Re bad science in ToA/FaS - I said exactly the same thing somewhere else. That bit really annoyed me. Also, I realise that it was probably there just so that the audience could see what was going on, but there was a lot of ambient light in the Maze of Death thingy, and so the Angels could see each other and, therefore, should have been stoned.

Another niggle... when the Angels got sucked away Dalek-fashion into the Crack, why did they have solid bases like chess pieces? They only turn to stone (only!), they don't become carved-statues-with-frocks so unless they glide (again, Dalek-like) why don't they have feet under their frocks?

I'm really enjoying Matt Smith as the Doc, and the banter makes me smile :D

Aw, did you miss out on seeing Weeping Angel nadgers?

Never heard feet called "nadgers" before :P

Can't imagine that that would be much fun - always having to shag in pitch dark, lest one's partner's tackle seizes up :(

They call Nadgers feet all the time in the bible though.

John 12:3 Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the nadgers of Jesus, and wiped his nadgers with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.

Daniel 2:33 His legs of iron, his nadgers part of iron and part of clay.

I like it better this way :)

Some of them did have feet, I believe. I only rewatched it the other night and I'm sure that's one of the things I checked.
