History[[edit] | [edit source]]
Pyrovillia was one of the 27 stolen planets the Daleks transported to the Medusa Cascade, and one of only three planets in this operation that were not taken from 2009. It was, instead, taken more than two thousand years earlier. (TV: The Stolen Earth [+]Loading...["The Stolen Earth (TV story)"]) This led the Pyroviles to attempt to conquer Earth to replace it as Pyrovillia as their home world only for the Tenth Doctor and Donna Noble to stop them. (TV: The Fires of Pompeii [+]Loading...["The Fires of Pompeii (TV story)"])
By 2009, the disappearance of Pyrovillia was considered a cold case by the Shadow Proclamation. However, the Tenth Doctor and his companion Donna Noble factored in that while 24 other worlds had been stolen simultaneously, this one could have been taken from another time. It was then discovered by the Doctor that the planet was stolen by the Daleks and put in the Medusa Cascade along with twenty-six other worlds, including Adipose 3 and the lost moon of Poosh, which, like Pyrovillia, also went missing earlier to the mass planet disappearances. (TV: The Stolen Earth [+]Loading...["The Stolen Earth (TV story)"]) After Donna had defeated the Daleks, she was able to reverse the disappearance and send it back to its proper location. (TV: Journey's End [+]Loading...["Journey's End (TV story)"])
Jack Harkness claimed the Icelandic race were of alien origin, possibly from the vicinity of Pyrovillia. They had crashed on Earth while investigating the volcanoes of Iceland. (AUDIO: The Sin Eaters [+]Loading...["The Sin Eaters (audio story)"])
The Eleventh Doctor once mentioned "sherbert lava lumps from Pyrovilia" among various sweets that he liked. (PROSE: "Sweet Talker!" [+]Part of Doctor, Doctor! 275, Loading...{"page":"28","namedpart":"Sweet Talker!","1":"Doctor, Doctor! (DWA 275 short story)"})
Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
The spelling "Pyrovillia" is consistently used in the scripts for The Fires of Pompeii, The Stolen Earth and Journey's End, and is reflected in the subtitles on BBC iPlayer as well as sources such as The Time Traveller's Almanac [+]Loading...["The Time Traveller's Almanac (reference book)"], Starships and Spacestations [+]Loading...["Starships and Spacestations (reference book)"], The Ultimate Monster Guide [+]Loading...["The Ultimate Monster Guide (reference book)"], Doctor Who: The Encyclopedia, The Visual Dictionary, Doctor Who The Official Annual 2010, 100 Scariest Monsters [+]Loading...["100 Scariest Monsters (reference book)"] and Doctor Who Character Encyclopedia. An alternative spelling, "Pyrovilia", is used in Sweet Talker!, The Official Doctionary and Doctor Who 50: The Essential Guide. Both spellings appear in Doctor Who The Official Annual 2009.
