10 Most Paused Doctor Who Moments Ever

10. The Moving Angels (Blink)

The Weeping Angels cannot move if they're being observed. This applies to both the characters in the scene, as well as us, the viewers: if a character or an audience member can see an Angel, then that Angel cannot move.

But those stone ninjas are lightning quick, and as soon as they're blocked from view, they can change positions, and creepily, this means that there are certain moments where you might notice that they've moved after an obstacle passes in front of them.

One of the coolest examples of this is in the Angels' debut episode, Blink. Check out the above image of protagonist Sally Sparrow, and note the positions of the two Angels behind her - they both have their hands away from their faces.

But as Sally stands up, she blocks these Angels from view, giving them a split-second window of opportunity in which to move. And they take it.

Once the Angels are visible again, you can see that their hands are now covering their faces. Bear in mind that there are no cuts here - Sally stands up and blocks the Angels, and when she's out of the way, they've moved their hands. It's all one shot, and it's really spooky.

Because it happens in the background, this isn't something that's immediately obvious, and it's one of those moments where you'll say to yourself "wait a second... did those Angels just move?" a question that the pause button will help you answer.
