Saddest TV moment ever

Re: Saddest TV moment ever

Never cried at films or events myself, but I remember feeling super terrible when I watched the film Castaway with Tom Hanks. To date it's the most miserable hour or so of film I've seen, even beating out The Road. I felt bad watching The Road, but that was a more miserable feeling compared to the Castaway ones which felt like it was crushing my insides.

it makes no difference to me if its fictional or not mate.
its just how things affect me i cant stop it or help it.

One of the most poignaant moments of TV has to be the final scenes in Blackadder Goes Forth. Beautifully filmed and the music just caught the moment . Still brings tears to my eyes

An old one I watch occasionally is during the 1985 Live Aid concert. David Bowie had just finished his set and introduced a video clip of what was happening in Africa, again with beautfiul music in the background. Would bring tars to a glass eye

Never cried, never will.

These people are fictional, for heavens sake. Cry for the young lads coming through Wootton Bassett, not b*oody Yoda.

i actually thought how amy left dr who was very sad.
i must admit i shed a few tears.

bit of a big softie myself.

The ninth Doctor's final scene at the end of Parting of the Ways. It was the end of the first series of Doctor Who for nearly fifteen years, Christopher Eccleston was amazing as the Doctor and I loved him and the fact he was dying from saving his best friend was just a briliiant way to go. I cried right through the Confidential that followed. I was 32 as well at the time. A big softy I am

Byker Grove (Ant & Dec & Donna Air) starred in this. An episode when P.J (Ant) is blinded by a paintballing accident. It was heartbreaking to watch :cry:

Re: Saddest TV moment ever

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.

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.

Re: Saddest TV moment ever

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.

Yes I was going to say Tommy Cooper, I remember that night, horrible.
