$\"\"$ A friend drew to my attention a piece of Doctor Who history which will soon be released as an audiobook. Masters of Luxor (Doctor Who Lost Stories 3.7)<\/a> $\"\"$ \u00a0was originally intended to be the second story in the serial, but it was never made, being replaced by The Daleks<\/a> $\"\"$ . And while the Daleks helped turn Doctor Who into a phenomenon, as a scholar of religion, I can\u2019t help but wonder what might have been \u2013 and take an interest in this story, which focuses a lot attention on religion and God, and depicts the Doctor as simultaneously a man of science and a man of faith<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A book version of the script can be purchased used for more than $60 on Amazon, and so I don\u2019t think I will click on \u201cBuy it now.\u201d<\/a> $\"\"$ But I will be keeping my eyes peeled for a less expensive copy \u2013 and\/or will listen to the audiobook when it becomes available.<\/p>\n

If any of you have read the book version of the script, I would be interested to hear your thoughts and impressions.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
