Steven Moffat once said that this was based on a children's game called Grandmother's Footsteps. Grandmother stands with her back to the group, who form a line about 12 metres away. The players then creep forward with the goal of reaching Grandmother, but he or she can turn around at any point, and if they see you moving, you have to start again.

Part of why this rates so highly is because lots of us Whovians use it as a gateway drug for our uninitiated friends. As far as stand alone DW episodes go this one is not only an entire experience but the Doctor is barely existent. You don’t need a flow chart and to try and explain 60 years of a franchise while someone’s eyes glaze over. If you can get a friend to enjoy an episode with you you might be able to talk them into an otherwise intimidatingly huge show.

Because they filmed parts of this story out of sequence, they didn't know that Louis Mahoney would play the elderly Billy with an Afro-Caribbean accent, so Michael Obiora (young Billy) was recalled to re-dub his lines in a similar accent, and did a great job! BTW, Louis Mahoney was making a return to Doctor Who, having previously appeared in two stories in the 1970s.

A brilliant episode! Sally Sparrow is played by future 3 time Oscar nominee Carey Mulligan. Steven Moffat has been making increasingly ordinary things terrifying since 2005. Series 1 - gas masks. Series 2 - clocks. Series 3 - statues. Series 4 - [spoilers]. He was the showrunner for series 5-10, which had various plots involving complicated timelines and loops, rather than just using time travel to arrive at a particular time and place. He also has written an episode for the upcoming series. We'll see how it compares to this one in 12 days time.

Glad you loved the episode. Steven Moffat sure knows how to take everyday objects (or fears) and turn them against both his characters and the audience at home. And he will continue to do that in future seasons. The next episode is the start of NuWho’s first ever three parter that wraps up season 3. You may or not be aware but there is a short 8 minute mini episode which is sandwiched between the last episode of season 3 and the beginning of the Christmas special. It’s called Time Crash and is a little nod to classic Doctor Who with a connection in it to David Tennant.

This episode is partly inspired by a Ninth Doctor adventure in an issue of Doctor Who Magazine. It focused on a 12 year old Sally Sparrow who was visiting relatives and found some old photographs of the Doctor asking for her help. No Weeping Angels, just the Doctor being stranded in the past. He has the "conversation" with Sally through an old VHS tape. Short, sweet, and a fun adventure focused on a pre-teen.

I was born in 2001, Doctor Who was one of the shows that was a huge part of my childhood. I was 6 when this episode aired, and to this day, I remember being absolutely terrified of this episode to the point where every time I was outside and about to approach the direct of a statue, I used to hold my mums hand so tight and stare at it so I neither of us got zapped back in time 😅 I was never a kid who was easily scared of mosters & aliens because I knew they weren't real. However, this episode humbled me and completely to me off gaurd since Doctor Who is a family show which eventhough has dark moments it still prominently remains lighthearted. This episode, on the other hand, was something different entirely. It is so crazy how this show made something as unassuming as a statue into one of the most disturbing creatures of all of science fiction & undeniably one of the greatest villains of all time.

Fell in love with his writing when I saw 'Press Gang' as a young adult, early '90's, couldn't care less it was written for children's tv.

And I watched it back during the pandemic and I found it still better then most shows I've seen. He has earned his BAFTA's and all other rewards he won for his writing.

My story in relation to this was after it aired, I was strapped for time to decorate for Halloween, so I wrote Dracula "step into my house" speech on cardboard and popped it on the gate. I got my garden statues lined up with "don't blink" signs beside them and the doctors final speech at the door with good luck at the end. After a few visits I opened the door to an Asian teenage girl, she looked petrified, she said she didn't know what to expect and rated it the best house in the street! I must recreate that one day 😉

This episode isn't as strong on repeat viewings because of its reliance on jumpscares and other shocks for the viewer. That doesn't make it a bad episode, but for me it does mean it's not as great as some rate it. There will be other episodes written by Moffat that I think hold up or even *improve* with repeat viewings, so I'd personally rate those higher. All that said, "Blink" is phenomenal on a first viewing. Old Billy was played by the groundbreaking African-British actor Louis Mahoney, who sadly passed away a few years ago. His scenes were recorded after those with young Billy, and the younger actor had to redub his lines to match Mahoney's accent. From memory, there's one line they missed, possibly because the younger Billy wasn't on screen when he was speaking, so his accent briefly changes! Great reaction, chaps, and thank you once again. 😀 Edited to add: I think I'm right in saying that Steven Moffat felt he owed RTD an episode for some reason, and he chose this slot as a challenge because it had to use the two leads as little as possible and also had a much smaller budget (to free up money for the finale).

Love Dr Who, and this particular episode, as well as your review ❤😊. The writer deservedly won BBC tv awards. Curiously, I avoid most horror movies too. They tend to give me nightmares. Hitchock made a lot of fab, scary thrillers I've watched though, not specifically horror movies, but the kind some of us watch through our fingers. Christopher Nolan probably loves this episode, since the passage of time is integral to his movies. I was about six years old when Dr Who first came on the tele. Spent most of the time behind the sofa, afraid the Daleks would come and get me. I'm 66 now and still can't watch the Daleks without being scared. Ludicrous when you consider they looked like refuse bins with a sink plunger stuck to their foreheads, when I was little. Yet the fear persists. I think it's their voices. 'Exterminate .... Exterminate' gets me every time 😱 😂.

9.8, not just the highest rated episode but also one of the highest rated things on all of IMdB. How did I not see that before?

You made it to one of the best! Moffat is amazing when he puts his mind to it. Girl in the Fireplace is another great one by him. He has what many argue is the GOAT episode in Series 9 too he wrote, and it won't hit you in the Feels, it will destroy your Feels! SO much still to look forward to. I love Doctor WHO and love these reactions!! Next 3 all run together for the finale of S3, can't wait! Don't Blink!

Y'know, "life is short and you are hot" is such a smooth line that would *never* work for me in a million years 😂 I guess it only works for hot cops in a TV show 😂

Excellent episode! The weeping angels are by far the best bad guys. They are way scarier than the daleks or cybermen or any other DW villain!

This episode was filmed before Carey Mulligan's movie career took off; she would have made a fantastic companion - definitely an opportunity missed.

They didn't have money for CGI for the angels so it was done with practical effects which makes it all the more impressive. The angels were just people dressed up.

@nupefromdaville told you that a heart monitor would be needed at some point in this season.
