A Weeping Angel
|
|
 When Sally Sparrow breaks into an old, abandoned house she gets more than she bargained for. While taking photographs she notices, behind a pealing piece of wallpaper, part of a message. Curious as to what the rest of the message is she pulls of the remaining wallpaper and is astounded to find a message addressed to her written in 1969 from someone called The Doctor. The message tells her to duck. Which she does and so misses being hit by a flying projectile. She is also warned to watch out for the Weeping Angels.
Sally is completely baffled and so the following day she returns to the abandoned house with her friend Kathy Nightingale. When a young man arrives at the door Sally is presented with a parcel addressed to herself – inside she finds a letter from Kathy and a number of photos. The letter though is dated from the 1920’s. Thinking this is some form of joke Sally goes looking for Kathy, who she left inside the house when she went to answer the door. But her friend is nowhere to be found. Sally investigates upstairs and finds a number of statues – all are of angels and all are covering their faces. One of the statues is holding a key which Sally takes. Convinced that one of the statues moved Sally rushes from the house. As she runs down the driveway she is watched from a number of windows by the statues.
The letter from Kathy leads Sally to a video store where Kathy's brother Larry works and then a local police station where she goes to report the dissaperance of her friend. It is then that the pieces of this mystery start to come together. Kathy has been transported back to the 1920’s by an ancient alien race that are made of stone when looked at. But when not being observed they can move about. And if they touch you then you will be transported back in time – and this is what has happened to Kathy and then to the police officer Sally talks to. It is while at the police station that Sally also finds the TARDIS – but of course she is not aware that it is a time machine that belongs to The Doctor and that the key she found is for the TARDIS.

A number of clues left by The Doctor leads Sally to watch a hidden message, known as an Easter Egg, left by The Doctor on all 17 DVD’s that Sally owns. It is revealed by a strange transcript that The Doctor and Martha Jones have fallen foul of the Weeping Angels and have both become trapped in 1969 without the TARDIS.
Larry has already watched the Easter Egg but does not understand its meaning as it is only half of a conversation between The Doctor and somebody else. When Sally watches it and starts to question The Doctor it becomes clear that they can have a conversation – but how is this possible? How can The Doctor appear on the DVD and know what Sally is going to say back to him when the Easter Egg has been pre-recorded?

More importantly in the Easter Egg The Doctor warns Sally that she must not let the Weeping Angels touch her and to prevent that happening then she and Larry must not blink.
Realising the terrible danger they are in, and that The Doctor and Martha are relying on them, Sally and Larry must find a way out of the abandoned house and into the TARDIS so that they can return it to The Doctor. All without becoming another of the Weeping Angels victims.
Therefore whatever they do, they must not blink…
