Trivia:
Caecilius, Metella and Quintus are all named after characters who appeared in the first book of the Cambridge Latin Course, which is set in Pompeii just before its destruction. moreGoofs:
Revealing mistakes: During the earthquakes in Caecillius' house before the eruption, despite the walls, statues and other ornaments shaking, the water in the pond remained perfectly still. moreQuotes:
The Doctor: Some things are fixed, some things are in a flux. Pompeii is fixed.Donna Noble: How do you know which is which?
The Doctor: That's how I see the universe. Every waking second, I can see: what is, what was, what could be, what must not. That's the burden of a Time Lord, Donna. And I'm the only one left.

When and on which channel is the latest version of Dr. Who telecast in the United States? My husband and I began watching the program when Tom Baker was the Doctor. At the time, we were on the brink of divorce. Watching Dr. Who each Sunday night gave us something to share and enjoy, and our mutual interest in the program helped to revive our marriage. Is there any way that Tom Baker can be coaxed to make at least a cameo appearance on the show? Unaware that Dr. Who had been revived, I saw a bit of the show on television recently. I have been since searching for the time and station of the telecasts so that my husband and I, now married thirty-five years, can revive our weekly ritual. Please help this Dr. Who fan find the good doctor again.
