On 31 March 1991 Fox made an extended appearance on the British television discussion programme "After Dark", alongside Piltdown man debunker Prof Teddy Hall; secular humanist activist Barbara Smoker; theologian N. T. Wright; playwright Hyam Maccoby (who theorized that Jesus was an apocalyptic Jew and Messianic claimant); author Ian Wilson (known chiefly for speculative writing on the Shroud of Turin); and others. In 1993, Fox’s conflicts with Catholic authorities climaxed with his expulsion from the Dominican Order for "disobedience," effectively ending his professional relationship with the church and his teaching at its universities.
