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]]''.}} The [[German patient (The Weeping Angels of Mons)|German patient]] in [[St Michel]] keeps shouting the same advice the Doctor gave [[Sally Sparrow (Blink)|Sally Sparrow]] then, "Don't blink!"
