armbIt was nice to see in Doctor Who Confidential that they took David Tennant to Pompeii and taught him some history. A shame they didn't teach anything to the scriptwriter. I know it's not about the history, but that's no excuse for gratuitous ignorance:

(The end was a bit poor too - either he can interfere then on a small scale, or not, but claiming he can't and then changing his mind?)
But good fun on the whole.
