They're just there to give the Doctor someone to talk to, because Tegan and Turlough are stuck crawling through ventilation shafts and avoiding the ship's sterilization procedures.
Oh, and the old space hulk was responsible for creating the universe (one of its fuel pods fell back in time and kicked off the Big Bang), and it's now in danger of ''destroying'' it. Only by pulling a really heavy switch can the process be stopped. Nobody tell the Master about this thing, OK?

The remastered effects just created a CGI version of the original model however, and mostly showed the station in long shots, completely losing the effect of scale.
