Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn the disc of the original DVD release of Series 3 with "Blink" in it (disc 4) there is an Easter Egg on page 2 of scene selection of "Blink". It has the Doctor's Easter egg, unedited. To access it, you have to highlight "Blink" in the page and select it. Unlike other bonus scenes and deleted footage, the Easter egg remains "filmized" rather than being rendered on video, in keeping with it supposedly having been filmed in 1969.
- GoofsIn the entire episode the weeping angels have grey eyes. Just before Sally gets out of the circle, you can see the actual eyes of the actor who plays a weeping angel.
- Quotes
The Doctor: People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but *actually* from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint - it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly... time-y wimey... stuff.

Featured review
"Don't Blink!"
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
