See, I unashamedly enjoyed the first 3 seasons of Skins. The show had it's problems and they were stupid at times, though I still thought they were good TV. But I found series 4 to be REALLY terrible! I spent the whole series questioning what on earth had happened to the writers, it was just one bad episode after another. I quite liked the new characters in the 3rd series, but that 4th series did it's best to make me despise them all.

That penultimate episode was like the ultimate "**** you, we're jumping the shark in a ****ing tank bitches!". I was dumbstruck that they would actually be stupid enough to go there, and the other half of me was laughing out loud at how bad the show had got and wishing I'd stopped watching at series 3.

At the risk of being called a big wussy pansy, the moment in doctor who where he had to wipe Donna's memory had me quite choked up , I think I was Manstrateing or something .

re. skins, shit as it was I quite enjoyed watching it for trash value till they portrayed mental illness and treatment in a way which was at best sensationalist and at worst dangerously irresponsible. about half way though I swore off ever watching it again.

Damn! I shouldn't have read this thread! There are some serious spoilers of shows that I've been meaning to watch for times but now have been utterly and completely ruined!! My own fault but it caught me off guard

Could TS put a spoiler alert in the thread title to prevent other thickies like me from stumbling over endings they didn't want to know about?

Omg there was no consoling me.

the most underrated show on these shores season 3 was pretty average but 4 was Amazing and the finale

^ I really can't wait for season 5 now I don't know what he's going to do with himself.

The end of The Snowman when the snowman melts and the oboe plays.

Not really a TV programme but the end of The Railway Children when Bobby cries: "Daddy, oh my Daddy".

Beth dying in Little Women (which actually happens in the book Good Wives. Beth (partially) recovers from her first bout of illness in Little Women).

Rachel dying in Cold Feet.

For some reason I've also cried at the episode of The Simpson's in which Maggie utters her first word 'Daddy' and no-one is around to hear it. It's the more moving because Bart always called him Homer and Lisa's first word was Bart).

That made me cry when I was a kid.
Something else which is ancient history now was when James Bellamy killed himself in Upstairs Downstairs.I was only a boy at the time and I remember being quite upset about it for days afterwards.

Yes that's the bit i immediately thought of when i saw the title of this thread.

Mine has to be the final scene in Blackadder season 4 when they "go over the top" to fight the germans armed with a stick and a pistol. Blackadder was an excellent series, funny but serious at the same time. It captures the scene perfectly how much those brave people were feeling just before.

The words "good luck..everyone" will stay with me forever

I agree. Possibly the best piece of writing for TV I've ever seen.
