While David Tennant wasn’t in this episode much, when he did appear it had an impact. As a prerecorded Doctor offers advice to Sally Sparrow (Carey Mulligan), the Weeping Angels approach in a truly frightening scene – that also manages to fit in the oft-repeated “wibbly wobbly timey wimey” description for complicated temporal disturbances. Is it any wonder the episode was voted RadioTimes.com readers’ favourite?

It’s safe to say no other incarnations of the Doctor have been quite so reluctant to regenerate as the Tenth, but in this downbeat conversation with Wilfred Mott (Bernard Cribbins) he explains why. Low-key and genuinely sad, the scene showcases the Tenth Doctor’s love of life and perfectly builds up to the eventual traumatic regeneration.
