Continuity
In a previous adventure, the Seventh Doctor visited Pompeii with Mel in the story The Fires of Vulcan.

It is possible that this episode will feature Jack Harkness. In The Doctor Dances he made several references to Pompeii as a good time con, and that it worked best when 'set your clock for "Volcano Day."
