Around this time the discovery of a bizarre message encoded as Easter eggs on seventeen different DVD releases caused a flurry of interest on the internet due to the message's cryptic nature. The message, which appeared to have been shot on film many years earlier, depicted a man with glasses conducting what appeared to be a one-sided conversation with an unknown person; he was occasionally interrupted by a young woman. Among those interested in the message was London video store employee Larry Nightingale. He began intensively studying the message, much to the annoyance of his sister, Kathy Nightingale. The Tenth Doctor and Martha Jones, following information provided to them by Sally Sparrow, investigated the Wester Drumlins estate near London, where by choice or accident they were touched by the Weeping Angels and transported to 1969; the TARDIS remained behind and was later taken into custody by London police. Sally received a bizarre message addressed to her from the Doctor in 1969 while investigating Wester Drumlins. Sally learnt of the Weeping Angels, her friend Kathy Nightingale was transported back to 1920 and a policeman named Billy Shipton was sent back to 1969. Sally encountered an elderly Shipton, who died soon after revealing he was responsible for adding the cryptic message from the Doctor to a number of DVDs. The Easter egg mystery was solved when Sally realised the one-sided conversation was from the Doctor and directed at her. Ultimately, Sally stopped the Weeping Angels from capturing the Doctor's TARDIS and with the help of Larry Nightingale, sent the vessel back to 1969. After this Sally and Larry took over the DVD rental store where Larry worked, turning it into a bookstore, but Sally remained distant from Larry as she awaited the final resolution of her involvement with the time-travelling Doctor.
