8
of pompey take a look wow i mean we're in great
9
tom joins us now oh mate this looks wonderful thank you so much i I love it.
10
It's a subject that's really close to my heart.
11
I've loved it all my life.
12
When I was a child, I grew up just into the Greek myths, you know, thesis and the minor tour.
13
So who introduced you to this then?
14
Was it your family?
15
It was interesting.
16
So I did Latin at school around the same time as I did French.
17
I started learning French and Latin at the same time, and I twigged, as most people will know, that all the vocabulary from French comes from the Latin
18
and then i started doing spanish gcse
19
and i was like oh this is just like latin i just loved languages
20
and then i did it at gcsc and a level and
21
when i was 17 it's
22
so memorable summer of 1998 another world cup summer uh france 98 me
23
and two friends got the train through europe it's just before my a levels uh to rome
24
and naples and we got an interrail ticket back in the glory days
25
no adult supervision no teachers no parents no phones
26
and we were all doing something related to the ancient world for a level
27
and we landed in naples and read in the in the guidebook you go to pompeii
28
and we went to pompeii at the age of 17
29
and until that point latin had existed for me in books in the classroom
30
and you arrive in pompeii and i promise you this
31
if you ever go and and you must because it's such a beautiful part of the world anyway.
32
You walk into Pompeii and it is like traveling back in time.
33
Wow.
34
You are walking into the past.
35
It's an ancient town the size of Oxford, and it's been perfectly preserved by the volcanic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.
36
And you feel 2,000 years between now and then compress
37
and collapse it's like time travel and you always
38
if these walls could talk they do the paintings the frescoes they found bread still baking in the oven
39
and it's in the museum they found babies cradles and you realize
40
that it connects you to a thread of human history you you think these people lived 2,000 years ago.
41
They are at the cornerstone of Western European civilization.
42
And so much of how they lived and how they thought and how they spoke and their culture, politics, how they made laws, how they ate, how they,
43
you know, baked bread and sold food in the market is the basis for who we are now.
44
And it's that I've loved it then, I love it now, the feeling of the proximity of the distance.
45
It's so far away, but it's so close.
46
Yeah.
47
It's such a human story as well, isn't it?
48
Like you said, they were cooking bread, they loved their families, they were just going about their daily business.
49
That's the most remarkable thing about Pompeii, is that it's also unfathomable to think of a volcanic eruption.
50
Vesuvius is right there.
51
And I don't think they knew it was a volcano.
52
I think they knew about the earthquakes.
53
But most people we learn about in history are people whose lives they expect to be remembered.
54
Politicians, generals, soldiers.
55
These are ordinary people.
56
That's what I love about this whole situation.
57
Because you think there's a timeline, there's a timeline, there's a moment where you either choose to stay in Pompeii or you choose to leave.
58
And you look at three characters, don't you?
59
Tell us a little bit about those characters.
60
It's a young boy, isn't it?
61
So, yeah, basically you could pick...
62
There are thousands of characters you could pick in Pompeii.
63
We picked three who we loved.
64
And research is so detailed now that...
65
Pompeii is full of graffiti and inscriptions.
66
They didn't have paper.
67
So they used to leave messages for each other on the walls.
68
So if you take an inscription and you find the name outside the city that dates after the eruption, you know that person made it out.
69
So we found the name of a teenage boy who's about the same age as I was when I first went there, a businesswoman called Julia Felix, whose house you can visit.
70
It's this massive estate who ran a bathhouse, a kind of spa, to be honest, and an elite soldier.
71
I mean, three really different people who all happened to be in Pompeii on the day of the eruption in 79 AD.
72
And what I discovered making the show is I thought the volcano erupted and the city was buried in ash and pumice.
73
What I learned was there was a whole day.
74
Volcano erupted at about lunchtime in mid-August in 79 AD.
75
And the following day around lunchtime, the pyroclastic flow, which is what they call a kind of avalanche of ash and pumice,
76
buries the city for 1,800 years and preserves it.
77
So you've got a day.
78
You think, I've got a day to make choices, and I wanted to, in real time, almost set the stopwatch and track each of them, see if they turn left, turn right.
79
Does the teenage boy go back to find his mum?
80
Does Julia help get her guests out of the house?
81
Does the elite soldier suddenly have the skill set to get people into the boats and out into the Bay of Naples?
82
It's a disaster movie, basically, right?
83
Yeah, yeah, it is a disaster.
84
These terrible, tragic human consequences.
85
But then the extraordinary thing is it is a tragedy and many people lost their lives.
86
What I found is, and it felt so resonant and so contemporary,
87
is you can tell from the historical record that these communities collected together to help each other in a crisis.
88
Exactly what people do today.
89
And it's really moving.
90
You can track their movements to see that people went back for their families, their children.
91
And Ali mentioned the minority report.
92
I mean, the effects look incredible.
93
And when someone pitches this to you, there's a point of view that goes, yeah it's not really gonna look like that right
94
but it really does not no dry documentary this is like
95
a Hollywood movie documentary I thought we wanted to go for
96
it you know we wanted to earn our place in in there's
97
so many stories that was a little nod to the fact
98
that some of the films I've been in have involved some pretty interesting tech yeah
99
and I thought we could we could play with that
100
but it really was just about I wanted to make it as immersive
101
and propulsive and emotional as I could I wanted to earn my place in there there's
102
so many documentaries about Pompeii and I wanted to people to feel how I felt
103
when I went there but actually these are human stories
104
that we are as connected to their experience as our own
105
and hopefully that might help generate the empathy I feel for them
106
and bring it you know bring the past to life
107
and these two timelines the present tense of me being in pompeii
108
and trying to accumulate evidence
109
and fragments of data pieces of a jigsaw to build a picture
110
but the past running in parallel and then actually at a certain point the past
111
and the present come together my favorite bit I should tell
112
you is the we've got permission from the archaeological park of
113
Pompeii to film at night after dark long after the park had closed
114
and we were doing a sequence where I'm sort of searching
115
for the teenage boy I'm trying to to mirror his journey home in the darkness
116
and it was just me a camera operator the director
117
and we got lost in the streets of Pompeii I've had my phone
118
and and the shadow of Vesuvius you know sort of lit by the moon
119
and it felt like this is what it must have been like for them.
120
And in the film, what happens is, you can see
121
when the teenage boy in 79 AD is trying to see his way through all the ash
122
and the clouds and the pumice, you see this electric light behind him, and it's my phone.
123
And it's me trying to sort of illustrate that the whole show is about trying to illuminate the past.
124
To bring it.
125
Listen, we had so much more Avengers.
126
We did.
127
We're done.
128
That was amazing bless you thank you we're all in we're really

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
