A Welsh church that as featured in a Series 1 Doctor Who episode (it doesn’t say, but presumably the time travel one) is planning a special Doctor Who-themed youth service this Sunday.
St Paul’s Church, in Grangetown, Cardiff, was used as a location for an episode of the first series of Doctor Who starring the ninth Doctor played by Christopher Eccleston.
And parish priest, Father Ben Andrews, 32, says he loves the cult TV show so much he thought a themed evening would go down well with the youngsters.
He said: “I love the series and it has such a great following that we couldn’t resist doing something for young people on a Dr Who theme.
“We will be looking at the idea of Jesus as a Lord of time and showing who Jesus was and the different images of him throughout time.
“We will try and get some Dr Who props in to try and make it as lively as possible.”
My first thought was that it was kind of a goofy idea — but, thinking of some of the youth-themed services I’ve seen (or heard proposed) — well, it sounds a lot more entertaining, at least.
It’s the church where they filmed “Father’s Day”–the one where Rose went back and saved her father from getting hit by a car.
As I said, “the time travel one.” 🙂
