Unknown dates

 * The discovery of a bizarre message encoded as an Easter Egg on 17 different DVD releases causes a flurry of interest on the Internet due to the cryptic nature of the message. The message, which appears to have been shot on film many years earlier, depicts a man with glasses conducting what appears to be a one-sided conversation with an unknown person, and he is occasionally interrupted by a young black woman. Among those interested in the message is London video store employee Larry Nightingale. One of the cryptic statements made, "The angels have the phone box", is made into a T-shirt design. Larry Nightingale begins intensively studying the message, much to the annoyance of his sister, Kathy Nightingale. (DW: Blink)
 * The Doctor and Martha Jones, following information provided to them by Sally Sparrow, investigate the Wester Drumlins estate near London, where by choice or accident they are touched by the Weeping Angels and transported to 1969; the TARDIS remains behind and is later taken into custody by London police. (DW: Blink; that this occurs in the same year as the events of Blink is conjecture, given that the Angels appear to only be recently interested in the TARDIS and Billy Shipton gives no indication that it's been in custody for long.)
 * Sally Sparrow receives a bizarre message addressed to her from someone called the Doctor in 1969 while investigating an old house called Wester Drumlins near London. Sparrow learns of the Weeping Angels and during the course of the adventure her friend Kathy Nightingale is transported back to 1920, and a policeman named Billy Shipton is sent back to 1969. Sparrow encounters an elderly Shipton, who dies soon after revealing that he is responsible for adding a cryptic message from the Doctor to a number of DVDs, and the Easter Egg mystery is solved when Sally realizes the one-sided conversation is from the Doctor and directed at her. Ultimately, Sparrow stops the Weeping Angels from capturing the TARDIS and with the help of Larry Nightingale sends the vessel back to 1969. After this event, Sally and Larry take over the ownership of the DVD rental store where Larry works, turning it into a bookstore, but Sally remains distant from Larry as she awaits the final resolution of her involvement with the time-travelling Doctor.
