* Karen Gillan was later cast as [[Amy Pond]], first companion of the [[Eleventh Doctor]], beginning in [[Series 5 (Doctor Who 2005)|series 5]]. Coincidentally, Amy had an affinity for Romans. Unlike other guest actors who later played more prominent characters (such as [[Lalla Ward]] or [[Freema Agyeman]]), no attempt was made, either on-screen or in behind-the-scenes interviews, to connect Mira the Soothsayer to Amy. Incidentally, {{cs|Amy's History Hunt (video game)}} establishes that the [[Eleventh Doctor]] had told Amy of the events of ''The Fires of Pompeii''. | * Karen Gillan was later cast as [[Amy Pond]], first companion of the [[Eleventh Doctor]], beginning in [[Series 5 (Doctor Who 2005)|series 5]].
