That's the same way Jimmy Saville ended TOTP.

Ballad of Ballard Berkley

Spell his surname properly, for fuck's sake. Have some respect.

Sin Agog

That episode of Fresh Prince where we briefly see Will's dad, before he buggers off again, had a really good Will Smith improv line: "How come he don't want me anymore, Uncle Phil?"

Maybe in Bagpuss when Professor Yaffle loosens up and dances with the ballerina.

And then a bunch've shamelessly sentimental anime series I'm probably too old to be watching.  I do like a good cry, though.  It leaves you with the opposite feeling to a good wank.

Speak for yourself.

It doesn't take much to make me cry, my tear ducts are on permanent alert, but something that really moved me last year was watching Iain Lee - a man who has depression and anxiety - doing this on I'm A Celebrity...

The Vaudeville one (can't remember the name) had me very, very close.

Yes, and I remember also being tearful watching the one before when the tea making guy is too late to give them the goodbye presents as their ship leaves for Blighty.

Thank you so much for sharing that. I haven't seen it since it first went out*, but it's stayed with me ever since.

*Or during a late '80s repeat - either way, I was just a kid.

The one where the cop is being racist towards Carlton but because he's lived in his privileged bubble he simply can't process it is grim as well.

Surely I must have watched that before, but after 35 years, no memory at all. Beautiful stuff. Even with the un-PC "You'll still look like a poof" line. Also spotted Bill Pertwee from Dad's Army in the clothes store.

Amazed how everyone talking about Doctor who hasn't mention "Father's Day" yet. Even thinking about it makes me a bit teary.

OMG, I just remembered the Hologram scene in "The Parting of the Ways"!

Also "The Husbands of River Song" leaves a lump in my throat.

EDIT: The ending of "The Girl in the Fireplace" and Scooti's Death in "The Impossible Planet".

There's so many that the thread could have easily turned into just Who.

Jo's departure in 'The Green Death' is a cracker from the older series. The way Pertwee slinks away and the realisation in her face when she realises

The cast weren't told what he was going to say, so their shock is genuine.

That bit in Dr Who when Van Gogh was looking at people in the present day looking at his paintings.

Blindwave just reacted to that episode recently and they were a mess.

Scenes that have at some point caused severe emotional reactions

Bart hiding in the bath after being bullied and then breaking down to Homer

Dwight's resignation in The Office

Michael being the only person to attend Pam's art showing in The Office

Warren confronting Delilah about her eating disorder in This Life

Headstrong Fiona breaking down caused by the arrival of her mother in Shameless US

Fiona breaking down after giving her mother the benefit of the doubt only for it to blow up in her face in Shameless US

Fiona and Steve cleaning up the blood in the kitchen after her mother's attempted suicide. Shameless US.

Ken telling Eddie that he and the locals have raised money to pay off his phone bill in Early Doors.

This episode of Emmerdale. Some fantastic acting on show. Even Jenna Coleman isn't bad.

They weren't expecting it at all. Really enjoying their Who reactions.

That's the moment that made me realise what a superb show it is. Especially when he sits down and tells Joan and everyone in the bar looks over and smiles and gives them a nod. Beautiful.

Speaking of Who, Amy's return and "Raggedy man, good night" about 2.30 into this gets me blubbery: https://youtu.be/4F84WapAH7M

A few episodes of.Heartbeat are quite sad.One I remember when Phil and Gina's baby died.I had something in my eye with that.

Yes, that me off too. Tom Baker's surprise appearance in the 50th anniversary special had a similar effect. My Doctor.

I won't pretend I saw this at the time or even know much about the show but I watched this episode off the back of a Cracked article. Quite upsetting.

This was a sit-com?

Yeah, I remember when I was a kid and this went out -- it was a Very Special Episode (an understatement) and quite shocking, even for Norman Lear.

That is fucked up. I didn't watch all of it, but I watched the early scenes in which the audience are laughing at a terrified woman about to be raped.Some proto - JAM stuff, right there.

The final episode of The Leftovers.

I thought the series as a whole was quite patchy (I particularly despise all the hotel afterlife stuff with Theroux as a secret agent - just a lame rehash of The Sopranos limbo episodes). But that final season is brilliant, and the final episode a masterpiece. I was holding back tears for a lot of it, I think probably in anticipation of finding out what Nora's fate was (which I won't spoil for anyone who hasn't seen it).

Carrie Coon's acting in the ending of the penultimate episode got me too - her delivery of "Okay!" when Eccleston says he'll stay with her for what is probably going to be her suicide is just brilliant, and the monologue about the guy bursting the beach ball that leads up to it. She should have got an Emmy for that - I put her performance of Nora up there with Tony Soprano and Walter White as the great TV acting performances of all time, not a single note wrong. She made that show for me.

Another one would be the ending of The Dinosaurs - unbelievably grim, cute baby saying "I'm cold." Fuck me. Devastating.

The two on-screen deaths I've had an involuntary verbal "no!" reaction to are Bodie in The Wire and Bobby in The Sopranos. Both so brutal and shocking.
