Writer of the LOST ARK

As the fabled first version of the story that became The Ark in Space is brought to life on audio, STUART MANNING charts the ups and downs of writer John Lucarotti’s times on Doctor Who. f Dalek creator Terry Nation defined early Doctor Who’s visions of the future, then fellow writer John Lucarotti did the same for its journeys into the past. From 1964’s epic travelogue Marco Polo to the nuanced moral dilemmas of The Aztecs later that same year, Lucarotti demonstrated a knack for making the TARDIS’ journeys into history both immersive and gritty, all the while fulfilling BBC Head of Drama Sydney Newman’s Reithian goal to make Doctor Who educational as well as escapist.
