PREDICTED BROADCAST: 24/04/2010, 01/05/2010
The fourth and fifth episodes of the upcoming series were written by Steven Moffat, and directed by Adam Smith. Smith would return in Block 3 of filming to complete the Eleventh Doctor’s first episode, ‘The Eleventh Hour’. These episodes form the first two-part story of Series 5, and have been officialy confirmed today as ‘The Time of Angels’ and ‘Flesh and Stone’.
As the titles suggest, the Weeping Angels are returning in these episodes. However, Steven Moffat has reported that the previous time they appeared they were just scavengers, and this time they’re at their full power. Even keeping your eyes open can’t save you this time!
As well as the Angels returning, there is also the popular character of River Song making an appearance in these episodes, as portrayed by British actress Alex Kingston, best known for her role of Dr. Elizabeth Corday in ‘E.R.’ Kingston last appeared alongside David Tennant’s Doctor in Series 4, and was said to have some sort of special connection with him. As well as the Weeping Angels stories, she will appear again in the finale for Series 5.
Things to look out for:
• A holographic Weeping Angel with its eyes wide open.
• River Song falling on top of the Doctor in the TARDIS.
• The crash of the Byzantium, as mentioned in Silence in the Library.
• A group of soldiers emerging from the wreck, dressed in camouflage.
• River Song holding electronic apparatus above her head in a threatening manner.
