"Blink" was an episode of Doctor Who. It was implied to feature the Weeping Angels and an unspecified regeneration of the Doctor, mirroring the experiences of the Tenth Doctor, Martha Jones, and Sally Sparrow. It was described to Belinda Chandra, who had broken through the fourth wall with the Fifteenth Doctor, as "the story where you're not allowed to blink." Belinda sarcastically replied that it sounded like an epic.
Much to the Doctor's annoyance, given that he wasn't front-and-centre in helping Sally, "Blink" was the favourite episode of Lizzie, Robyn, and Hassan, three Doctor Who fans created by Lux Imperator to give him and Belinda a hassle. They refused to be convinced otherwise, despite him offering further exciting adventures. (TV: Lux [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 15 (BBC One and Disney+, 2025).)
Notes[]
- The Doctor's observation that he was barely there when helping Sally nods to the fact that the real-world "Blink" is a Doctor-lite episode.
- Lizzie, Robyn, and Hassan's insistence that "Blink" is the best episode of Doctor Who is similar to the appreciation received by the real-world episode.
