| Abstract | Marcus Harmes, meanwhile, considers different portrayals of the Church of England in the Russell T. Davies and Stephen Moffat eras. Whereas Davies's episodes featured the Church both literally and metaphorically under attack, Moffat portrays a reconstructed, active and militarised (if theologically vague) Church of England. Reading this through Iris Murdoch's novel The Time of the Angels, Harmes offers important insights into the way religion is portrayed in Doctor Who, and the institutional Church is seen in science fiction in general. |
