Bernard Cribbins' Return to Doctor Who Broke My Heart, in the Best Way

 

 

As brief as Bernard Cribbins' cameo was, and as sad as it is that he wasn't able to film more of what they had planned for his character before he passed away, it was exceptionally touching to see Wilf reuniting with the Doctor, providing a very heartfelt, optimistic, and tender closure to a 15 year old story that felt quite fitting to the show's defiantly hopeful core. Because sure, good things and happy reunions don't always happen, but it's nice to once in a while have a reminder that, sometimes, they actually do.
