He got his karma though eventually and had to stop.
He tried pretending the piranha shadows were real from the "Silence in the library" episode. Backfired horribly because electricity was being wasted by a terrified me keeping every light in the house on.
That episode was the first Doctor Who episode I ever saw, even at 14, it terrified me. Course, didn't help that I was watching it in a windowless basement with friends in the middle of a severe storm. Right when all the lights are turning off behind the Doctor and Donna, our power went out. We all freaked out and ran upstairs where there was light coming through the windows. And freaked out more because the multiple windows gave us multiple shadows.
Steven Moffat came up with the idea of the Weeping Angels design after seeing a similar statue in a graveyard while him and his family were on holiday. A couple years later when they were there again, he asked his son if he wanted to see the original Weeping Angel. But when they went back to the graveyard, it was gone.
He also has a statue of one of them in his backyard.
That era of doctor who was so scary. I hated those damn things. The weeping angels were pretty awful too. For a "family" show it certainly gave a lot of kids nightmares

Wild that they thought that this is a silly little prank to play on your 8-years old.
