Rose’s Emotional Goodbye

Hands up if you absolutely bawled your eyes out when Rose Tyler said her final goodbye to the Tenth Doctor! Their tearful farewell at Bad Wolf Bay is one of the most iconic moments in Doctor Who history.

Vincent Van Gogh Visits the Future

Is it getting dusty in here, or is someone chopping onions? When the Eleventh Doctor takes Vincent Van Gogh to a museum in the future to show him his legacy, it’s impossible to not have a lump in your throat. Seeing Van Gogh realise just how much he’s appreciated by future generations tugs at the heartstrings in the best way possible. It’s scenes like this that make us all want to be better humans, don’t you think?

The Brigadier’s Final Salute

When the Eleventh Doctor salutes the memory of Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart, fans everywhere felt a poignant connection to the character who had been a part of the series for decades. The way the Doctor acknowledged his old friend’s passing was touching and a beautiful nod to the series’ history. It was a bittersweet moment, filled with nostalgia and respect.

Donna’s Wedding

Donna Noble’s wedding at the end of "The End of Time" was nothing short of heartwarming. Despite not remembering the fantastic adventures she had with the Doctor, seeing Donna happy and loved was everything we needed. And let’s face it, seeing the Doctor give a winning lottery ticket to her granddad Wilf was pure gold (no pun intended). It was happy endings all around, and we couldn’t have asked for more!

Clara’s Tribute to the Eleventh Doctor

It was a tearjerker when Clara Oswald gave her moving speech about the Eleventh Doctor during his farewell episode. Her heartfelt words captured everything we loved about Eleven and made his regeneration that much more poignant. It was a moment of pure, undiluted emotion that left us all in pieces but also feeling incredibly grateful for the time we'd had with him.

Saving Gallifrey

Rewriting history to save Gallifrey? Check. Bringing together all incarnations of the Doctor? Check. This moment was epic and heartwarming in equal measure. The Time War had been a dark cloud hanging over the Doctor’s head for so long, and to see him finally find hope and redemption was something truly special. The look of sheer relief and joy on his face said it all. Want to remember the Doctor’s greatest victory? Our Doctor Who merchandise has got you covered!
