Did SCP-173 rip off this premise?

The SCP page itself was created on 2008-07-25, while the episode aired on 2007-06-09, so it looks like the BBC was more like a year prior.

I think it's a pretty old idea (things which you can't look at, or which can't look at you, are certainly _very_ old mythological ideas), but... maybe? SCP showed up at about the same time as the first weeping angels Dr Who episodes.
