Speaking of easy targets, sleeping humans must be the Weeping Angel equivalent of fast food. They don't have to worry about their victim beating them in a staring contest, or holding up a mirror to lock them in place. They can just waltz right up to their unconscious and defenceless prey, and give them a quick zap.

And apparently, they do this quite a lot. Early in the commentary, Gold asks if Angels like to go after sleeping humans, and Moffat - in a somewhat tongue-in-cheek fashion, but hey, that's just how he talks - confirms that they "frequently" do.

The writer also added that missing people are "people who slept in the vicinity of a Weeping Angel". Thanks for the nightmares Moffat!

Danny has been with WhatCulture for over ten years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
