Caecilius in horto sedet

This week's Doctor Who was enjoyable for many reasons, not least of which the fact that I actually got a fairly obscure in-joke. At least I assume it was an in-joke as otherwise it would be too much of a coincidence. You see, when I was about 12 or 13 I had some classics lessons at school, which comprised some very basic Latin lessons and a load of "how the Romans lived" stuff, all through the medium of a series of booklets following the exploits of a Pompeiian merchant named Caecilius and his family, which included a wife named Metella and a son named Quintus. I am pleased to have predicted the character names in advance. I expect that is the last such flash of insight I will have this year.
