TOM HIDDLESTON IS best known as an actor who stars in films like Thor and The Life of Chuck. But for a new Disney+ show he’s stepping into his presenter shoes to tell us all about Pompeii. 

Pompeii: Out of Time is a Disney+ series about what happened when Vesuvius erupted in AD79, and is a mix of discussions with experts and scripted scenes about what people at the time experienced.

The programme is streaming now on Disney+, so it’s as good a time as any to put your knowledge of Tom Hiddleston to the test.
