Statues have always been a little creepy when you think about it. The absolute rigidity of something that is meant to look like a living creature, the lifeless eyes that still seem to somehow be looking at you, the ability to move faster than you can believe the second you close your eyes.

This week, we take a listener request and examine one of the most popular villains in Doctor Who today: the Weeping Angels. Having only been predominantly featured in three stories over the span of four episodes, these creepy seraphim hold top fan rank with old favorites like Daleks and Cybermen. So sit back and relax, but don’t close your eyes, as we discuss these lonely assassins.
