Goofs:
Continuity: Sally Sparrow is in the house, she sees a key hanging from the angel's hand and goes forward to take it. First we see the front shot and the string is looped around the angel's hand. Cut to side shot and the string is hanging with no loop. Front shot again and the loop is back. Side shot where she actually takes the key and no loop. The position of the string may have been altered during shooting as having Sally unravelling the string to get the key would have taken several seconds and she really wanted to be out of the house as fast as possible.

In an episode which was arguably the best of the new Doctor Who episodes yet, the Doctor has to help a young woman called Sally Sparrow, whose life is endangered by an unlikely enemy...despite the fact that he is lost in time.
In an episode which may seem utterly confusing at first, it picks up the pace dramatically and with a multitude of clues, Sally Sparrow is forced to work out the mystery of the Weeping Angels with the help of her best friend Kathy Nightingale and her brother before it is too late.
Teeming with references to other time-travel classics such as "Back To The Future", this is a phenomenally written episode where everything takes time to come together but when it all comes together there are shocks and horror in equal measure.
An interesting feature of this episode is its similarity to the Second Series episode "Love and Monsters", because The Doctor is hardly in the episode, yet the episode is so superbly written that it doesn't really seem to matter.
This episode will make any fans beg for answers at several points in the episode due to the confusing way in which the episode is put together, but don't worry, because everything is explained clearly by the end of the episode and the result is immensely pleasing episode.
10/10
