The Fires of Pompei (Doctor Who 4.2)

Very brief, non-spoilery reaction:

That. Was. Fantastic.

Huge amounts of fun, harrowingly sad, the Doctor was cool, Donna was great, and I loved it. :-)

Was fun wasn't it? *g* Did you have a Monty Python moment too or was it just me and OH? And a Mary Poppins moment...

Um, no to both, I'm afraid. Not really a Python fan. And Mary Poppins???

[aeron-lanart.livejournal.com]

Mary Poppins; indeed. The bit where they yell 'Positions everyone' and they all grab something valuable. At least I think it's a Poppins reference.

As for the bit that reminds me of Python, it's where the monks are carrying the stone circuits up the hill. It's probably just me. Go have a look here, the bit I mean is around 7 minutes in to 7 mins 30... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdKqFBZf4qA

Hmm, yeah, I see what you mean. :-)

The Mary Poppins 'positions' thing - is that when Mr Banks is coming home after work? They all have to be in position for him?
