Julia Hardwick

Julia Hardwick was a woman in her mid-20s living in 21st century England (possibly Hull). At some point in the early 21st century, she was exploring her attic when she encountered a package labelled "Grandma" which contained photographs and newspaper clippings. Among the photographs were images of a woman who looked exactly like Julia, and a message warning her of the Weeping Angels. One of the newspaper clippings, dated 28th June 1887 mentioned a woman by her same name who was claiming to be from the future.

Later, Julia encountered a gravestone in a cemetary for a Julia Baker: born 1987, died 1949.

Before she was able to solve this mystery, she came in contact with a Weeping Angel and was transported back in time to 1887. (WC: A Ghost Story for Christmas)

Behind the scenes

 * Julia's last name comes from a newspaper clipping seen on screen.
 * A Ghost Story for Christmas was a made-for-Internet "webisode" produced for the 2009 Doctor Who Adventure Calendar. Narrated by John Barrowman (in character as Jack Harkness), the mini-episode described the origin and abilities of the Weeping Angels, and included flashbacks to the episode DW: Blink in which the creates first appeared.
 * According to the newspaper clipping, Julia is said to be from Hull. Coincidentally this is also where Kathy Nightingale ends up when she is transported back to 1920 in Blink.
