At time of writing, this episode's IMDb rating is 9.8/10 but in my opinion that rating is too low. This episode alone is proof that Steven Moffat is the best thing to happen to Doctor Who since it returned.
The plot sees a young woman, Sally Sparrow, receive some cryptic messages in the form of DVD easter eggs from The Tenth Doctor warning her about the mysterious Weeping Angels which are by far the creepiest monsters Doctor Who has ever introduced the world to. They are statues that will send you back in time so that you die in the present and give them the time energy they need to survive, but there's a twist in that they cannot move if they are being observed.
The Doctor and his current companion Martha Jones are barely in this episode, but it still feels like a proper Doctor Who episode. The supporting cast are really the main cast and they're all tremendous throughout.
This episode does nothing wrong from start to finish and if you only have time for one episode to use to win over a non-fan I suggest you make it this one. 10/10
