Doctor Who: Blink Review

Despite David Tennant and Freema Agyeman not being in it very much, Blink is certainly one of the most popular Doctor Who stories ever. Why is it so popular, you might ask? Well let's review it and find out!

First off, details! This story was written by now-showrunner Steven Moffat, directed by Hettie MacDonald, the script was edited by Helen Raynor, it was produced by Phil Collinson and the executive producers were Russel T Davies and Julie Gardner. It is 45 minutes long and was first broadcast on 9th June 2007 as the tenth episode of Doctor Who series 3.

The story starts off on quite a scary note - something that carries on throughout the episode. Sally Sparrow, who is in this episode more than The Doctor himself soon notices a load of TV's with the same man (The Doctor) telling her not to blink whatever she does. A little later, we learn of the Weeping Angels - aliens that send people back in time to make you relive your life if you blink near one. Overall, it's a very scary episode and not many others are anywhere near as scary as this! The Weeping Angels are a great idea and I'm so glad that they've since become mainstream Doctor Who monsters.

This is a brilliant episode, and it's one of the many reasons that Series 3 is my favourite Doctor Who series from after 2005. It's an extremely strong episode and I highly recommend it.

10/10!

Seriously, Moffat, we need more episodes as good as this! :)
