This was just excellent. Thoughtful, interesting, and a something that has ultimately become a very cool companion piece to the Fires of Pompeii. Mel really gets to shine here with the Seventh Doctor and the story was a lot of fun. I liked a lot of the supporting characters here like that Murranus guy or even the basic set-up of finding the TARDIS in Pompeii. A really great audio on the whole. Sure, this is less thoughtful than some other historicals, or even the show version of Pompeii, in my opinion, I still had a good time, even if I wasn't quite as invested in it as I was in Fires of Pompeii.
