  The Council of Nicaea
The Doctor claims to be an interested but impartial observer to the religious debate, which is Constantine’s own position; however, as he is Emperor, the bishops keep pestering him to choose one side or the other, and he’s heartily sick of it.
She questions whether the Doctor is really familiar with this era; he claims to have studied it in detail, but he’s always told her that historical documents are no replacement for being there.
When the Doctor learns that Peri and Erimem have met Arius himself, he warns them that they can’t risk intervening here; this is a crucial moment of history, the first time that politics and religion came together under the aegis of the Christian Church, and interfering now could change the whole of human history.

But for Erimem this is her future she is witnessing and so does not appreciate the complexities of time travel and the damage that can be caused if key historical events are changed when to one person this is the future and not the past.
The Council of Nicaea is a pure historical, and as such I’ve tried to stay as true as possible to the people involved in these events.
The contentious subject of religion in Doctor Who, particularly Christianity, might ironically have been less contentious in a sci-fi setting, but it could also have trivialised what is one of the most important moments in history.

Audio is the ideal medium to explore historical periods, a media that champions language and writing rather than visuals, focussing on strong characterisation and performances.
The Doctor's concern for his companion is keenly felt, even when he is frustrated at her lack of self-control with her beliefs, there is always the feeling that he is looking out for her, trying to protect her from her own actions.
There is often a feeling that the Doctor and Peri are closer than the Doctor and Erimem and it is spelt out in fl and white here when he threatens to leave Erimem behind in the TARDIS at the end of episode one.

 Doctor Who   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The Two Doctors is arguably the most successful plotwise, because, of course, it only has two Doctors to juggle and is the longest of the three.
The Doctors may all have fulfilled the same kind of plot functions down the years, but the way in which they do it is radically different.
Peter's Doctor is given to understatement and there's often this sort of all-pervading 'long suffering' feel to his approach and what he says.

When Doctor Who first aired on November 23rd, 1963, no one could have imagined that 40 years later the universe's most famous Time Lord would continue to entertain millions of fans world wide.
Several of the authors of Doctor Who fiction have taken liberties with this history, presenting stories which were apocryphal.

But he is claimed, in spite of his "advanced" views on these and similar points, as a Protestant at bottom; for he is represented as upholding the fundamental dogma of Protestantism -- the denial that the Roman Church is infallible in her faith and the necessary centre of Catholicity.

 Philip Blosser: Doctor of Philosophy - Articles Online
Instead of fighting with Sun-worshipers who were trying to rip off their feast, early Christians simply "re-appropriate[d] the pagan 'Birth of the Unconquered Sun' to refer, on the occasion of the birth of Christ, to the rising of the 'Sun of Salvation' or the 'Sun of Justice.'" Mark that, because we shall return to it.
If there are those, as Paul says, who willingly "turn aside to myths" and "refuse to endure sound doctrine," and "accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires," there are also others who are led astray by these sorts of apostates.
It is not I who forbid him to doubt; he has taken the matter into his own hands when he determined on asking for leave; he has begun, not ended, in unbelief; his very wish, his purpose, is his sin.

Indeed, it wasn't until moderates (the Cappadocian fathers) emerged who would firmly defend the authority of the Nicene creed, but would interpret it in a way that was widely acceptable to even their moderate opponents, that the Nicene orthodoxy became well-established.
The brilliance of the Cappadocian solution was that it navigated between the extremes of Arianism and modalism to emerge at the head of a new coalition which would affirm what would become the orthodox Christology.
