On 4 April 1938, in New York City, Rory Williams was sent back in time by the Weeping Angels from 2012. Later, baby Weeping Angels displaced him in space to Winter Quay, a "battery farm" for humans the Angels could send back in time. Seeing an older Rory die in one of Winter Quay's rooms that day, Rory and his wife, Amy, created a temporal paradox by jumping off Winter Quay's roof, undoing the older Rory's death and destroying the hotel. Amy, Rory, their son-in-law, the Eleventh Doctor, and their daughter, River Song, were returned to 2012. (TV: The Angels Take Manhattan)
On Easter Sunday, 4 April 2009, Lady Christina de Souza stole the Cup of Athelstan from the International Gallery and made her getaway on a number 200 London bus, only to be unexpectedly transported to the planet of San Helios, by means of a wormhole, in the company of the Tenth Doctor. Eventually, the Doctor flew the damaged bus back through the wormhole, and Christina made her escape from the police on the now-flying bus. (TV: Planet of the Dead)
