth - from a ravenous puffball!
