whatever you might think of Boomtown In the next episode. We nearly got this:
"Untitled storyline (Abbott)"
Written by Paul Abbott, this episode was intended for episode 11 of Series 1.[168] With Jack Harkness having joined the Ninth Doctor and Rose Tyler, Rose feels left out.[citation needed] But when they land in Pompeii in 79 AD,[citation needed] Jack discovers that Rose's life has been manipulated by the Doctor in an experiment to create the perfect companion.[168] Abbot's commitment to Shameless and other projects led to him dropping out of the episode.[168] Russell T Davies took over and wrote "Boom Town" in its place.[168]
