A very good story but also one I was sadly disappointed with given the title, I thought we were in for the greatest guest appearance in Doctor Who history! I can picture it now; the Doctor, Leela and Margaret are surrounded by Weeping Angels, no chance of escape, all hope is lost and then...

*Glass shatters*

Stone Cold: DAH-DUH DAH-DUH DAH-DUH! WHAT!

DAH-DUH DAH-DUH DAH-DUH! OH HELL YEAH!

DAH-DUH DAH-DUH DAH-DUH! WHAT!

And let's throw in good ol' JR too

JR: THE RATTLESNAKE IS BACK! STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN IS STRIKING ANY WEEPING ANGEL THAT BAH GAWD MOVES!!!!! A STUNNER!!.....ANOTHER STUNNER!! AUSTIN! STONE COLD! STONE COLD! STOMPING A ROCK HOLE AND STUNNERS!!!

And then the episode ends with Austin sharing a beer with the Doctor.....before giving him the stunner!...................yes of course that was a reasonable prediction!

This is part of a series of reviews of Doctor Who in chronological timeline order.

Previous Story: The Friendly Invasion

It's honestly shocking how well weeping angels work on audio considering how visual they seem as villains, nonetheless, they are quite entertaining here. I think having newer enemies like the angels appear in a classic Doctor's regular stories (I know about classic doctors, new monsters) really helps tie together all of Doctor Who and make it feel like one long story.

This story doesn't really add anything new to the angels, and it's left quite vague whether shooting it to bits definitively kills it. Luckily, the unique setting and solid character work make up for it, I think 2 companions is a much more enjoyable dynamic than just the one.

It's an interesting story in that it sort of has a "happy" ending to it, but that's almost always an element to weeping angel stories in some way.

I was hoping for a bit more horror with this one, but most of the angel's attacks have already happened by the time we arrive in the story.
