VBS Mess: Church's Doctor Who Theme Criticized

[Jerome]

Church criticised over adverts for ‘Doctor Who’ event

An evangelical church has been accused of “misleading” parents and children by using Doctor Who to promote a religious summer club.

Colour postcards advertising the free “Doctor Phew and the Tardisodes” event have been handed out to primary school children, bearing an image of the Tardis and urging them to “encounter the Ultimate Time Lord”.

BBC Wales has already distanced itself from the event in Cardiff next month

The event – planned to take place between August 30 and September 2 – will feature Doctor Who-related activities, including people dressed as Daleks, dramas and a walk-through Tardis.

From the church's website:

We're going to be squeezing fun into this week like Amy Pond squeezes into her skirt! There won't be one dull moment
