This was arguably one of the scariest scenes of the entire series. No aliens, no tricksters, but just the Doctor utterly bewildered, not in a funny way, but obviously internally terrified. Space travel hadn't even been considered then, but he's being told about his planet, his home, and things that they shouldn't even understand. There's no scientific reason he can see, no aliens that are hiding. The Doctor with no fight or argument, rational or irrational, is more terrifying than anything. He has no plan, not even the makings of a plan or response, just utter confusion.
The writing and small details of this scene was so masterful and foreshadowing, The fact that Lucius was able to easily identify the Doctor's homeworld but took a pause to determine London because the Pyroviles would know of Gallifrey before they crashed and connected with the Romans in Pompeii and so have heard of it but at that time London was known as Londinium and wouldn't be known as 'London' for a very long-time so Lucius connected to the Pyroviles had to literally scan an entire time stream to connect to Donna's time and a completely foreign place (London not Londinium) to know where she was from hence the pause he took, scanned the time stream in a few seconds.
The film technique when Lucius says ‘doctor, she is returning… and you, daughter of London, there is something on your back!’ is only secondary to the building climactic music… one of the best pieces of film work in the entire show… hands down!
this is what i love about the writers that wrote the scripts for doctors 9 to 12, everything was connected and the story was all integrated, even across regenerations, that is sadly not present in the 13th doctor, she is an entertaining actor but she has been let down by the script.
New headcannon: The Doctor needed a rebound from Clara so he started a family in Pompeii and when his younger self stepped in, he was like, "Oh, I remember being you. This is gonna be funny when you look back on it. "
Lucius’ speech was so surprising, but Evelina gave me goosebumps. The beautifully tragic and dramatic way she described the doctors life in such a short sentence is beyond extraordinary.
The goosebumps when Lucius says "man from Gallifrey"

Just for a second, before Tennant wandered in, I forgot that Capaldi wasn't the Doctor. How idiotic...
Wow! I just realised he said to Donna, "there's something on your back"

This is probably my favourite scene in all of Doctor Who
12th Doctor: What are you doing? How many times must I tell myself, no crossing timelines! Amy: Helloooooo! 10: How did she get here?!

"She's been consuming the vapors."
"I concede that every sun must set, and yet the son of the father must also rise"
"Daughter of... (long pause) London..."
"Must excuse my friend shes from...Barcelona.."Nine is crying in his grave, he never got to go Barcelona with Rose..
"Damn, very clever sir" - polite way of saying bollocks I underestimated you...
plot twist, that was he 12th doctor that went back in time to laugh at sand shoes behind his back
