According to a report by Radio Times, Steven Moffat has said in a statement that he hated the kast scene very much that he hurriedly sent in a new ending even before a note on the older one was received. He also added no one has read this version for many years. He continued that hardly anyone even has seen this version. 

The episode was supposed to be titled as Sally Sparrow and The Weeping Angel. The word Blink was only mentioned a couple of times in the draft. Moffat changes the title of the episode later. The original draft also had scripted a more uncertain future of Sally and Larry. Because it was implied that there were chances that Sally could end up with a woman. Read the original script here.
