<\/a><\/div>\nThe intersection of religion and Doctor Who in this photo from the Doctor Who world tour caught my eye. How would you caption it? What Doctor Who dialogue could you imagine if this were a scene from an episode?<\/p>\n
In related news, I'm thinking of including on a list of fun assignments for a class I am teaching this semester, the possibility of writing a Doctor Who minisode in which the Doctor travels back into Earth history and meets Paul the apostle. What do you think might happen in such an episode?<\/p>\n
