WPC Monaghan was a police officer in London in 1969. That year, she was sent to apprehend a stranger seen vandalizing Wester Drumlins, a mansion with a reputation for odd happenings. (PROSE: The Very Real Mystery of Wester Drumlins [+]Loading...["The Very Real Mystery of Wester Drumlins (short story)"]) The individual in question was the Tenth Doctor, who was leaving a message for Sally Sparrow to find in the 2000s,[nb 1] to resolve his stranding in 1969 by the Weeping Angels who lurked at Wester Drumlins. (TV: Blink [+]Loading...["Blink (TV story)"]) Monaghan successfully apprehended the Doctor, but he took her for dinner and drinks in Fitzrovia. The incident was recorded in a police log.
In 2021, Rani Chandra wrote an article for the Into The Unknown blog about Wester Drumlins, where she recounted the tale about Monaghan, calling it "extraordinary". (PROSE: The Very Real Mystery of Wester Drumlins [+]Loading...["The Very Real Mystery of Wester Drumlins (short story)"])
Footnotes
- ↑ 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 later on regarding both Kathy's disappearance and the Red Hatching. In Angels, Abby McPhail identifies 2008 as the year of Kathy's disappearance, which suggests 2009 as the year of the Red Hatching. In Salvation, the Thirteenth Doctor recognises the Red Hatching as the cause of death of Andy Proctor, who was last seen by his daughter Cleo "nearly 20 years" before 2022 according to Recruits.
