[blink_babe13]

what does everyone think the saddest moment on TV ever has been? after watching Gabby speak about her baby on Desperate Housewives last night I think that comes at the top of mine.

any others?

When Ethel's little willy died in Eastenders.

And I'm not joking!

When a dog was put down on Animal Hospital Live, and Rolf Harris openly cried for around 10 minutes. Sob!

Every time I hear The last Post played.

Watching the first five minutes of Waterloo Road on BBC1 tonight and realising that I am paying hard earned cash for the BBC to turn out this drivel. Seriously it makes me want to weep that the TV tax is spent on keeping the great unwashed in unchallenging chewing gum for the eyes.

Elton John singing Candle in the Wind @ the funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales.

And as for the fictional answer i would go for when Rachel died in Cold Feet.

the news reports from Ethopia in 1984 / 1985

[sickofmorons]

Craig- I think you may be confusing saddest with either funniest, or most over the top and nauseating.

The current storyline in H&A with flynn dying and the dunblane shootings.

the saddest thing I ever saw was on last year about Rachel house the children's hospice. There was a young girl of around thirteen/fourteen who had cancer and had treatment but it retuned in her bones and was terminal - she was taken in to be shown the rainbow room. It's the room that the child is place in after they die as the bed is a refrigerator bed and keeps them there for over a week if needed until the funeral can be arranged and the famly can all say goodbye. She said is this where I'm going to be when I die. I could not stop crying as it was so sad and she was so brave.

Princess Diana dying. Nearly 9 years late I still cry my eyes out when I see clips of the news with Dermot Murnaghan braking the news that she'd died.

Spainlads- why, really why is it so sad that some overprivelaged, attention seeking, tart died nine years ago whilst living the high life? Really how many other cases of worthy people such as the poor child mentioned in aurelia's post were there and have there subsequently been that recieved no publicity? And please don't say she did a lot for charity, because she only did it because she was bored, and wasn't qualified to do any real work with her one o-level.

sick of morons I have to say I totally agree that Waterloo Road was a pile of poo after 5 minutes. I was looking forward to that. To steal your thread further blink_babe13 Lady Diana was a lovely mum, first and foremost. That is why we we were so sad in the main.

[sunflower68]

Oh, and I have to agree on Cold Feet.

[4getmenot]

Documentry the boy who's skin fell off :-( Very Sad

[Craig007]

sickofmorons, or can i just call u moron, its peoples opinion thats all. Do u have a sensible answer to the question or not?

[4getmenot]

No he never does, I do get annoyed with people still going on about Diane and conspiracys but at the end if that�s what makes you upset you were only answering a question. She was still someones mother, sister, daughter and will always be thought of by some people.

[valsuey]

Well I'm sorry but I was saddened by Diana's death too but the thing that really got to me watching the funeral was seeing that envelope with MOMMY written on it.I wept! Doesn't matter what you may have thought of her she was still those boys Mom and they lost her!

[Drisgirl]

Dunblane - 10 years on the 13 March.I will never forget.

[jackiegleed]

vicar of dibley when they were showing film of two boys crying cause their mom had died, was to do with 'live 8' i think. was heartbreaking.
