When Shane died in Home & Away

I was only about 7

The whole episode of The Royle Family when nana died, from when she said "Im not a burden am I Barbara"

Watched a terribly sad show about a cancer hospice a while back, one woman's daughter had Down Syndrome and didn't know what was going on and then the woman died in the end... I was in bits!

/waaaaaaaaa

Anything to do with Terry Fox, yer man who ran across Canada after his leg had been amputated. He did it to raise money for cancer research and I think he was one of the bravest men who ever lived. Every time he is even mentioned on TV my eyes well up with tears.

Hillsborough, not sure if I was watching it live. I think I was. But remember seeing people running on to the pitch, I was only a kid too,but it got to me.

The finale of Lost sent me into a rabid rage - does that count ?

Would have to be that Late Late Show clip of Brendan Kenneally reciting a poem for the lady on the phone who was on the show because she could win a prize of a car but had lost her daughter to a car accident the night before.

sorry... no link!

Unreal & without doubt the best documentary I have ever seen. I often think of them.

More importantly how did this ever happen:

In Scrubs when Jordans brother, Ben, dies. Seeing Dr.Cox cry would bring any man to tears!

I remember seeing that in a video thread on this, it's really awkward as well as sad- even though the Late Late often has serious interviews with people who suffered a tragedy no one was expecting that to happen.

Every blasted episode of Lassie.....

He was permanently seconds from death ALL the time.....

Spent my youth sniveling over that mutt!....:(

When "Princess" Diana died, I was watching Sky News when word was coming through, and I cried, but not for Diana, more for how my mother would feel when she woke up to the news, and then for Diana's sons.

The day of the Twin Towers attack. It wasn't even the event that got me going, but I went to work after it happened and all the scummy dickheads I worked with were all laughing about it, saying "They got what they deserved.", which made me desperately sad.

Movie allowed?
The end of 'Dancer in the Dark' had me blubbing like a fuucking baby.

Internet allowed?
I know it was the most emotionally manipulative piece of shït ever seen, but I was on a come-down from something or other, and watched Kony 2012, and once she (gf) blubbed I blubbed.

Watched this on Discovery I think. Basically, this guy had a condition, that mean't his skin was in such poor state, it would come off so easily, he was always sick and in pain. He had an amazing attitude to it all, he knew he would die and suffer, but he said "I've just got a dodgy shell, that's all, a dodgy shell." That made me cry.

ducksmalone · 21-04-2012 02:12PM

Brian leaves westside

without doubt,the single worst day of the year....

not the fact that Brian Macfadden was leaving,but the fact that the 4 other kunts decided to keep westlife going,thankfully they have seen the errors of their ways and have since disbanded.

...... Bambi's mother dies:( close thread.

The Angeles it reminds of the suffering of our saviour Jebus.

**This tv does not support HD blah blah blah**

I needed a new HD cable at 9 oclock at night, no tele for the evening, I cried gloops, I was inconsolable. It won't happen again I now have an emergency HD cable in a glass case on the wall beside the tele. Lesson learnt.

The WWE tribute night for Eddie Guerrero was very emotional, as were the ones for Owen Hart and Chris Benoit.

Drumpot · 21-04-2012 02:44PM

When Big Brother was renewed by channel 5 . .

Constant reminder how sh*t reality tv shows are now passed off as entertainment . .

fantastic documentary, its on netflix as well, he's really funny as well for someone who's had such a sh1tty life. like having a carving of a tin of baked beans put on his coffin purely for the reason it'll bewilder people at his funeral :pac:

Only Fools and Horses- Time on our hands episode.

Del and Rodney's hard work finally paying off after all those years makes for a really emotional episode.

livinsane · 21-04-2012 02:56PM

A film rather than tv show, but first time I remember tearing up because of something on screen was in the cinema aged 7 watching My Girl, when Macaulay Culkin's

character dies

I won't watch that episode anymore because I know what's coming I start crying about 2 minutes in. : (

Can't watch the film, The Champ, either for the same reason. 2 minutes in I'm a blubbering mess. "wake up champ wake up" I'm welling up thinking about it.

I saw it on Youtube so not a 'Televised' moment in the traditional sense... but the story of Dick and Rick Hoyt. Really shows what an ordinary person is capable of. The lengths people will go to for their kids.

Team Hoyt began in 1977 when Rick became inspired by an article on racing he saw in a magazine. Dick Hoyt was not a runner and was nearly 37 years old. After their first race Rick said, “Dad, when I’m running, it feels like I’m not handicapped.” After their initial five mile run, Dick began running every day with a bag of cement in the wheelchair because Rick was at school and studying, unable to train with him". Dick was able to improve his fitness so much that even with pushing his son, he was able to obtain a personal record of a 5k in 17 minutes.
