Blackadder Ending
BBC

The ending to Blackadder ranks among the most emotional sitcom moments we've ever seen, as the comedy puts aside its trademark silliness for a truly poignant finish.

As Blackadder and co over the top, the imagery slows down to a shot of no man's land that then gradually turns into a field of poppies. It's a shot that nicely ties in with the themes of death that permeate the episode, while ensuring the ending note isn't a completely bleak one but instead looks to the brighter future, complete with birdsong in the background.
