Story Notes
- This is, in truth, the third appearance of the Weeping Angels if one counts non-TV appearances; they have previously featured in DW: Blink and in Captain Jack's Monster Files (See WC: A Ghost Story for Christmas)
- Steven Moffat stated in a TalkTalk interview that his son - while watching the episode - said 15 minutes through the episode: "Dad, that is the single most scariest thing I've ever seen in my life!"
- When teasing the new series, one of the things Moffat mentioned was "the Doctor's mistake in the maze of the dead" - no doubt a reference to this episode. [8]
- There are lots of clips of this episode in the trailers for Series 5. These include
- A group of Angels not Weeping, not Screaming, just putting their hands in the air.
- Some Angels capturing River Song and the Clerics
- An Angel in a vault with Amy looking at it through a T.V. moniter - in Doctor Who Magazine 418 including a preview of this episode, the synopsis states the Angel is in the Byzantium Spaceship and is being stored in the vault, but escapes. How the other Angels come along is unknown.
- A Single Angel screaming.
- This episode will be set in the Alfava Metraxis (See Radio Times 3-9 April)
- A clip for the episode heavily indicates that this episode will not chroniclce River Song's first meeting with the Doctor (from her perspective), as she knows, interestignly, how the pilot the TARDIS herself and claims that he "leaves the breaks on" (causing the materialising noise) and talks about him as if they have traveled together before.

Rumours
- People have said that Sally Sparrow from the episode Blink will make a come-back, but this has not yet been revealed.[source needed]
- Rory's presence in Flesh and Stone may indicate that part of this two-parter is set on 21st century Earth, which would mean that such a return is possible.
- River Song's presence in this episode may indicate that it is set in the 51st century, but this is not certain, as it is unknown precisely where in the timeline River Song comes from.
- Being a two-parter, there might not be one of The Cracks in this episode, as they tend to appear in the final scene.
- The Doctor will meet Father Octavian at Amy and Rory's wedding. Octavian will be a able to see the future like Carmen and foreseen the Doctor's showdown with the Weeping Angels and send him after them.

Continuity
