Last week’s instalment of Doctor Who saw the latest terrifying appearance of one of the Time Lord’s most legendary adversaries – the dreaded Weeping Angels.

The statuesque monsters have become fan favourites since their first appearance in the 2007 episode Blink, and last week they more than lived up to their spine-chilling reputation in a thrilling cliffhanger episode that is resolved this week.

‘It’s an amazing, game-changing cliffhanger that only the Weeping Angels could provide for the Doctor,’ says showrunner Chris Chibnall, who believes the time was right for the Angels to return.
