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.
