Doctor Who: the weeping angels are back

Simon Brew


The scariest episode of Doctor Who in modern times? That’d be Blink. And Steven Moffat warns us that its weeping angels are returning...

Published on Dec 16, 2009

Appreciating that many people's Doctor Who radar is firmly focused, for utterly understandable reasons, on the next two weeks, some really interesting news has nonetheless emerged about the next series.

Steven Moffat, for he is the boss man these days, has been talking about the fifth season of Doctor Who since its revival. And as part of an interview for BBC Radio 3's Night Waves programme, he has revealed that arguably his finest creation in the world of Doctor Who, the weeping angels from Blink, will be returning.

We were alerted by the fine folks at Blogtor Who, who have the full audio interview over at their site. And while firm details of which episode the angels will be returning in is unclear, Moffat confirms that he loves the scariness of Doctor Who, and has plenty of interesting things to say.

Here's the link to the interview.

Agh, can DoG start doing spoiler tags again and not include the spoiler in the title please? I love reading here, I don't want to have to skip this place for the next few months :(

Agree with DamonD - love reading the site but would also like to avoid DW spoilers. Please start doing spoiler tags and keeping the titles ambiguous!

For the most part, finding out an appearance for a particular monster is hardly a spoiler. Ussually that gets out before the broadcast of a story anyways as part of the publicity for it. ie the cover of Radio Times etc.

The marketing opportunities of bringing this monster back are huge. There is no spoiler - they'll be all over the press come spring. Have a word with yourselves
