Hark! The Weeping Angels Sing (episode): Difference between revisions

Help

Professor Flemyng, hates Christmas. She’s always spends it in some fancy hotel with her detestable, ungrateful family who’d rather spend their time shouting at each other, than giving a second glance at her. Like usual, she decides to escape the action and she goes on a late-night stroll through the dark snowy depths of the city. However, she must be going mad this year, as she could have sworn she just saw a statue move. And when a strange old man, walks past, he tries to warn her off, and from that moment on she gets entangled in an adventure she’ll never forget.
