Synopsis

"The past is like a foreign country. Nice to visit, but you really wouldn't want to live there."

In 2003, Rebecca Whitaker died in a road accident. Her husband Mark is still grieving. He receives a battered envelope, posted eight years ago, containing a set of instructions with a simple message: "You can save her."

As Mark is given the chance to save Rebecca, it's up to the Doctor, Amy and Rory to save the whole world. Because this time the Weeping Angels are using Mark himself as a weapon to change history.

Touched by an Angel is a deliciously tragic story.

Mark is an empathetic character, as we see him throughout his life, we begin to understand what Rebecca meant to him, which makes this story all the more tragic, as the reader understands that he will not be able to save Rebecca, but are nonetheless rooting for him, as most of us would certainly attempt to save someone we loved.

The time travel is done well, and the entire premise of going back in time to make sure your life turns out correctly is a fascinating concept.

I hope that we can eventually see an Angel story of this calibre on TV one day
