15 Doctor Who Scenes That Make You Cry Every Damn Time
8. The Family Of Blood (2008)
The tale of John Smith and Joan Redfern in Series 3's Human Nature/The Family of Blood two-parter had everything going for it apart from the potentially problematic fact that one half of the relationship was secretly a 900 year old alien in human disguise. No guesses as to which one! Their lives were ultimately ripped apart when the time came for him to be restored to his former Gallifreyan glory, but not before they were shown a devastating dream sequence depicting the future they could've had together, from marriage to death and everything else in between. The greatest love story that was never told.
