There were one or two more episodes featuring the Weeping Angels, one of my favorite Dr Who monsters.

I can't say I recall ever reading any sci-fi or fantasy with angels, per se... Brightness Falls from the Air by James Tiptree Jr had insect-like aliens that were so beautiful characters in the novel compared them to angels. It's probably been twenty years since I've read A Plague of Angels by Sheri S Tepper... I seem to recall some monsters being referred to as "angels", but they were nothing like the angels of Judeo-Christian origin.
