Show: Doctor Who
Episode: 3x10 Blink
Ranking: #2 Episode Of All Time So Far
How do I even begin to describe how absolutely brilliant this episode is?
Maybe first off with the cast which includes: David Tennant (goes without saying), Carey Mulligan (who is superb in anything she is in), Michael Obiora (amazing in Hotel Babylon) and Finlay Robertson (from Persusion- one of my favourite Austins).
This episode is also brilliant because you can watch it as a stand alone without needing to watch any other Doctor Who episodes (but you should watch it anyway because it is an amazing show). It contains also one of the greatest "monsters" that Doctor Who has ever shown known as the Weeping Angels who are so much more terrifying than the name probably suggests.
Essentially they appear to be normal angel statues but when you aren't looking or blink they come for you and if they get you they send you to a random period in time, which, isn't the worse fate but it's not ideal.
It also manages to mix in a little romance in with all the horror of the situation with a wonderfully cheeky cameo from Michael Obiora.
"Because life is short and you are hot"
And we get this wonderful scene from The Doctor:
Just trust me, this is not an episode to miss. You will certainly thank me for it!
