Doctor Who: 12 Big Moments When Moffat Delivered The Chills

5. The Angel In The TV Screen - The Time Of Angels

A pure homage to the Ring and an effective way of proving that the Weeping Angels could be scary yet again after their debut appearance in Blink. A story Moffat called the Aliens to Blink's Alien, it is not the whole host of Angels hunting the Doctor and his companions through the wrecked ship that proves to be the most thrilling moment. Nor the scene when he realises all the statues in the catacombs are not actually statues - as chilling as that is. The most terrifying moment occurs early on when Amy encounters the Weeping Angel on the TV screen. In some ways, it's the most frightening Weeping Angel moment Moffat has done. The visual recording starts to react to Amy and suddenly we realise that she isn't as safe as we assume. The Angel begins to emerge from the TV creeping towards Amy, wide-eyed and terrified. It has us holding our breath and led the brilliant twist of the Angel possessing Amy as the story progressed. It was the one instance where the Angel wasn't just hiding in the shadows. No longer was it just the statues in the street we had to be afraid of. It was the ones on TV too!
