Malcolm Wainwright: Difference between revisions

Malcolm delivered a letter from his deceased grandmother, which she had written on [[7 February]] [[1987]], to [[Sally Sparrow]] in the [[2000s]].<ref>While ''Blink'' itself uncontroversially sets its main setting in [[2007]] and "twenty minutes to [[Red Hatching]]" a year later in [[2008]]—as [[Kathy Nightingale]]'s letter describes taking "one breath in 2007 and the next in [[1920]]", and the [[Tenth Doctor]]'s side of his conversation with [[Sally Sparrow]] in [[1969]] happens 38 years before Sally says hers—these are contradicted by heavily conflicting dates in the ''[[Redacted (audio series)|Redacted]]'' audio series later on regarding both Kathy's disappearance and the Red Hatching. In ''[[Angels (audio story)|Angels]]'', [[Abby McPhail]] identifies 2008 as the year of Kathy's disappearance, which suggests [[2009]] as the year of the Red Hatching. In ''[[Salvation (audio story)|Salvation]]'', the [[Thirteenth Doctor]] recognises the Red Hatching as the cause of death of [[Andy Proctor]], who was last seen by his daughter [[Cleo Proctor|Cleo]] "nearly 20 years" before [[2022]] according to ''[[Recruits (audio story)|Recruits]]''.</ref> The letter explained that Kathy had been sent back in time to Hull on [[5 December]] [[1920]] by a [[Weeping Angel]]. The Kathy in the present day was secretly witness to the delivery before she disappeared, and so knew when and where to send her grandson to deliver the letter.
