Doctor Who Magazine reveals...

[avevale_intelligencer]

...that an episode of nuWHo's upcoming season will be set in Pompeii at the time of the eruption of Vesuvius. I would be prepared to bet a small sum of money that the Seventh Doctor and Mel, who were also there at the time according to the Big Finish audio adventure "The Fires Of Vulcan," will not be making an appearance. Given the editorial chunterings in this issue about how realWho and nuWho are actually all the same, one great big series (whose hero figure just happens to become a completely different type of character in 2005), one might think, if RTD and the team share that view, that they might have run to sticking another TARDIS into the background of a long shot, unnoticed by any of the others. But I suppose that would be pandering to the fans. Or showing that they care, perhaps.

All one big series except for the bits that aren't, then.
