| Pompeii |
|
 |
|
| Writer: Russell T Davies |
|
Notes: In casting about for a
budget-saving storyline for the penultimate adventure of Doctor
Who's first season back on the air, executive producer Davies
briefly
considered “Pompeii” after watching the BBC broadcast of the
docudrama Pompeii: The Last Day in October 2003. It was
eventually replaced by Boom
Town, while the notion of setting a story in Pompeii was
ultimately given to James Moran to develop for The Fires Of Pompeii three years
later.

| Writer: Paul Abbott |
|
Notes: After being approached by
his friend, executive producer Russell T Davies, Abbott agreed to write
this episode. Following a month's development, however, Abbott came to
the conclusion that he was too busy with other projects to devote the
necessary time to his Doctor Who script. This story was
consequently abandoned, and Davies himself wrote Boom Town to replace it.
