10 Times The Doctor Who Writers Must've Been High

8. Angels Take Manhattan - The Statue Of Liberty

New York is the city that never sleeps. There are people that know nothing else about New York other than how its residents never slip into the arms of Morpheus. Frank Sinatra even sung about it, that's how well known it is. So one could be forgiven for thinking that, in a city where everyone, assumedly, keeps their eyes open at one point or another, that if one of their national monuments moved, someone would notice. Apparently not. The revealing of the Statue of Liberty to be a Weeping Angel, one of the scariest Doctor Who monsters that can only move when it is not being looked at, was one that can only be explained by a drug induced competition of "Who can name the stupidest statue we could move". Almost certainly the Washington Monument and Mount Rushmore were close behind. For more evidence that this was a stupid, drug fuelled decision, there was already a team of people that moved the Statue of Liberty. They were the Ghostbusters, and history remembers that it caused a pretty big stir to the inhabitants because it was loud, 93 meters tall and weighing over 200 tons. When a size 879 foot is tramping through the city, angel or not, it€™s going to be noticed.
