Saddest TV moment ever

Re: Saddest TV moment ever

My Nan was watching that show KouKou, she said she thought it was part of the act until the curtains closed/came down

Whats KouKou?

I did find Mark Fowler leaving EastEnders really sad, when his Mum Pauline said 'but your my baby' and was crying (as he'd contracted full blown AIDS and wanted to die away from his family) was really sad. My Mum was watching it with me and we really were in tears.

Re: Saddest TV moment ever

I recall Helen's last scenes/episode on Neighbours well - it was really sad/the end of an era. It was similar with Jim Robinson too when he died in the programme. Both Alan and the actress who played Helen - Anne I think her name was were exellent in their Neighbours roles and the sadness was noted with the void their characters left too in many a way I think.

As a Grange Hill fan I also recall taht Judi Jefferies in 1999 (Series 21) falling to the ground, trying to escape a fire and the evil Sean and still recalling how sad it was even now. It was even more sad and still gives me a shiver that the greatly talented late Laura Sadler then fell to her death in real life 4 years later in 2003. I hope that it is ok to add this, it is just so too-close comfort for me with real life mirrowing TV and really gives me a shiver thinking about how both events were similar. I will never forget the day I heard this sad news that Laura had passed away upon hearing the news on a Radio in a shop or where I was.

It has to be when Nana is dying in the Royle Family and everyone takes a turn of saying goodbye. Lizzy Smith totally awesome, should be Dame Liz, no doubt.

At the end of 'The Snowman' when he melts. It still puts a lump in my throat.

The awkwardness in LesDennis who knew Cooper was probably dying right behind him was the worst part of it. I suppose cutting to a cartoon as they used to do back then would have been even more insensitive.

And then a few weeks later Eric Morecambe died after doing a one man show at the Roses Theatre in Tewkesbury. In the show he reminisced about his early days and at one point spoke of Tommy Cooper's death saying that he wouldn't want to die on stage. After clowning around with the band and doing six curtain calls, Eric collapsed backstage from a fatal heart attack and died in hospital several hours later.

It's the only episode of the Royle Family that I haven't seen,
My Mum told me that it would upset me too much, so i've avoided it (even though I absolutely love the series)
Maybe i'll watch it one day when i'm feeling brave.

Laura Sadler then fell to her death

I remember her from Grange Hill & subsequently Holby City, she was a very talented & likable actress who could have gone on to greatness, a sad loss.
