Summary:
Sally Sparrow enters an old abandoned house and finds a message on the wall, which warns her about the Weeping Angels. The message is signed by the Doctor and dated 1969. The next day, Sally takes her friend Kathy to the house who vanishes and she gets a strange letter from her, saying that she was transported back into the past and lived a good life. Sally doesn't know what to think about this and therefore she goes to the police where the cop Billy tells her about the empty cars, which were found in front of the house. There is also a police box and Sally comes back when she remembers that the key she has found could fit. The police box is gone and Billy as well but then she gets a call from an old Billy who tells her what happened and that she has to save the phone box from the Angels to save the Doctor. Sally returns to the house to find the phone box but can she really defeat the Angels? How can the Doctor know what will happen?
I think this is the first Doctor-light episode in the show but it's one of the best ones nonetheless. The Weeping Angels are just creepy creatures and you see statues in a totally different light when you've watched this episode. The episode has a dark feeling about it and it's a bit of holding your breath before the big three parter at the end of the series starts. Maybe that's also a reason why we don't see a lot of the Doctor and Martha because the actors were busy filming other scenes and they didn't have enough money left. Well, putting this aside I can only say that this is a brilliant episode and the explanation of time which the Doctor gives on the DVDs is just great. Definitely an episode you have to watch.
