I'm new to this, but there's a couple of references that you may want to list. Firstly, The Doctor and Donna instroduce themselves both as Spartacus, a reference to the 1960 film of the same name. Also, when Donna is asking what an auger is(Around 13 mins in), The Doctor explains that she's from Barcelona, a reference to the TV show Fawlty Towers, where the main character explained away the oddness of his waiter manuel, by saying 'Oh don't mind him, he's from Barcelona'. Finally, the two scenes around 5:30 and 9:30 in with the family preparing for the volcano are remarkably similar to a scene in the 1964 film Mary Poppins. [[1]] Is a clip of the scene, around 1 minute in. 86.20.208.2 02:45, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
