One of Donna’s best characteristics is how much she cares about other people. She has such a big heart!!

Note for all future episodes, don’t look at the cast’s names in the title sequence for any episode except the last two. This series in particular kinda spoils things. Also underrated episode. I love episodes that remind us why the Doctor travels with a companion. Someone to provide another perspective and their own feelings. Donna is wonderful, and the entire last 10 minutes is just peak television.

I usually get here too late to have much of worth to add to the conversation so allow me this rare opportunity to be the first to mention the pretty heavy handed link to the classic series in this episode. The allusion to his having been in Rome before, and the great fire having 'a little bit to do with him' is a reference to a story from way back in season 2 in the early '60s, with one of my favourite TARDIS crews visiting ancient Rome and getting tangled up in court intrigue in Neros palace. It's played as kind of a knockabout farcical comedy and does indeed end with the Doctor accidentally starting the great fire.

I love this episode. That "DONNA. HUMAN. NO." is the moment I knew I was going to love Donna. Rose and Martha were young and very in awe of The Doctor, Donna admires him too, but she knows who she is and she is not taking any BS from him - she’s not about to do what he wants because he said so. She’s not afraid to stand her ground and challenge him, she is loud and she pushes back a lot, but she also listen to him and when it counts she’s definitely on his side in the end. I feel like the Doctor may be looking for young impressionable humans to boost his (large) ego, but Donna is actually what he needs: someone who can be a friend, and an equal (as much as a human can be). Also this ep made me realise how good of an actress Catherine Tate is. I knew about the comedy, but damn is she heartbreaking when it comes to drama.

“Just someone, please. Not the whole town, just save someone.” One of my favourite episodes, honestly. SUCH a strong (and emotionally taxing) first adventure for Donna! THAT’S my companion 😭 Donna screaming and crying through the streets of Pompeii always breaks my heart ☹️ holding the Doctor’s hand to help ignite the volcano - after trying her best to warn everyone - just so he doesn’t have to do it alone ☹️☹️standing up to him when he tells her to go back to the Tardis, begging him to save people… and he did!!! You can’t save everyone but you do what you can 🥹 She’s so special to me. Catherine Tate was a powerhouse in this show, she deserves so much recognition HER FACE!! You get it 😭😭 You’re gonna cry a whole lot more this season, don’t worry 🫶🏼😅

It’s also doubly heartbreaking because the Doctor has consistently spoken about how HE was the only one who could end the Time War, causing the death of both the Daleks and the Time Lords, which is why he is the only Survivor Having to once again make that choice to sacrifice tens of thousands of people… Donna understood the weight of the decision, she saved him 😭

This episode encapsulates exactly what makes Donna my favourite companion. Her heart really shines, but I also love how she kinda puts the Doctor in his place. "Donna, human, NO!" She refuses to let the Doctor think she's "just a human" and I adore her for it. They really feel like equals.

Neil Silverman

I always really liked this episode. I thought they handled the tragedy with the gravitas it deserved while at the same time preserving the sense of discovery and adventure that is Doctor Who. And yeah, Catherine Tate kills it in this episode, for sure. And in the process proves both to the Doctor and to the audience why she really is a great companion. Side note, if you (or anyone in the comments) are interested in more about Pompeii, one of my favorite youtubers, miniminuteman (aka archaeologist Milo Rossi), just put out a video last Sunday all about it, and why the commonly accepted date of the eruption in August, which the Doctor even quoted in this episode, is almost certainly wrong. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to learn more: https://youtu.be/EXCOCT2w0qA?si=uHrPEBT34-NIrwSq

I definitely second the point about not reading the titles this season, it does spoil who is what episode. Oh, and Gramps is Bernard Cribbins, an English national institution who sadly passed away a few years back. . He also appeared in an off-brand Dr Who/ Dalek movie in the 1960s (and famously, the railway children), and a couple of hit comedy songs….oh and of course, theres an nod in the names, Caecilius’ family being from the UKs old latin course schoolbooks.

Re: production values The Fires of Pompeii was filmed at the legendary Cinecittà film studio in Rome. So many classics have been made there in over the last almost 100 years.

I enjoy them messing with the TARDIS auto translator. Latin is automatically translated so when they say Latin phrases it translates them to Welsh.

“Nothing can survive it. Certainly not us.” “Nevermind us.” Tears. She’s so brave… Honestly one of my favourite episodes, performance-wise at least x

Looking back at series 4 it is full of foreshadowing (and some of that foreshadowing we had to wait years before a resolution). The 'she is returning' is an obvious one, but 'There's something on your back' - I would take note of that 😉.
