The Papal Conclave...a Doctor Who metaphor? Hmm...

With all the recent hubabaloo about replacing Christopher Eccleston as the Doctor with David Tennant, and the commissioning of both a 2nd series & a Doctor Who Christmas special, it isn’t surprising someone’s taken some inspiration to play around with these comings and goings…

I found this as a signature to someone’s post on Outpost Gallifrey’s Doctor Who forum. Transpose our favourite Time Lord with a fancy-robed church prelate, and this is what you get:

It’s thought that the next Pope will appear in a recently announced Christmas special, but Vatican officials are keeping tight-lipped over whether or not the current pontiff will make an appearance.

In related news, the Vatican has confirmed that they are in negotiations for the rights to feature the Pope’s arch-enemy, Satan, in the next series.

Well…it made ME laugh. smile
